Has anyone asked Edwards about his opinion re: Kerry
and his latest endorsement? And if so, what did John say?

1. It didn't seem to bother him much
I saw a brief statement. It was polite.

5. Like big money from corp donors, he doesn't think its the most important thing
The most important thing according to Edwards is the candidate's vision, ideas, stand on the issues and willingness to change things.

I must say I have been very impressed with the way he handles himself.

No dirty tricks from his camp either.

He makes me proud to be a Democrat.

3. He handled it pretty well
EDWARDS STATEMENT ON SENATOR KERRY'S ENDORSEMENT OF SENATOR OBAMA

Chapel Hill, North Carolina - John Edwards released the following statement today about Senator John Kerry's endorsement of Senator Barack Obama.

"Our country and our Party are stronger because of John's service, and I respect his decision. When we were running against each other and on the same ticket, John and I agreed on many issues. I continue to believe that this election is about the future, not the past, and that the country needs a President who will fight aggressively to end the status quo and change the Washington system and to give voice to all of those whose voices are ignored in the corridors of power."

6. His PR staff put out a nice says nothing release after it happened.
They're good at those on the hour every hour PR releases.

7. He talks about that here . . .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGT_6iIHpfg

IMO, his remark to the effect that "I heard that was a possibility some time ago . . . " suggests that Obama is/was DLC.

Hillary and Obama are The Money Machine covering its bets on opposite ends of the same main-issue spectrum: Hillary pro-War and Obama "anti"-this-War. I'm an Edwards supporter and he sponsored the IWR, so re HC and BO, let's all just call a duck a duck, so we have some point from which to begin.
