1. I read on Politico that Clinton and Edwards
had a talk backstage when it was being taped. So I guess it's true.

3. I swear that if he endorses her
after Obama was questioned about his patriotism in front of 10 million people, I will be just too through. It will certainly confirm my instincts.

5. I don't think it would matter much, either way. Obama is winning.

6. I really like Edwards... I really hope he doesn't endorse her...
Edited on Thu Apr-17-08 09:09 PM by mckeown1128
I would be really disapointed... I understand that they are all politicians but... it would go against everything Edwards stood for. (It wouldn't even be a wise political move.. I mean christ... she's lost this thing already)

15. not necessarily
From what I understand, Edwards has his primary political base in the area where Obama has to do well in to well, win NC big.

It could matter a lot in NC, and could further pull in his supporter in WV and KY

12. Not the right timing now Frenchie.. His wife is getting some attention on the
healthcare issue.. Its more important to push the issues and agenda no matter what. Overall, above candidate, it is the issues that matter. So, whoever is the "decided" top figure to represent the ideals of true Democrats will, I'm assuming, will have the full support of Mr. Edwards to really work on fixing the disastorous messes of the repugs... Many people like his platform.. hell both the top candidates left keep graciously pulling from his platform.. Its the fix that is more important.. its the country and the people. Don't worry.

7. He won't endorse if Obama is appearing too. He'll stay neutral. This should be great.

9. That would be my take, also.
He will (and should) stay neutral in this format.

8. I would be highly disappointed. The reason I doubt this is that
Obama is also on the show. If JRE was to endorse Clinton, would Obama accept the invite?

14. With Clinton as the billed guest... I don't think so...
that would be th ultimate insult to Clinton... if Obama and Edwards crash the party to rub it in... yikes.... the media would go ape sh#t.

16. EdWords was f*&%ing fabulous on
Colbert! Just caught it on the left coast. He will not endorse until they endorse his policies. He is standing firm. This is a do not miss for Edwards fans!!
