Edwards "insulted" by Obama's lack of courtship? Is that true lol; sounds extremely diva-ish to me.
Obama doesn't need Edwards, and neither does Hillary when it comes down to it. But assuming he does endorse Hillary and she winds up losing the nomination...what's Edwards' next move? Obama has basically destroyed his relevance in some ways, and pretty soon his good looks will be gone.
And to think more than a year ago he was considered to be the premier anti-Hillary candidate for the nomination

I don't support Hillary. And even if I did it would be hard to explain Edwards' alleged decision. He was the anti-Hillary before Obama, and his anti corporation/lobbyist positions meshed much better with Obama. Which is why this is baffling to me, plus the fact that Hillary's chances of winning the nomination are pretty slim now. Like I said Edwards isn't stupid...so why would he (allegedly) decide to back Hillary at this particular moment?

Are we sure Edwards is not stupid?

Edwards is probably looking for a cabinet position or somesuch, which this late in the game would be more likely to come from Clinton given that she would need the endorsement more since she is so far behind. I mean, he really doesn't have much of a career anymore; he doesn't have a Senate seat, he couldn't carry his own state as VP in 2004 and would be a stupid pick for either candidate in 08, and after two consecutive failed runs for the nomination I doubt he runs in 2012.

When Senator Obama's preacher thundered about racism and injustice Obama suffered smear-by-association. But when my late father -- Religious Right leader Francis Schaeffer -- denounced America and even called for the violent overthrow of the US government, he was invited to lunch with presidents Ford, Reagan and Bush, Sr.

I think we will comfortably be able to confirm it or deny it pretty soon...Smiles and Cries said:
Edwards is a diva. He always has been.
When Kerry was considering him for VP Edwards said "I never told anyone this story in my life but I feel I must tell someone *tells some story about crawling on his dead son's body and promising him to make the world a better place...etc*"
Kerry said he heard him tell that exact same story a year ago with the same "I never told anyone this" line and it creeped him out.
Edwards is an egotistic diva. Of COURSE he'd probably go with whoever kisses his ass the most.

I saw an interview with him on CNN a while back when the rumors of him being McCain's VP first surfaced. He pretty much ruled out the possibility of a VP run, and actually complimented Obama quite a bit. He struck me as very likable, and it seems that his track record has been good - I would approve of him as my Governor.siamesedreamer said:
However his religious history kind of turns me off, though that'll probably be a huge plus for his base in case he does seek higher office. I hope he doesn't, incidentally, because then I'll have to weigh a very competent, if slightly crazy, Republican against whatever the Dems drudge up.

Bill Clinton's Image has been damaged by recent politics
Obama does best in areas that have either a large concentration of African-American voters or hardly any at all, but he struggles in places where the population is decidedly mixed.... As Erica Goode wrote in these pages last year, Robert Putnam and other sociologists have, in fact, found that people living in more diverse areas evince less trust for others no matter what their race

You complain about Jindal being Catholic, yet you're voting for Obama? Gawd some of y'all have your heads to far up his ass its unbelievable... :lol

Was gonna post that yesterday, but I figured that if it came from someone like me it would have been shrugged off as race baiting or something.
siamesedreamer said:
Call me crazy, but I doubt Zeed meant Jindal's catholicism when he noted his religious history made him nervous. More likely, it's his pro life stance and his opposition to stem cell research.
No anti-catholic conspiracy has to be presupposed to explain why an Obama supporter wouldn't be too hot on Jindal. He isn't exactly a moderate republican.
In about the past week, Wilmington volunteers have registered about 800 new voters, almost all of them impoverished African-Americans in public housing. Wonder who they'll be voting for.Cheebs said:
Since one of my relatives runs the local health food store, I got the plumb assignment of registering people out in front of there. I've registered a bunch of uber liberals and college students. Wonder who they'll be voting for.

After the way Edwards went after her since uh... always, that's got to be one of the most hollow endorsements ever.
