DrDNA Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 I pondered exactly the same thing when I heard it on the radio as I drove to work. I really am torn 50/50. It will be interesting to see what opinion others here and elsewhere have.
CDarwin Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 I think it hurts Edwards more than it helps or hurts anyone else.
DrDNA Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 While looking for information on this, I stumbled accross the following and thought it was hillarious......I'll even admit that it took a few moments to figure out the deal.... Obama Declines Kerry Endorsement by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace (2008-01-10) — Sen. Barack Obama today declined the endorsement of Sen. John Kerry, saying his presidential campaign is about “hope and change”, and he doesn’t want to “send mixed messages.” Sticking with his new stump speech refrain, Sen. Obama said, “They told us you can’t run a presidential campaign without kissing up to every Democrat who ever rode this donkey to defeat. But I say, yes…yes we can.” “They told us you can’t diss a former presidential candidate who’s a professional Vietnam war veteran,” he added, “But I say yes…yes we can.” An unnamed spokesman for the Obama campaign said the endorsement rejection is not necessarily permanent. “If we get to the convention and our campaign needs a little extra shove to put us over the top,” the Obama aide said, “then we might ask Sen. Kerry to…you know…do it.” http://www.scrappleface.com/?p=2851

Yup, it was a slap across Edwards' face. Payback for not taking NC in '04.
iNow Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Obama/Edwards... That's a ticket I'll vote for. Who cares who others support? I know who I support. Anybody see Chuck Norris behind Hucabee after he won Iowa? http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=147115&title=iowa-caucus-recap
Pangloss Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Huckabee telling Chuck Norris jokes was about the funniest thing I've seen in politics in years -- for about ten minutes. Damn him for ruining a perfectly good comedy routine!
