Politico:

Elizabeth Edwards on Sunday rejected speculation that she might endorse New York Sen. Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination.

"If you listened to what I said and not to what pundits said I was thinking, you would know that I was never inclined to endorse," Edwards wrote in an e-mail to Politico Sunday afternoon.

Speculation about whether she might back Clinton spiked when Edwards did not appear Wednesday with her husband, former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, during his endorsement of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, who is winning the support of an increasing number of party leaders and superdelegates as he appears poised to edge out Clinton for the nomination.

she's smart! she knows that men, people don't care about her opinion anyway.
she's a former senator's wife... what the hell does she know.
glad she knows her place if the pundits don't!

you're a joke MARCO34LA.! You're comments really reflect what you think of yourself: you don't matter, you need to know your place, and what the hell do you know? What are you going to do with yourself when Obama wins? Who will be left for you to abuse? your wife, your children, your mother?

This is probably a Republican paid troll working to set Democratic voters against each other.

What a great and classy lady. Smart and direct - she'd get my vote. Polar opposite of Hillary.

Think of all the effort you expended just to say that. Clicking the link. Skimming the article. Typing out your comment. Maybe you even had to log in. Think about that the next time you're wondering where it all went wrong.

"all the effort"? Your little brain might find reading and writing a taxing exercise, but don't assume that holds true for others.

Elizabeth is a marvelous role model for all young feminists. Strong, feminine, and caring.

What beautiful women. Intelligent. Independent. Confident, Poised and Classy. I can't say enough about Elizabeth Edwards and Michelle Obama. What a wonderful first lady either of them would make. Or president for that matter. Either of them would be good vice presidents. I get so damned tired of clueless white men wall to wall on MSM all day and night yelling at each other.

What's up with the media's coverage of Senator Obama's rally in Oregon? Were there too many persons in attendance for CNN'S cameras to cover i.e. in excess of 75,000 PEOPLE??????????? They NEVER showed the crowd! What are they afraid of? SHAME ON CNN!!!! RACIST AMERICA IS HARD AT WORK.

As an aside, I reckon MC-"CANE" hasn't racked up numbers like that in all 75,000 of his rallies!!!

I don't think CNN is racist, but if they aren't showing the crowd, it's because they don't want people to see how powerful this movement is.

Good point, Like poll results, the image of the throng will play on the fickle electorate.

I was wondering the same thing as CNN covered his speech. Never once pulled out so that we could see who he was speaking to---and they muted the all sounds of the crowd so that the only thing you could hear was Obama on the mike. And just barely.

CNN reported at the time that the crowd numbered 35,000 to 50,000. Yeah, right...

Who Cares Anymore?

I care. Elizabeth Edwards is one classy lady. Spot on when she says listen to her words and not how pundits spin. Good advice in this election. Listen to words, observe actions and be careful of the spin!
