Edwards Praises Both Clinton, Obama

Holding out his endorsement for potentially Attorney General offer from either of the candidates!

Edwards could SAVE the party by doing the right thing--endorsing Senator Clinton. He is waiting because he is hoping a locked convention will turn to him. Clearly, Obama does not have the votes to win and the Rev Wright issue will ikeep him from becoming President. Obama sat there and listened to the anti-American tirades. He allowed his young daughters to be subjected to the hatred of Rev Wright. So much for his good judgment. Clearly, Obama does NOT have the Right stuff. Clearly Obama has the Wright stuff.

John needs to endorse whomever he supports before the North Carolina Primary. As someone who supported Edwards, I cannot imagine him supporting anyone other than Obama. Hillary is - Edwards so often pointed out - the biggest recipient of corporate lobbyist money in the race. Her health care plan will force people who cannot afford it to buy PRIVATE health insurance or face fines or prison. Not exactly help for the working poor or their children is it?

Hillary has shown herself to be a pathological liar. Anyone paying attention the last 16 years knows that. Bosnia was a liar - a whopper - not a misspoken or misremembered event. The Clintons are not used to the u-tube world, and thus are finding it hard to lie and get away with it. It isn't stopping them from trying!

Come on, John! Cowboy up!

as an edwards supporter, i think he knows that a bomb has more power before it is used than after it has exploded (nukes are good when you have them, once used, there is litlte threat left). By not endorsing either candidate, he can continue to pressure both to pay attention to the issues that he brought to the campaign. I can't imagine him being a VP nominee. (has anyone ever done that twice but for different nominees?) However, if he can manage to not offend any of the sitting senators on the democratic side, I sure would like to see a relatively young trial lawyer (as opposed ot a corporate one) sitting on the supreme court someday soon!

As for the mansion, do you people really believe that we will EVER elect anyone president who doesn't have the assets that include a really large house (or houses)? Does that mean that the poorer elements of society can never have anyone elected who genuinely supports them? Seems to me that RFK lived in a frigging compound, and he seemed believable about his support to help end poverty, and Teddy does also, and has a lifetime of legislative work to back up his beliefs. It is in both the economic and moral interests of ALL americans to support the safety nets that provide for the largest middle class possible and the protection of those too weak or unfortunate to provide for themselves.

I'm glad that Edwards has not decided to jump into the masochistic brawl that the Democratic Contest has become. His positive words are reassuring after a constant stream of negativity. I'm also glad he hasn't endorsed anyone and hope he continues to remain a voice of neutrality in support of the wider Democratic Party. This is a man with tact and an awareness of the bigger picture.

John your a wimp!

he is quickly becoming unimportant

Guess what folks. Richardson was going to endorse Clinton, but changed his mind. This is a hard decision for these guys. They have been behind the scenes with both candidates. They know shit we don't know. Edwards has his reasons for holding off an endorsement. Could be as simple as not wanting to take sides in case this actually gets to the convention and somebody needs to make peace. The truth is that most people on both sides respect Edwards. That makes him unique as someone to help mend the party after the primary. We need someone to do that if you all didn't notice.

Edwards recognizes a winner, but he is also tactful, too.

It is good to see a national leader like Sen. Edwards get out in front of the cameras and say something without being negative.
We should let the process of choosing a candidate proceed, respectfully, until someone is finally chosen. Isn't the purpose of the political process to try to run the government constructively?
Using lies, dirty tricks, and misinformation as campaign tools might succeed in the short term, but as we have seen for the last seven years, such methods are not good for the country.

I don't know exactly what to think of John Edwards. Perhaps I am being cynical but I think he has been holding out for a guarranteed position be it VP or Attorney General etc... and has been rebuffed. At this point, I do not think his endorsement matters that much just like Richardson who did not do so until after Texas. It was nice but did not really change the election dynamic much. I love John's spirit and comments but still hard for me to get by the huge mansion and all when he is supposedly for the little guy. I mean all it would take is a short video clip of his place and put in serious doubt his conviction to help poverty in this country. I do not think he helps Clinton or Obama as being VP so they have not offered it and this probably is why he has held back his endorsement.

When you sit on the fence John watch out for splinters!

Still running with the hare and hunting with the hounds.

This is proof, that although John Edwards has not formerly endorsed either candidate, he endorses
both of them by mentioning that they are good candidates, and people should vote for democratic
candidate, regardless of which Democrat it is. Every Democrat should think this way. John Edwards
has lead on every policy for these two candidates, including race issues in his campaign. Note
that Obama, didn't mention race u ntil the Rev was exposed.

Frankly I hope he doesn't endorse either candidate and waits until the nomination, whenever that is,
June or the convention. This is a Democracy for the people not just media pundits and Obama supporters and staffers.

attorney general edwards sounds pretty good to me

Att. General Edwards knows more than he is saying. Read between the lines.
