Did anyone notice Hillary Clinton mentioning John Edwards and seemed to court his support? |
|
Twice she mentioned John Edwards. Mainly in reference.
Not only that but she had some populist moments that seemed to be playing to Edwards supporters and Edwards himself.
And one of her last lines was that her and Barack would be fine, and the goal is if America will be fine. That line was one John Edwards use a lot on the campaign trail. She changed it up a bit, but it seemed like she was being deliberate with her attempts to mention John Edwards, court his support, talk about some of the issues he pushed forward, and gain any undecided Edwards supporters in the remaining states.

7. Two things, I wish all of our candidates would follow John's message. |
|
He had the right message.
Second off, how do you know if she didn't call him up and ask him to use his pitch in the debate tonight?
You never know. He might be preparing for the Clinton endorsement.
A Edwards supporter turned Clinton supporter can dream ;)

15. I guess I am being negative but doesn't this kind of bother you? |
|
All I've been hearing from the pundits is Hillary's great closing. Part of that closing was straight from John. He never got credit for the great things he said or his great ideas. All of which are now being 'borrowed' by both Clinton and Obama.
Yeah, I guess I'm being negative. You didn't deserve it and I apologize to you.

16. What really bothers me is the media ignored John, and now he's not in the race. |
|
How I wish this was still the three person race.
John Edwards was a great candidate, and would have made a great President.

9. Did you hate when Obama co-opted Edwards message of "Change"? |
|
If you were REALLY paying attention, you would have noticed it around the 2nd or 3rd debate.

But can you blame her? It really didn't bother me. Although I suppose if her campaign wants to continue to harp on Obama's speeches and the wording he was given by Deval Patrick...
I'm sure both of them want Edwards' endorsement.

6. She was pandering...... |
|
While Obama was talking about Edwards issues like Homeless soldiers and getting rid of special interest.
