Not completely, but Mari Culver's endorsement in 2004 was what got me first looking at him.

He had to complete the sale on his own, but she got the motor running 😉

On a bit of a corollary, Clinton just told an interviewer at CNN that anyone who voted for her but is now planning on voting for McCain over Obama would be committing a "grave error". Seems like she's about to wrap it up.

Yep. Next Tues and it'll be all wrapped up for Obama for sure. And just last week some people here were saying that would be premature...

My bets are Hillary for VP and Edwards for AG.

Ugh... I thought this was going to be a easy win...

In MA rumors are that Obama will name Deval Patrick to be AG and John Kerry as Secretary of State.

Edwards doesn't owe his entire political career to the Clintons like Jud... er, Richardson did. 😉

Think again. The Democratic party owes everything to the Clintons.

You don't know what you're talking about

Oh my God. I think I'm gonna cry in the supply room for a little bit.

You have it backwards. Go to the red states and the purple states, the Democratic parties there despise the Clintons. The Clintons are responsible for the Democratic parties losing control of the house and Senate in the 1990s and that lasted until 2006. The screw the red states motto Hillary uses today isnt a new invention, Bill used it back in the day.

aren't the red and purple states the ones that have been propping up Clinton despite the democratic leadership jumping onboard the first anybody-but-Hillary that came along?

In MS, rumors are that Obama will name a Muslim foreigner with a complicated name to be AG and two-men-kissing as Secretary of State

Neither will I.

The last thing Obama or America needs is both Hillary and First Lady Bill looking over his shoulder at all times, second-guessing every decision, and offering unwanted and unneeded advice on how to get back to politics, corruption, and scandal as usual. The Clintons, like the Bushes, have had their turn. I want change, not more of the same.
 
Well, in a thread that stated at 5:30, it looks like the Op's speculation has finally been vindicated in a story posted 11 minutes ago.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/200...dM8RK05X5xqcjPKAys0NUE

According to the link, Edwards finally done the deed, as a super delegate he carries one vote, and the 19 delegates he won are still free to do whatever.

It now looks like Hillary math is getting grimmer and grimmer. I still am predicting that Obama will need to win Oregon to end it on a high note.

And now we can finally focus on an Obama McCain match up in November.

I can see it all now, some future potato chip commercial, this time featuring Hillary and McCain instead of Ann Richardson and Mario.

Edwards isn't a superdelegate.
 
I always enjoy how this man is supposed to carry the white blue collar vote. Nothing screams a common ground with those people than a 20,000 sq foot home and 100 million in the bank from suing their employers pants off.

Cheer up at least Edwards earned it. McCain cheated on his first wife to win the hand of a drug addicted Beer heiress also worth a 100 mil. But its kinda sorta better family values than shilling for Keating and pays better too.
 
I want Hillary for VP. She's a good candidate and all this hate going around is uncalled for. After all, the bitch won 40%+ of the democrat primaries :rolleyes;
 
It's about issues. Edwards talks about issues that working poor care about. Obama talks about abstractions like Hope and Change that get spoiled liberal elites going, but not issues.

I am going to counter the rampant sexism in this forum with whatever way I see fit from now on. I know that probably 99% of posters in this Forum are male (including myself), but the amount of sheer ignorance is astonishing.

I'll strongly support Barack Obama to be our next president once he's the nominee. After all, that n****r is a Democrat anyway.
 
Both McCain and Obama have significant weaknesses that a VP pick can only partially repair. Sadly there seems no natural choice on either side that can address all of the weakness.

But in the grand scheme of things, the Edwards endorsement is huge.

Prove it.

Clinton supporters are nothing but class who actually know the issues

Like those who didn't graduate from college, high school, or junior high?

You mean, blacks?

Look, I hate myself replying this way, but listen to what you guys are saying. To be frank, I can't tell some Obama supporters from the Republicans.

Ease up and take a breath there friend. I know where your coming from but don't let them bring you down to their level.

It says a lot about his character that he endorsed Barack Obama too. It says he doesn't give people (the Clintons) what they've worked VERY HARD FOR :|

What they have worked hard for? You mean the American people or their own self interest?
