All I know is that this shit between Edwards and Obama about who's going
to drop out had better get worked out quick, because otherwise we're getting another Clinton Jan. 20, 2009.

I don't care who wins- just figure it out. We can't split the anti-Hillary vote, and that's what she's counting on at this point.

2. I vote for South Carolina as a fair decider.
If Edwards is a distant 3rd, he needs to drop. What the hell is this brokered convention bullshit? That hasn't happened many decades.

3. How fair is it when Obama used swiftboating the Clinton's to push himself to 68-73% with the blacks?

6. If Obama never ran it would be Edwards vs. Hillary
Why are obamites so concerned with fielding one strong candidate against Hillary now?

8. So fielding one strong candidate against Hillary is not sacred. It's about crowning Obama

9. Nah...couldn't be.
I don't think he should drop out before South Carolina. But if you do look at what he said in NH about Hillary being the status quo...

12. The Clintons were not swiftboated
Blacks took offense at nasty Bill Clinton comments and didn't like a HRC comment - they reacted to that not anything Obama did.

5. Let's see the evidence of there being an anti-Hillary vote
There is a pro-Edwards, pro-Obama, pro-Clinton, and pro-Kucinich vote.

10. The Edwards real world vote moves to Hillary by poll indications
I never believed in any anti-Hillary vote resulting from a combined Obama-Edwards. It was always a figment of the netroots.
