Edwards to Endorse Obama

January 13th, 2008 By: Michael van der Galien | Tags:

Well, he’s still in the race himself of course but I strongly agree with Jeralyn that it’s likely that Edwards will endorse Obama when / if he drops out. As to when he’s likely to drop out I also agree with the owner of TalkLeft: probably after South Carolina if he finishes a distant third.

Edwards endorsement, if it happens, could play a very important role.

    I think that after his running mate Kerry endorsed Obama , he should not go favor of him! I’d endorse Clinton if i were Edwards!

    Pamela, Edwards whole platform is going against the establishment, Clinton would be a rather odd pick in that light no?

    Look kennedy tried for Obama ! It is not working!
    People wants Hillary and the reason is the proven economy during her husband’s 2 term presidency!
    I wish that Edwards will lean to Clinton and will be her VP!
    This way it will balance the Clinton establishment and will definitely be a winning ticket in 2008!
    Obama can not unite  jewish votes therefore he can not win in FL, NY and CA in a general election,
    Do you really want the Republicans again?
    Because , that is what we will be getting with Obama!

    Here we go again with the bots. John, Jews constitute 3% of the American population, and not all of them are voting for Hillary. Do you know how many Jews live in Chicago? Lots, my family amongst them, guess who they’re voting for? Are you seriously telling me that blue state CA would go for a Republican if Obama got the ticket? And that it would be because of Jews? Gimme a break.

    Florida has a high population of old people and latinos, Hillarys best groups, and is not very representative given that all three candidates agreed not to campaign there (though Hillary kind of "forgot" about that these past few days").

    The jews in Ca may not be a lot but all the business owners will have a huge impact on their friends, employees  and  their  orgainizations to cut Obama in CA! like the Kennedy’s will do  the same to cut Hillary  in MA, RI!
    So muy prediction is yes!
    Obama can jmot win a general election!
    Latinos, Jews are against Obama!
    And since Mccain will be the nomine, actullay he is not that bad to vote for. He is a liberal Republican!
    So sorry!

    Democratic party should have unite around Edwrads than! 
    You go ask Teddy why he did not back Edwards!
    So sorry but noone can blame the Jews!
    Semi-muslim candidate is unacceptable!
    People even did not vote for a Mormon Christian and went for Mccain! I think that it was a huge factor against Romney! Allthough he has a good resume.
    Obama at live debate said that he will start a dialogue with the enemy Iranian president Ahmedinejat! HUH!!!
    I gotta go!
    Good luck anyway! You need it with Obama! HUH!!!
