Bout time, dude. Did you bring a six pack to the party with ya?

edwards was totally my second pick behind kucinich. he needs to be vp!!! it’s an obvious choice!!! although the kansas governor, sibelius is a great choice as well!!

Obama/Edwards 2008

Obama/Sibelius 2008

Obama/_________ 2008

As an old, uneducated person (ahem), I wonder why all the politrickers who can’t win are backing BO? The democratic party has long had suicidal tendencies.

[deleted - refers to deleted post. Sitemonitor]

“scandal” you redneck troll!!!

apparently the internets have reached your holler in west virginia

yes, the endorsement has significance. Edwards has shown himself to be a statesman in the same vein as jimmy carter. Both have integrity and have put their ethnics above party politics. They did not waiver to achieve an office as so many others were prone to do. Edwards and carter, both men of integrity with strong moral fiber.

Wish he would have gotten off the fence before West Virginia, but hopefully this will make a difference.

Edwards was sucking clinton and obamas privates for the job of vice president in his waneing days of the he he phony debates, xoites will be pleased im sure!

This is good. I was an Edwards supporter before I came around to Obama. If these guys are working together, I’m hopeful we might actually have an enlightened progressive option in this presidential election cycle. Fantastic news!

Edwards for VEEP…or maybe Virginia’s Webb…

ABC News went live to Obama’s speech. Thats cool, especially after their debate fiasco chaired by Gibson.

And its about damn time John.

Should be the other way around but hey…that’s politics.

Now, on to a resounding defeat in November courtesy Tony Rezko;

“As long as Rezko was only under investigation, Obama was willing to do business with him. But then Rezko committed the fixer’s biggest sin: He got indicted and got his name in the papers. After that, the friendship cooled. Obama has donated $157,835 in Rezko-linked contributions to charity and has called the real estate deal “boneheaded.” But he still lives in the house. And he still has the power Rezko helped him attain.”

Ugh.

Happening RIGHT NOW!!!!
goodbygottago

If Obama wants a VP that will shore up his campaign, he should be selecting General Wesley Clark. It gives the ticket military credentials, solidifies foreign policy and European credentials (where Obama is seen as lacking on his own), and adds another solidly progressive, Democratic voice to the executive branch.

Despite being an Edwards supporter, I don’t real think he’ll fill in any real gaps in Obama’s campaign.

I hope another half dozen notable SD’s come out and endorse BO in the next week. Then we can put this thing to bed!

after 8 years of right wing republican war crimes and domestic treason, and a complicite congress that still won’t lift a finger

against the bush junta, obama could have a teenage boy taped to his crotch and still win!!!

Ugh.

It’s been too late since he dropped out. There will always be the sense that he is endorsing him to finally just end the race, rather than because Barack supports his views. I definitely supported Edwards up until he dropped out, but Barack blew his endorsement early on insisting that his healthcare covers all Americans (it doesn’t). I still immensely prefer Obama to Clinton and would probably even vote for him over Edwards if they were against each other, but Obama really needs to redo his healthcare proposals. That’s why this endorsement comes so late.

omg edwards is praising clinton , let the hate begin!

Yeah, well, Keating 5. And where does all of Mrs. McCain’s money come from? Why keep those tax returns under wraps?

Since Edwards won so few states outright, how many delegates can he offer Obama? Will the Edwards delegates be commited to vote for Obama in any Party Convention?

This certainly undercuts Hillary’s recent populist message, crafted largely by Edwards earlier. But then many didn’t buy it from Edwards either, and saw him only as a rich lawyer, like they never heard of his background, or in FDR’s case a certain sense of noblesse oblige.

Geauxbama!

Clark is a punk. Sorry, for a man with his education and background, he should not have committed the war crimes he is guilty of.

Yes, but Clark has been a die-hard Clinton supporter from the very beginning, and if he crosses over to Obama ir would only serve to highlight the magnitude of Clinton’s loss.

I’m an Obama Supporter, but I think links to commercial items should be discouraged in the C&L comments.

Damn he’s good, that’s why I was for him originally. Glad he’s finally joined the Obama team. He’ll make a fantastic attorney general.

Yeah, and I heard that Obama shot Vincent Foster too.

oh please…rezko is a non issue

mccain has surrounded himself with dirty lobbyists

im sorry, but one cannot be in politics without rubbing elbows with crooked businessmen…the question is, just how many

obama has one….mcoldman has hundreds

Obama needs Edwards’ endorsement to win NC in November. I think he can do it. And with Webb as his VP, Virginia will likely do the same - either of those states turning blue clinches the presidency for Obama.

This is wonderful … tonight on Race to the White House, instead of listening to endless speculation about Obama and the ‘white vote’ … we are listening to a great speech by Edwards …

I was an Edwards supporter, because I am a big supporter of labor and unions and that is how I see Edwards …. but when he dropped out, I switched to Obama and now I am glad to see Edwards endorse him! this is wonderful

Happy Days are here again!!!!!

(and for the record I am a 60 yr old forced to retire white woman -sole income a pension of less 20K a year [hurry up 62nd birthday} Catholic and single and I live in a hispanic part of Texas … I am supposed to be the epitome of Hillary supporter!)

Go Obama! Thanks, John!

guess Edwards got tired of being out of the lime light, the has beens are surfaceing again! wasnt to long ago Edwards was unacceptable here as a potential president because he was just a cheap lawer! once upon a dung heap you can never get off!

I’ll never understand the venom people have for Obama. I saw a link on youtube for a vid wherein they compare Obama to heir schicklgruber.
Can you imagine? What kind of lunatic sees any comparison between the architect of the holocaust and a Democratic nominee hopeful?
I get that it’s a contentious race but people need to save their ire for those who truly deserve it. The shrub co. crime syndicate and it’s reslug base. And let’s not forget the spineless dems who capitulated after winning the majority in the last election. What the hell was that about?

edwards will become the ag

and he will make it his sworn duty to put cheney, rove and bush all behind bars

“he should not have committed the war crimes he is guilty of.”

War crimes? Yea, sure.

BET on it!!

Give it a rest, tyree - you and HRC should both learn to lose with a little dignity.

I’m glad he finally did it. Obama and Clinton have both run tough campaigns, each in their own ways. The contest between them has been invigorating for Democratic voter turnout and registration, but now that the math is so clearly not going Clinton’s way, I think it’s time to move on to working on the general election rather than the primaries. If Edward’s endorsement can start a landslide of superdelegate endorsements of Obama, perhaps Clinton will cease from what has become a Quixotic attempt to win the nomination.

sure the day obama gets swore in or clinton takes her hat back out of the race till then fo!

This is something I had hoped for since the New York primary. Mr. Edwards dropped out just before it went down, and I was very saddened by that. Now that he’s officially endorsed Obama, I feel the vote I gave to Obama in the New York primary was the right thing to do.

Wrong again tyree. Edwards had a lot of supporters here. We complained many times that the MSM weren’t giving him any face time in the debates or the media.

Amazing speech by John! Very moving.

Buchanan just said that a Clinton victory in Kentucky will negate this.
Hahahahahahhahahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahhah
Wiping tears of laughter from my eyes.
hahahaha
Oh my.

Edward’s backing is of significance, though the way I read it on CNN, they refer to it as though it were no big deal.

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/PO.....index.html

Frankly, I want to see Edwards as VP, or at least as attorney general. To think, we could have two young, thoughtful, passionate people leading a country, actually chasing and prosecuting the bad guys and cleaning up this damned mess.

Speaking of VPs, the most solicited endorsement now would be by Al Gore…

You can say that again!

i’m soo excited to hear this…cause for celebration. i was always a supporter of both, but would have liked to see edwards on top…however i support obama just as stonrgly now. i would like to see obama/edwards…

[Deleted. Don’t tell our posters what to do-Sitemonitor]

Pundits will pooh pooh the endorsement (especially Edwards haters that couldn’t get enough of haircut stories), but it’s really important. It will unite many Edward supporters behind Obama. It won’t make a big difference in the short term, but I think it will magnify later.
