John Edwards stole Hillary Clinton's "momentum"
Edited on Wed May-14-08 08:15 PM by Kerry2008
Any momentum from the West Virginia primary is over....

She has no real way to the nomination, but even her big win (which was rather meaningless in the big picture) means absolutely nothing because it's simply overshadowed by the last major endorsement of the campaign. I say this because I doubt Al Gore will endorse, so it seems like Johnny boy will be the last man to endorse. I'm not saying his endorsement means shit to voters, but what it does do is overshadow the good news the Clinton campaign got from last night and it further sends the message it's all but over for the Clinton campaign.

John Edwards didn't deliver the death blow. But he certainly helped to...

I respect and admire Senator Clinton.

But it's so over. Thank you John Edwards for your endorsement.

I'll respectfully let Clinton decide when and if she wants to drop out. She can run as long as she wants to be. If she wants to play Mike Huckabee, let her...

Endorsed Obama!

'This race is over,' former DNC chair says; Obama adds more superdelegates"

Update at 11:05 a.m. ET: On the conference call, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe just confirmed that Romer is endorsing Obama. Romer will be joining the call shortly.

9. Ah, Governor Roy... How we still love you in Colorado!
That man was a great governor. If it hadn't been for term limits, who knows - he might still be in office today!

16. He was around when I
was living in Denver in early '90's. I wasn't into the politically side then but remember his name for sure.

4. If his 18 released delegates go to Obama this week, then after a
huge, enormous victory for Hillary in WV, she will have netted -7 or -8 pledged delegates this week.

8. He most certainly stole her thunder, and more importantly, her news cycle.
Damned brilliant political maneuvering by the incredible Obama political machine. I have been awestruck by them at every turn in this primary season.

12. Edward's endorsement means Little or NOTHING.
HRC will continue the FIGHT with support from her SUPER SILENT MAJORITY, until the WH nomination is HERS alone.

28. Not just for after WV but Kentucky as well.
There is absolutely no excuse anymore for Clinton to remain in this race. She is free to go on but every day from now is just doing damage to her political future.
