I don't know if Edwards endorsement will mean much. I'm waiting to see who Gore endorses; that will likely be a bigger issue.

I think Gore would endorse the nominee after he/she becomes the nominee. Though Edwards was popular amongst the blue collar white workers, and thats where Clinton has big advantages. I think everyone knows Clinton will not drop out, as stubborn as she is, but Super Delegates would be influenced by this endorsement, and tilt towards the decision of uniting behind Obama.

I agree entirely with PB. In fact, I think Edwards had to climb on board Obama's train at this point since he is clearly the nominee, for the sake of unity, and his waiting this long to endorse kind of shows that he was leaning toward Clinton, probably only because of her health care agenda. Or just hedging his bet so as to maintain a VP slot on either ticket, although that seems less likely since he would have had a better chance if he endorsed Obama about 2 weeks ago, when it was already clear he'd win.

This black guy (Hussein Obama) won't win against McCain.

dirtythoughts...black guy (Hussein Oboma)??? You must be a republican! Nice comment! It is a shame you resort to these kind of things! you, McCain, Bush...all the same in NOvember...????

It's all good, yikes. Anything that Republicans do or say that reinforces their image as an old, white, racist men's club (/scandal factory) only hurts them in the end. Times are a-changin', dirtythoughts...

Ariyel who do you think Gore will endorse? He was vice president for two terms with the CLINTONS. Hes just not endorsing yet because he thinks that he would have a chance of bringing the democratic party together and that he might be a nominee.

Just because he was VP with Bill for 8 years doesn't mean he's going to endorse Hillary. Look at Bill Richardson, he went Obama.

This event is not insignificant. Her land slide victory in west virginia gave her an 11 delegate gain. Edwards brought 18 other superdelegates alone, completely covering that loss.

DT please. . . Turn into a Dixiecrat, now!! yikes, i don't think McCain or even Bush made race a factor, Hillary on the other hand...

I laugh whenever a democrat tries to pain the GOP as a party of racists, when the GOP has historically done more for civil rights in this country than any other party. Don't believe it? Challenge me.

I am a proud Republican, and I and all of us know that America has not been totally cleansed of racism. While some of us know that racism is bad for our country, we still make our decisions largely based on race. STOP PRETENDING. Obama will be judged based on his skin color in the general election.

dirtythoughts | 05/17/08

Hussein Obama will not be good for our country. I and many of us just don't trust the dude. These people include a big chunk of Democrats. But he's good as a candidate, as he will be the easy one to beat. McCain 08'

dirtythoughts | 05/17/08

Dirty, I agree with your general point of fact that many will vote with race in mind, from all political parties and perspectives; but I don't agree with your implicit presumption that race will be the only, or even the main, voting criterion in the general election. Besides, don't give democrats yet another excuse to use, in case they lose in November. Voting fraud; voter intimidation; disenfranchisement of minorities. . . don't encourage the knee-jerk racism card excuse, as well.

Good call Pit

PB, challenge me on the political parties/race advancement issue.

DonkeyDude | 05/18/08

I will, after our POA one. Or, feel free to challenge me with your stance first, and I'll rebut. Either way is fine with me.

USA Pit Bull 63 | 05/18/08

I think Dirty Thoughts you are racist and are trying to justify it by making us believe that all of us are. I won't fall for it.

Stop refering to Sen. Obama as Hussein.

You are not doing your candidate any favor.
