At a campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, former Senator John Edwards will officially endorse Barack Obama. The 2008 Democratic Presidential primary has been a long, grueling and emotional process and both Obama and Clinton have big name endorsements in their corner -- but this one could be the biggest of all. John Edwards ran a solid, progressive, populist campaign and was a favorite of many in the blogosphere. What do you think, does Edwards' endorsement of Obama have any real significance?

Bout time, dude. Did you bring a six pack to the party with ya?
edwards was totally my second pick behind kucinich. he needs to be vp!!! it's an obvious choice!!! although the kansas governor, sibelius is a great choice as well!!
Obama/Edwards 2008
Obama/Sibelius 2008
Obama/_________ 2008
As an old, uneducated person (ahem), I wonder why all the politrickers who can't win are backing BO? The democratic party has long had suicidal tendencies.
[deleted - refers to deleted post. Sitemonitor]
"scandal" you redneck troll!!!
apparently the internets have reached your holler in west virginia
yes, the endorsement has significance. Edwards has shown himself to be a statesman in the same vein as jimmy carter. Both have integrity and have put their ethnics above party politics. They did not waiver to achieve an office as so many others were prone to do. Edwards and carter, both men of integrity with strong moral fiber.
Wish he would have gotten off the fence before West Virginia, but hopefully this will make a difference.
Edwards was sucking clinton and obamas privates for the job of vice president in his waneing days of the he he phony debates, xoites will be pleased im sure!
This is good. I was an Edwards supporter before I came around to Obama. If these guys are working together, I'm hopeful we might actually have an enlightened progressive option in this presidential election cycle. Fantastic news!
Edwards for VEEP...or maybe Virginia's Webb...
ABC News went live to Obama's speech. Thats cool, especially after their debate fiasco chaired by Gibson.
And its about damn time John.
Should be the other way around but hey...that's politics.
Now, on to a resounding defeat in November courtesy Tony Rezko;
"As long as Rezko was only under investigation, Obama was willing to do business with him. But then Rezko committed the fixer's biggest sin: He got indicted and got his name in the papers. After that, the friendship cooled. Obama has donated $157,835 in Rezko-linked contributions to charity and has called the real estate deal "boneheaded." But he still lives in the house. And he still has the power Rezko helped him attain."
Ugh.
Happening RIGHT NOW!!!!
goodbygottago
If Obama wants a VP that will shore up his campaign, he should be selecting General Wesley Clark. It gives the ticket military credentials, solidifies foreign policy and European credentials (where Obama is seen as lacking on his own), and adds another solidly progressive, Democratic voice to the executive branch.
Despite being an Edwards supporter, I don't real think he'll fill in any real gaps in Obama's campaign.
I hope another half dozen notable SD's come out and endorse BO in the next week. Then we can put this thing to bed!
Johnny2Bad @ 12:
It's been too late since he dropped out. There will always be the sense that he is endorsing him to finally just end the race, rather than because Barack supports his views. I definitely supported Edwards up until he dropped out, but Barack blew his endorsement early on insisting that his healthcare covers all Americans (it doesn't). I still immensely prefer Obama to Clinton and would probably even vote for him over Edwards if they were against each other, but Obama really needs to redo his healthcare proposals. That's why this endorsement comes so late.
omg edwards is praising clinton , let the hate begin!
Johnny2Bad @ 12:
Yeah, well, Keating 5. And where does all of Mrs. McCain's money come from? Why keep those tax returns under wraps?
Since Edwards won so few states outright, how many delegates can he offer Obama? Will the Edwards delegates be commited to vote for Obama in any Party Convention?
This certainly undercuts Hillary's recent populist message, crafted largely by Edwards earlier. But then many didn't buy it from Edwards either, and saw him only as a rich lawyer, like they never heard of his background, or in FDR's case a certain sense of noblesse oblige.
Geauxbama!

Aaron @ 14:
Clark is a punk. Sorry, for a man with his education and background, he should not have committed the war crimes he is guilty of.
I'm watching my Dream Ticket on TV right now.
Obama/Edwards '08!
Aaron @ 14:
Yes, but Clark has been a die-hard Clinton supporter from the very beginning, and if he crosses over to Obama ir would only serve to highlight the magnitude of Clinton's loss.
tyree @ 7:
Me too!
Ron @ 25:
then the dream lives on!
humidhaney @ 21:
I'm an Obama Supporter, but I think links to commercial items should be discouraged in the C&L comments.
Damn he's good, that's why I was for him originally. Glad he's finally joined the Obama team. He'll make a fantastic attorney general.
Johnny2Bad @ 12:
Yeah, and I heard that Obama shot Vincent Foster too.
You should stay off of Red State, man.
marko @ 2:
Obama/Kucinich 2008!
Johnny2Bad @ 12:
oh please...rezko is a non issue
mccain has surrounded himself with dirty lobbyists
im sorry, but one cannot be in politics without rubbing elbows with crooked businessmen...the question is, just how many
obama has one....mcoldman has hundreds
Obama needs Edwards' endorsement to win NC in November. I think he can do it. And with Webb as his VP, Virginia will likely do the same - either of those states turning blue clinches the presidency for Obama.
This is wonderful ... tonight on Race to the White House, instead of listening to endless speculation about Obama and the 'white vote' ... we are listening to a great speech by Edwards ...
I was an Edwards supporter, because I am a big supporter of labor and unions and that is how I see Edwards .... but when he dropped out, I switched to Obama and now I am glad to see Edwards endorse him! this is wonderful
Happy Days are here again!!!!!
(and for the record I am a 60 yr old forced to retire white woman -sole income a pension of less 20K a year [hurry up 62nd birthday} Catholic and single and I live in a hispanic part of Texas ... I am supposed to be the epitome of Hillary supporter!)
Go Obama! Thanks, John!
guess Edwards got tired of being out of the lime light, the has beens are surfaceing again! wasnt to long ago Edwards was unacceptable here as a potential president because he was just a cheap lawer! once upon a dung heap you can never get off!
I'll never understand the venom people have for Obama. I saw a link on youtube for a vid wherein they compare Obama to heir schicklgruber.
Can you imagine? What kind of lunatic sees any comparison between the architect of the holocaust and a Democratic nominee hopeful?
I get that it's a contentious race but people need to save their ire for those who truly deserve it. The shrub co. crime syndicate and it's reslug base. And let's not forget the spineless dems who capitulated after winning the majority in the last election. What the hell was that about?
It's time for CHANGE. I have "wasted" my votes in past elections voting for third party candidates. This year there is a major party candidate I can and will support: his name is Barack Obama. It was John Edwards who first drew my attention to the Democratic primaries and I would love to see him in BO's administration.
As for the question posed: his endorsement isn't all that important, since this race was over in February when Obama won 11 in a row.
Explain to me just why you Obama supporters felt the need to boo when Edwards talked about Hillary Clinton. Why do you hate her so much? Do you really believe that she is a racist? Do you hate her because she is over 59? Do you hate her because she might use up some or all of your Social Security benfits leaving nothing for you? Do you want all life in America to end at 60? It was really a great scene to hear the audience at Edwards, Obama's great friend and great leader of the Democratic party,to quote B.O when Edwards first started. This election needs to come sooner than later before we Democrats kill each other. If you boo at even the mention of Hillary, do you plan on tarring and feathering McCain because he won't be as civil to Obama as Clinton is? I guess courtesy is passe.
-In 2012 Obama will be nothing more than a bump in the road in Hillary’s rear view mirror. Obama is an electoral train wreck. He can’t even carry PA. or FL. He’s just a 4 year delay. Nothing more.
Florida doesn't even count, numbnuts. It wouldn't matter if it did at this point anyway, because Obama would still be ahead in delegates, both pledged and super. Besides, anyone who thinks a Clinton could possibly come out of a campaign unscathed with
GOP PropagandaFOXNews on full attack mode, with 18 years to build the Clinton name into the antichrist, is deluded.What pleasant news to see after class today!
I knew this day would come. Like many others, Edwards would make a terrific AG. I think for the VP spot, Obama will go for someone older with military cred like Sen. Webb who together would steamroll over gramps McCain.
The only logical reason for Hillary to stay in the race is to raise enough money to break even on the 20 Million dollar debt she put herself in for her campaign.
Obama has effectively out raised, out inspired, and out classed the most widely known, well oiled political machine in modern politics. From relative obscurity and with the cards stacked against him, took on one of the most well known figures in the WORLD, and came out on top. I have without a doubt in my mind, Obama will win in November. And with possibly Richardson and Edwards in his cabinet, things will just get better for us all.
Darth Yoshi @ 362:
Florida will count in November when Obama loses it by 10 points. Delegates Shmelegates, the Real election is about electoral votes not delegates and Obama won't get nearly enough to win the election. He'll be lucky if he doesn't finish behind Nader.
cleo @ 361:
Burning straw men doesn't hide the many reasons progressives dislike Hillary.
Reasons like: WalMart; shameless liar (Bosnia sniper fire anyone?); pro-Iraq War; pro-Iran "obliteration"; running on experience when nepotism is her major qualification; "hard working white people"; claiming not to have read the NIE which she used to help send us to war; running a race-baiting campaign straight out of the elected Bush's play book; accusing anyone who disagrees of misogyny; Rupert Murdoch; Ann Coulter; Rush Limbaugh; Richard Mellon-Scaife; and on and on....
Oh well, there are many more reasons. But you claim to know nothing about any of this, so it must be because Hillary is in her 60's? Hmmmmm.
Obama is just too clumsy to beat McCain, that's why he sent out this mailer in Kentucky with a photo of him standing in front of a stained glass window featuring black Jesus. http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll30/EconGradStud/Barack.jpg
What better way to win back the white god fearin, gun totin, bitter vote than with a black Jesus stained glass window?
Stupid rookie.
Brazile did NOT say we didn't need Hispanics, white working class, etc., to win. She said we don't win SOLELY with those groups. Which is damn right. Especially since Dems haven't won a majority of the white male working class vote since Reagan. I certainly wouldn't put all my eggs in that demographic basket; it's a recipe for disaster. And just because Hillary can win a Democratic primary in a state doesn't mean she'll take it in the general. Same for Obama. And just because Obama lost a state doesn't mean he can't take it in the general, and same for Hillary. Does anyone seriously think, without smoking some really fantastic stuff, that California, for instance, is going to McCain just because Obama didn't win it???? Get real. And I'm sorry, but the FL and MI primary votes are not definitive. When people think something doesn't count, or names aren't on ballots and NOBODY'S SERIOUSLY CAMPAIGNED in these places, you can't say for certain if the outcome would have been the same with a genuine, unencumbered election. That's like setting up a talent contest for one day and then telling everyone it was going to be on a different day, yet deciding to have the contest with only the people who didn't get the message and showed up on the original day; it's not a true indicator of the talent pool available. And Hillary was just fine with the DNC decision until she figured she could make political hay out of it. Sorry. I'm not buying Hillary as the champion of the downtrodden Florida and Michigan voters. She has been citing various states and combinations of states time and time again during the campaign as basically "not counting" depending on what rationale she was embracing that week as her victory strategy. Like Dubya and his ever-changing smorgasbord of Iraqrevolving door of Iraq rationales
Racism or sexism? Which is uglier? Obama wasn't in the Senate when the vote to authorize Bush to proceed if the inspectors were not allowed into Iraq. Obama also didn't represent the state where the trade towers fell. Hillary hasn't been on the Walmart board since Sam Walton died. Back in those days, Walmart sold things that were made in America. Go ahead and boo! I am sure that you know a lot more than I do. True liberals don't like either Obama or Clinton, but we at least have manners.
Involved @ 346:
The Bush family will almost certainly go to Paraguay...or haven't you heard about the 900,000+ acre ranch that they've reportedly purchased down there (in cash, yet)? They certainly didn't buy the property for the beaches -- Paraguay is landlocked! It occurs to me that 900,000+ acres could be quite large enough to shelter at least a couple of their cohorts as well -- and at this point, nothing you can say will convince me that Bush would have bought the property unless he had confirmation beforehand that any effort to extradite him back to the United States from Paraguay would be met with resistance if not impeded outright. After all, why else do you think a lot of Nazi war criminals fled to South America in their attempts to escape justice? It wasn't just for the climate, that's for certain -- and as loath as I am to bring it up, hasn't Bush's grandfather been accused of supporting the Nazis? As far as I'm concerned, if Bush and/or members of his extended family are mysteriously compelled to take a sudden and extended trip to Paraguay in the days following the presidential election...that should be considered tantamount to a confession of guilt.
Not Edwards for VP. Not Edwards for VP. Not Edwards for VP. He is too soft. He will not "complete" Obama. He is too soft. Need someone stronger. Edwards could lose the election for Obama. Edwards does not bring into the fold anything Obama does not already have. Not Edwards for VP! Need someone tough with foreign policy experience. Wesley Clark perhaps.
Kucinich for VP. Edwards for AG.
Obama should consider Kucinich and Edwards for VP and AG, either one for either slot. HRC should replace Harry Reid.
Hello Albert...
Albert Gore!!??
truth be told @ 366:
Obama in front of a black Jesus, Oh my! I recall the book of Revelations describing Jesus as a man with hair of wool and feet of bronze.
If white God fearing, gun toting folks would rather remain poor and have their sons sent off to Iraq to die, so be it. I am tired of having to kiss their asses.
truth be told @ 364:
Hillary ran a great campaign and contrats to her, but the fat lady is singing. Hillary could not even run her campaign, how can she run a country? PA, OH, and states like WV will have to make a choice. Vote of Obama or McBush. If they like being poor and having their sons sent off to Iraq or Iran to die, vote for McBush. If you can accept the fact that Obama has a sun tan but can bring in bright, talented staff vote Obama.
Man, I missed the Hillary supporters vile bitterness all last night. Now Edwards doesn't matters. YOU PEOPLE ARE SUCH PATHETIC LOSERS! Aaahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Obama/Edwards '08.
Left&Left @ 376:
too bad left !you should have been here, youd have heard a bunch of your buddys for obama digging thier political graves and crying in thier beers, tsk tsk such wailing and beating of brests , youd have thought they were in an elavator on thier way to hell,
I don't know if any of you know about Grand Rapids, Michigan, but the venue alone speaks volumes about this endorsement. Grand Rapids is the second-largest city in Michigan, and is the Eastern point of Michigan's wedge-shaped "bible belt," with the Western end being Lake Michigan from Holland in the South to Muskegon in the North. The religious roots of this area run deep and wide and are dominated by the Christian Reformed Church. (This is an offshoot of the Dutch Reformed Church, one of the prime supporters of slavery.) If you don't know about the CRC, they are a strict, fundamentalist sect which exerts huge influence over its adherents. This area hasn't elected a Democrat to national office in modern times. I'd stake money that they would STILL vote for Bush. The endorsement, in this area, is truly a foray into the lion's den. I think it represents to the GOP that Dems intend to compete right on their own turf. The fact that there was such a large, enthusiastic crowd, in Grand freakin' Rapids, should be unsettling to the GOP.
Brilliant move.
AndyZ @ 28:
With you on this. I went down to South Carolina and worked hard for Edwards (his on the ground team in Charleston South Carolina was just awful) with the exception of Local gal Mimi and others from charleston and all of the volunteers from around the country. And by the way the Obama campaign was playing the race card in South Carolina (Bill Clinton was spot on).
Anyway Edwards is amazing and I do hope Obama makes him Attorney General.
I really did not want to support another white guy, but Edwards learned the lessons of his stupid 2002 war resolution vote. Hillary did not. I also really liked when he blasted Hillary on her yes vote on the Kyl Lieberman amendment. Although Edwards allowed Obama 's sitting on the fence on this amendment off the hook during that same debate
Watch Gravel hammer Hillary on her yes vote for the Kyl Lieberman amendment. This is where Edwards also hammers Hillary on her vote yet allows Obama to pass on his "fence sitting" on this amendment. Obama could have clearly demonstrated that he was anti unnecessary war by voting no on this amendment instead of being out of town that day
http://youtube.com/watch?v=npzN3dZR6JM&feature=related
More on the Kyl Lieberman amendment
http://youtube.com/watch?v=L_6CB-3qj8Y&watch_response
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTK6XY1tRzY
But the thing I admire most about Edwards was when he stated that there would be ABSOLUTELY NO LOBBYIST NO LOBBYIST in his administration.
Edwards was ignored by the MSM after his second place win in Iowa. Hell even Amy Goodman and Air America ignored his second place win. The MSM beat Edwards back by ignoring him. He was the best candidate by far.
WONDER WHEN OBAMA OR CLINTON WILL DEMONSTRATE THE "CHUTZPAH" TO SAY
NO LOBBYIST IN THEIR ADMINISTRATIONS. they have taken on all of Edwards other talking points why not this critical one!
Go Edwards hope to see you in Obama's administration! Along with General Wesley Clark
Edwards has always been disengenuous and weak ...
What a hypocrite ... does he actually expect us to believe his commitment to poverty, when in reality he flaunts his huge multi-kazillion dollar compound
(house) directly across the street from poor people ... not to mention his $400 hair cuts, which could feed a family of four for four weeks! Then he waits till Obama is way in the lead, before endorsing him. What weak character ... or, rather lack of character. I doubt his endorsement has any value ... and, anybody who values his endorsement, doesn't have any values.
Lee @ 380:
Wow. Any more Hannity talking points?
obamayeswecan @ 66:
misogyny much?
I'm on the O-Train as it steams mightily out of the station, waving out the window with both hands!! ALL ABOARD!! Toot-Toot!!!
Now will all the Obamaist who slammed Edwards a couple of weeks ago when the rumor had him backing Hillary Clinton NOW take back all the mean things they said/typed/blogged?
Obama has no concept of the decline of the nation-state and the rise of private power.
The global capitalist class can live with him.
They are really happy Edwards got booted.
edwards will become the ag
and he will make it his sworn duty to put cheney, rove and bush all behind bars
"he should not have committed the war crimes he is guilty of."
War crimes? Yea, sure.
uncle joe hussein mccarthy @ 36:
BET on it!!
Give it a rest, tyree - you and HRC should both learn to lose with a little dignity.
I'm glad he finally did it. Obama and Clinton have both run tough campaigns, each in their own ways. The contest between them has been invigorating for Democratic voter turnout and registration, but now that the math is so clearly not going Clinton's way, I think it's time to move on to working on the general election rather than the primaries. If Edward's endorsement can start a landslide of superdelegate endorsements of Obama, perhaps Clinton will cease from what has become a Quixotic attempt to win the nomination.
Blue Lensman @ 39:
sure the day obama gets swore in or clinton takes her hat back out of the race till then fo!
This is something I had hoped for since the New York primary. Mr. Edwards dropped out just before it went down, and I was very saddened by that. Now that he's officially endorsed Obama, I feel the vote I gave to Obama in the New York primary was the right thing to do.
tyree @ 34:
Wrong again tyree. Edwards had a lot of supporters here. We complained many times that the MSM weren't giving him any face time in the debates or the media.
Amazing speech by John! Very moving.
Buchanan just said that a Clinton victory in Kentucky will negate this.
Hahahahahahhahahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahhah
Wiping tears of laughter from my eyes.
hahahaha
Oh my.
Edward's backing is of significance, though the way I read it on CNN, they refer to it as though it were no big deal.
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/14/edwards.obama/index.html
Frankly, I want to see Edwards as VP, or at least as attorney general. To think, we could have two young, thoughtful, passionate people leading a country, actually chasing and prosecuting the bad guys and cleaning up this damned mess.
Speaking of VPs, the most solicited endorsement now would be by Al Gore...
louise @ 33:
You can say that again!
i'm soo excited to hear this...cause for celebration. i was always a supporter of both, but would have liked to see edwards on top...however i support obama just as stonrgly now. i would like to see obama/edwards...
Ron @ 43:
then you got took! and went where the news whores led you!
[Deleted. Don't tell our posters what to do-Sitemonitor]
Pundits will pooh pooh the endorsement (especially Edwards haters that couldn't get enough of haircut stories), but it's really important. It will unite many Edward supporters behind Obama. It won't make a big difference in the short term, but I think it will magnify later.
tyree @ 48:
WTF are you talking about? Pull your head out.
it is significant today due to Hillary's big win yesterday. If Edwards would have endorsed Obama when Obama was winning big it wouldn't have made any difference at all.
ReelBusy @ 23:
That sounds promising. Edwards was pushing Hillary's populism earlier, and can supply the kind of voter she was attracting.
The only drawback is his presence on the ticket didn't help Kerry.
nick @ 49:
say sonny what part of you dont own this blog site dont you understand? did i spell every thing to your satisfaction sonny?
tyree @ 48:
At least the Shakespearean fool is wise SOME of the time.
Just keep beating that dead horse. I'm sure it will get up eventually. Really.
MargeAggedon @ 55:
wtf you talking about? oh i get it !its a college joke isnt it?
ysbaddaden @ 53:
Yeah, but you're talking about Kerry.
i would love to see Edwards as the attonery general. He would make those mega corporations squirm.
Edwards said he wouldn't accept the VP nomination! But he'd make a damned good cabinet member--Attorney General, anyone?
I'm very pleased. I was an Edwards supporter and am glad he's committed to supporting Obama.
The way Hillary Clinton has run her campaign has made it very difficult for me to consider voting for her if Obama loses the nomination. Even though I really dislike her policies and positions, I dislike McCain even more. If I have to support her come November, I will.
I hope that those folks who jumped to her camp after Edwards pulled out of the race will now consider taking a second look at the candidate he thinks merits his endorsement.
And Edwards for AG? That'd be grand.
Edwards speaking live
Quote Hillary Clinton, May 14, 08:
"Anybody who has ever voted for me or voted for Barack has much more in common in terms of what we want to see happen in our country and in the world with the other than they do with John McCain," Clinton said on CNN's "The Situation Room."
"I'm going to work my heart out for whoever our nominee is. Obviously, I'm still hoping to be that nominee, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that anyone who supported me ... understands what a grave error it would be not to vote for Sen. Obama."
Lisa Williamson @ 24:
If anything, it'd show the unity of the party, especially if Obama could negotiate Clinton's blessing on the whole affair. I don't think Democratic politicians are nearly as divided against one another as their activists are...or at least, I hope they're not.
But whether or not internal party politics will allow for it to happen, I still think Clark would be the best pick for Obama's campaign.
tyree @ 34:
you are quite the whiner.
LMAO. This just gets better and better. Hillary is essentially being burned alive as the old ugly witch she is, and more and more people comes by to pour gasoline on her. I love it. Watching this pathetic women being bitch slapped and beaten by everyone is the most entertaining thing ever.
Haven't you all realized yet? Tyree is an Operation Chaos Repuke troll here impersonating a Clinton supporter. I may disagree with Clinton supporters, but only a dittohead would have such horrible typing skills. (this from the same people who's mantra is usually chanted as "This is America, speak english!" when they have such a feeble grasp on the language themselves.)
It's significant because I can quit calling him a spineless weasel...now, about that spineless weasel Al Gore, what to do, what to do.

Mr. Gore....Paging Mr. Gore.
VP Edwards is the first thought that comes to mind. It's a wonderful idea, and it gets Elizabeth too! How much better to have her on the team than to having Bill accompany Hillary on the ticket. Yeah Elizabeth. And Edwards will help with those very voters that Hillary has been claiming are hers, not Barack's.
Game over.
CoIntelPro against Repug DoucheBaggery @ 65:

Wes Clark would be a great choice. But Obama would need permission from Mommy (Hillary) and Daddy (Bill) first.

Edwards was my candidate before he left the race. Very sorry to see him go.

tyree @ 72:
Yes, lets all have a vote shall we? Who's the troll, me or tyree?
Or should I say, tyree!!!!!!!!!!!!! (You're right buddy, using several exclamation points definitely lends your argument more weight. Fucktard.)
CoIntelPro against Repug DoucheBaggery @ 77:
nor you a douchbaggery!
I was a strong Edwards supporter and when he dropped out I just couldn't get behind Clinton or Obama. Later I moved more into the Clinton camp because I just felt she would be more capable to handle to mechanics of government with the mess we will be left and because I really hated the vitriol from the msm and Obama supporters against her. No one can say she has not run a strong campaign and I still believe she is a good and decent person who wants to do good things for America.
I now believe it is over for her and even though I'm not a really big fan of Obama (mostly because his supporters have thoroughly pissed me off over time) I will vote for him in Nov. My hope now is that his supporters will show some graciousness toward her as John Edwards and Obama have done.
Go Democrats in Nov.!!!
The Man @ 17:
Very possibly true. I concur about the healthcare.
abarts @ 78:
i originally favored Kucinich, then Edwards. I give Edwards credit for waking Obama up and giving Obama a platform to run on. to his credit, Obama did not staff his operation with the insider sabateurs like Carville.
mrplow @ 80:
your treading on thin ice sonny so far ive held my temper out of respect to the site moniter but you keep flame baiting me and all bets are off!
Why won't MSNBC get rid of Pat Buchanan. I know it is good to hear all voices but he is nothing but a Republican shill. They need to get rid of that old fool.
Captain Hussein Kangaroo @ 45:
On Countdown right now Buchanan is going nuts about this. This is really funny.
tyree @ 81:
I know you are, but what am I?
mrplow @ 67:
Take it from someone who's been at C&L for a long time: tyree is NOT a troll. His train of thought might not be predictable much of the time, and he's not a great typist, but he's as sincere as it gets.
BTW This Obama victory is really ruining Madeline Albright's day. She was sure she was going to get her old job back.
orangehairboy @ 60:
he said (in private) that he'd consider the VP place, but would rather be AG.
Wow. Chris Matthews is smacking down Pat Buchanan on the topic of race in politics. Pretty good.

their cutting ties with Chalabi? why do they have ties with this criminal in the first place? Shouldn't our Pentagon officials be keeping an eye on the record of the people our military is working and cooporating with? Oh shit, I almost forgot that we're in Bushworld...nothing is as it should be! and nothing is as it seems!

wow! is that the best you got? whiney AND PATHETIC!
that's not working out well for you. is three too many syllables for you?
does anyone think that obama might pick the current gov of mo to be his running mate?
now there is one tuff lady
This is great news. Now Obama should go ahead and announce he wants Edwards as his running mate and they proceed as though Hillary Clinton doesn't exist.
Buchanan is correct (like it or not). Obama is desperately trying to counteract the whipping he got in West Virginia. Instead of getting out and meeting with the voters he needs to win over, he drags out Edwards in an attempt to gain cred. with 'working people'. IT WON'T WORK! Obama and Edwards are BOTH losers!

Andy K Jong Il @ 89:
I've read this site since 04. My posts are few and far between, but when I see a douche like him come on and accuse most of the posters on this of being Edwards-haters, I just have to say something. I read these pages religiously through this whole primary, and of the top three candidates at the time, most people on this site, being progressive, actually strongly supported Edwards and Obama. When Edwards dropped, Obama was clearly the favorite, he being more progressive than Clinton.
But to say everyone here are Edwards haters, and then to gleefully mock that lie, just tells me what type of person tyree is.
he's a douche trying to start a fight.
Edwards endorsement will be helpful in Kentucky.
Old Billy Hussein @ 29:
Keep chuggin' the Kool-Aid pal. When Tweety and PumpkinHaid take their Obama masks off and go: Wright, Rezko...Auchi! 24/7 you'll be howlin' at the moon at 'the unfairness of it all....' But....
Guess what....
Nobody will give a fuck.
CoIntelPro against Repug DoucheBaggery @ 105:
guess you didnt understand what the site moniter said get back on topic! its not that hard to understand sonny!
Myshiba @ 109:
wait...so obama has his hand up edwards ass and controls his every action?
if that were the case, then he woulda had edwards endorse him much earlier and had him running to places like wv and kentucky campaigning for him
the only loser here are the clintonistas
the clintons are dead....and good riddance to the both of them

I want to have a beer with John Edwards tonight.
It's funny how much I hate what HRC stands for, and still feel sorry for her at the same time. She needs to hurry up and support Obama so I can be happy for her again.
...And to be a positive role model for some of her followers, who have become genuinely hateful.
Dahgrostabphri @ 101:
he had contact with Iran before he became their tool against the opposition against the war. that means nothing.
mrplow @ 110:
