Wow..what an ego.

Obama doesn't get his endorsement because he didn't kiss his ass as much.

Who loves politics?

And just who is Edwards supposed to deliver to either candidate? His endorsement amounts to little more than the one by Richardson.

And, after all the perceived insults, why didn't Edwards endorse Hillary on the spot?

This explains why he didn't endorse Obama. What's the explanation why he didn't endorse Hilary?

Well, Edwards has 26 pledged delegates. Every little bit counts.

And, since we are talking healthcare, here is the latest from the hear no evil, see no evil department that Max's understudies continue to overlook:

Among the debts reported this month by Hillary Clinton's struggling presidential campaign, the $292,000 in unpaid health insurance premiums for her campaign staff stands out.

Blue Name

I can see why he didn't get it, but how exactly did he "blow it"?

That's too bad--maybe Obama blew a potential Edwards endorsement. It looks like Clinton did enough to keep Edwards neutral.

Still, Edwards' delegates in Iowa went to Obama.

Interesting that even though Obama pissed him off, he still won't endorse Hillary. That ought to indicate which way the wind is blowing.

Could it be that John Edwards knows he's part of the Democratic Trinity? The future saviors of the world, you know, Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards....What we've seen so far in this campaign, despite what the MSN would have us believe, is sniper fire between the campaigning camps. It's not been like the wholesale bombing of Cambodia, it's not been take no prisoners fighting.

Some days the two camps say nice things about each other, sometimes one of them will lob a little bigger rock over the fence....it's called campaigning, it's called politics. You can't win office by spending all your time talking about what a saint your opponent is. But neither Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. or Hillary Clinton have gone for the other's jugular vein. I still have hope for a Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton ticket. Paired with the announcement that John Edwards will be our next real live non-puppet Attorney General.......McCain could go ahead and check back into the rest home.....he'd be nothing but grumpy hamburger meat after election day.

The current Presidential campaign, which feels like it started back about 1957, hasn't been nasty. If you think it has been, you have a very short memory or you don't know what nasty is. Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. said day before yesterday it was unfair to ask Hillary Clinton to give up and go home early. Hillary said she didn't like Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.'s preacher friend, she didn't say she didn't like Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. Hillary and Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. act more like good natured rival bachelors on TV's old Dating Game than mortal enemies.

You see, we have a great and powerful evil and it's called the Republican Party. You can't kill it by shooting it in the foot. You can't beat it in November by sending out a single valiant warrior, it will take an army to defeat the RNC, Diebold, straight ticket Republican voters and the dirty tricks of those Republicans in office due to Rove's politicization of our system. If I know that then you can bet Hillary Clinton, Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. and John Edwards know that.

They'll not be an America if the neo-con Republicans get another 4 years to accomplish their evil mission. If I know that then you can bet Hillary Clinton, Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. and John Edwards know that. Alone the neo-con Stealth Bombers will pick off the female, playing on the fear far too many dinosaurs have of a woman in public office. Standing alone, the neo-con Stealth Bombers will destroy the black candidate, because though we've packaged it all nice nice, America still has too many closet racists. If I know that then you can bet Hillary Clinton, Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. and John Edwards know that.

The Democratic Trinity is our only sure bet that change will come next year. This November is not a time for Rove's magic 51% margin of victory.....we need to bury the Republicans as punishment for them letting Cheney & Bush blot the formerly good name of America. We can't pussy-foot around this time...we must bury the Republican Party, throw some shit in the hole and see if corn will sprout next year.

Though it worked out swimmingly in the Bible, this November isn't the time to send a David into battle with Goliath. David got a lucky shot.....it will take an army to beat the Republican Goliath and our best bet is sending in the team of Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. with John Edwards in the tail-gunner's seat. Gathering up the voters who support those 3 people would form the army that no one could come close to beating, not even with Rove's Stealth Bombers. Unite! Unite Unite Unite!, and we'll have 4 to 16 years to restore our country and prepare for the next onslaught from the party of Joe McCarthy-Nixon-Bush & Cheney. Unite!

Edwards is irrelevant. He only has a handful of delegates and he can't control them. He can release them and they can still vote however they want.

He's further irrelevant whenever you consider what he brings to the table in a real election. He was brought onto Kerry's ticket because he could, in theory, help Kerry in the South. Instead, Kerry lost the entire South and got owned in North Carolina.

Also, like someone else said, if Hillary did so well with Edwards and Obama did so badly, why didn't Edwards endorse her on the spot?

Edwards doesn't have enough support to matter. In most of the early states his delegates have already either gone over Obama (Iowa) or stayed with him so he'll have a few at the convention. But he doesn't have enough delegates or appeal to help anyone. The fact that Obama didn't kiss Edwards' ass and didn't promise him something like the AG spot in exchange for an endorsement makes me more impressed with Obama.

And if Hillary was sooooooooooooo impressive why didn't Edwards endorse her?

Nobody wants to endorse the eventual loser. Edwards is silent because he wants to be a power broker at the convention. Or perhaps he is waiting to see if Obama offers him the VP slot. He's not going out on a limb for Hillary, when the odds are that Obama is the nominee.

Don't expect Edwards as VP since he was on the losing Kerry ticket last go round. That alone is the biggest disqualification for him. Is it going to be so close that Edwards paltry few delegates will make the difference? Probably not.

I was glad that presidential political news was more about the issues and each candidate's plans than about what the attack machines are drumming up. If there is a big negative regarding the attack machines it is the fact they distract voters from issues and ideas. The media talking heads and pundits are like sharks smelling blood in the water. They go into a frenzy over any "bad" news. They'll soon replace lawyers on the bottom end of the social ladder.
