CNN

Edwards is completley right. Obama will never say word one against this ad because he will reap the benefit of it and the damage it does.

Of course if this ad were smearing him he would be screaming loudly and crying dirty politics over it.

Obama doesn't care about doing the right thing, he only cares about doing what is right for himself.

Edwards shows his leadership on this subject.Because right is right and wrong is wrong.It shows just how much Washington is out of touch with the American people,and reminds us of why Mr. Edwards is the only one in the Dem. party that can win in the general election come Nov.The Republicans would eat Clinton and Obama alive for this on the national stage,and people need to start thinking about this before they vote.

I dont really like Edwards but hes 100% correct

Obama speaks out against alot of wrongs in politics, BUT WHAT DOES HE DO?

He claims not to negative campaign, yet you see the ads

He claims not to take money from Pacs and special interest, He Does, youtube it

He claims to be a "champion" of voters rights. He is ignoring Floridas vote and took his name off the Michigan ballot (Truth, he tried in Florida, its against the law).

I know everybody thinks Hillary was pulling some political manuever by leaving her name on the ballot in MI. Actually its the other 2, Hillary took bad press in Iowa and NH by leaving her name on the ballot. Obama decided to take his name off his neighboring state, denying them the opportunity to voice their opinion. After failing to do the same in Florida his campaign has said Floridas Vote is of NO IMPORTANCE TO THEM.

Obama took 18 months to reach the floor of the Senate to protest the war (the crux of his 2004 speech)

Edwards has moved up to my number 2 choice behind Hillary, He takes stands on the issues important to him

I am no longer for an Obama/Edwards ticket.
I think it would be better to have a man and a woman in the white house......

Obama/Pelosi '08

Anyone But Clinton!

is why I don't like Obama.... he contradicts everything that he
says... (here is the true flip flopper)...

Throughout the speech he bashes the Clintons, he bashes them in
respect to Regan... He says he wants to unite the parties... but
bashing one of the favorite democrats and praising republicans.....
ummm ok?

Then after bashing them he says I hate negative campaigns... yeah.... ok....

He is no different than all of the other candidates... though he
believes that he is above them...

Change...what change has he been recorded on.. where is the evidence
of this change...I would really like to actually hear his ideas... not
who he thinks that he resembles... he has almost exactly the same
platforms as the other democrats.. I don't see the change..?

EVERY
candidate in the democratic party wants CHANGE. I want a candidate
that is for action...not beliefs...dreams.... DREAMS will not help us
out of the crises in the economy, Iraq, terrorism, education, taxes,
energy, environment and other major topics. It is actually looking
over bills, discussing, being organized and strong about your
opinions... not having an aid have to "keep track of you".... or give
you papers "two seconds before you need them"....

Obama is a candidate of fashion, more like the iPhone, than he is like
those men. He is a candidate for affluent and trendy dilettantes
rather than for those who are suffering and ignored by those in power.
Hilary actually bridges the gap between the powerful and those who are
struggling. Her life has been a movement. She has shown courage. That
is why she won in New Hampshire.

If you look at the legislation that was voted on while he has been in
office.... he rarely votes yes/ or no... what are his opinions? I have
no idea.. I understand that he does not want to look controversial in
the public eye... "God's gift to the American people" but do something
for the American People. Who cares if you are controversial.. vote
first before others in the party do.... Popularity is a joke.. this
isn't high school.. you don't have to be at the cool table... haha. I
hate people who jump on the band wagon... and that is what he is. Too
Green to have opinions of his own... or even know what they are. Sure
he is smart... law is a great thing to have under your belt.. but it
can't be the only thing.

I am beginning to feel as though I would not be able to vote for Barrack. As a registered Democrat, I have been thinking that I will vote for our nominee, regardless of which candidate it is. I could accept any of the 3 top three.

However, Barrack is coming across as very arrogant to me lately. I'm not sure that I want this type of arrogance in my president. I've lived with the same arrogance coming from GW all these years. I prefer someone that is tough and intelligent and not so full of themselves.

Edward is criticising his Boss? C'mon Edward, do what is right. Just focus on your campaign.

The Democratic field is a joke.

Obama has been in the senate for 2-3 years with few accomplishments and has spent most of his time as a senator running for President all of 07.

Hillary is trying to use her husband to get elected... She too has few accomplishments as a senator and has the audacity to say she has 30 years experience. She has more scandal than anybody else. i.e, campaign finance laws broke with Hsu in the Lincoln bedroom just to name one.

Edwards is nothing but a rich lawyer.

John Edwards speaks of a divisive ad by Obama supporters yet his attack rhetoric is just as divisive. Instead of attacking Obama supporter ads, spend your time convincing me why I should vote for you, not why I shouldn't vote for the other guy.

You politicians will never get it!

Barack needs John as his VP, without him there's NO WAY he's gonna get 270.
MARK MY WORDS. So, actually, nicknas is the other way around.
Omaba / Edwards '08

"John Edwards was criticized by Obama in Iowa for not calling an independent group that supported the former North Carolina senator to demand they pull ads they were running in support of his candidacy."

So, in other words, Edwards is criticizing Obama for acting in the same exact manner with these independent groups as he did. Edwards said that he had no control over an independent-run ad supporting him, even though his former presidential campaign manager was the person behind it. Does Obama not get the same excuse?

In any event, there's no way the Obama campaign doesn't jump on this issue. The Teachers' Union, which supports Hillary, was attempting to disenfranchise thousands of union voters. The provision which allows members of the Culinary Workers' Union to vote in caucuses in the casinos is intended to ensure they don't get fired for merely expressing their right to vote.

The decision to allow them to caucus in casinos was made many months ago, and the Teachers' Union waited until 2 days after the Culinary Workers endorsed Obama to take issue with this. The voting will be taking place on SATURDAY, and Nevada's teachers will not be working. They should have no problem voting for Hillary tomorrow, unless they for some reason find their conscience.

Their lawsuit was a clear attempt to disenfranchise voters. This is not what the Democratic Party stands for. And if John Edwards is as committed to the lower class as he says he is, he really should be lambasting Hillary's attempt to prevent the lower class from voting. Pro-Union, born-in the mills John Edwards should really be fighting against the "status quo."

The Republican party is supposed to be the party that counts on the suppression of minority voters. I'm sadly disappointed that any member of the Democratic party would try to engage in this type of political maneuvering.

Why are all of you people blinded by a speech. When Obama puts an American Flag Pin on his lapel and says the pledge of allegiance to our flag, I might consider him as a worthy candidate. Right now he is a man who does not consider our flag worth being loyal too.

It's Edwards that needs to speak up and say something of substance instead of picking at other people. Why is he speaking up for Hillary of a sudden? Shame on him for attacking a good man like Obama.
Vote Obama '08

You Obama supporters who can't admit that Edwards is right here are only foolin yourselves. WAKE UP! The rest of us Democrats still have open arms for you.

LOL, "Obama refuses to stand tall as a man and take responsibility for anything he does." Can't the same be said for Hillary? how many people in her camp have to be fired or step down or have their statements explained before we are allowed to question the atmosphere she creates that makes this an option in there camp?

I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR YOU AND YOUR WIFE. I HOPE YOU DO NOT GET CAUGHT UP IN THE MUD DRAGGING LIKE HILARY. RESPECT, THE OTHER PERSON BECAUSE IT REALLY TURNS PEOPLE OFF. WE WISH YOU
LUCK IN S. C. AND NEVADA.

Clintons did it to themselves when they tried to take away those folks ability to vote..I didn't see Edwards complaining about the lawsuit.

Let's get real... Edwards is once again "auditioning" for Veep... after Obama won the Iowa caucuses he dumped on Mrs. Clinton. Now that Mrs. Clinton has won in NH, he is dumping on Obama... let's see what he does as the primaries and caucuses proceed...

And what about his attack on Obama when Obama was reflecting on what made Ronald Reagan a force for conservative change in America?

As campaigns go, they have all stayed away from the real down and out nasty that Republicans do so well... Remember Papa Bush's Willy Horton ads and Dubbya's Swift boat attacks on a real war hero, Kerry and for that matter the S.C. attack by Dubbya's folks accusing McCain of fathering a Black child because he adopted one... Hey all this is peanuts compared to the guys who really know how to dish out political S....

He does seem to be opposing Obama more and more. And he even mentioned "attacking Senator Clinton." I wonder what the deal is between Clinton and Edwards. After that debate in NH where Edwards smacked her around, they seemed to be playing nice the other night in Vegas. Maybe Edwards wants VP after all?

Its alright Mrs Clinton, and Mr Edwards, the American people are pretty smart. We have the ability to see through Obamas hidden Agenda. I do agree that this kind of campaigning really turns me off. I Want to know what a candidate is going to do for my country. I don't get thet information when candidates are slandering one another. Their are several questions the American people want answered I can't ask them, if I do, they won't publish my comments. Just know that the American people are smarter then politicians give us credit for.

LOL, "Obama refuses to stand tall as a man and take responsibility for anything he does." Can't the same be said for Hillary? how many people in her camp have to be fired or step down or have their statements explained before we are allowed to question the atmosphere she creates that makes this an option in there camp?

Hillary campaign made an attempt to stop casino workers from caucausing and failed. I don't see anything wrong in pointing that out. She made her decisions to file a lawsuit against what her party agreed to, and she should bear the consequences. If the shoes were to be on the other side, edward and clinton would have done what obama is doing. Anybody that says otherwise is not being honest!

Edward looks like a desperate little midget in a crowd of 7" people.

What a bunch of bull from the biggest hypocrit in the race on either side. Next debate, why don't you lead all the candidates in a round of "Kumbaya" John. Then we can all have the "I love you" version of politics. Aaaaaaarrrrrggggh !

Obama has always been a traitor to the democratic party.
He ignores party loyalists by auctioning party values to so-called independants and republicans.
He seemed to have forgotton that this is democratic primary.
This is about selecting a candidate who represent party values.
He can appeal to the middle in a general election.
Before that he needs get the nomination.
He's so full of it, and thinks he's better than rest of the democrats.
He insults democrats saying they are dividers.
No one better divides party than Obama.
How can he unite the country by dividing his own party?

I am more convinced to support John Edwards. To the person who complained that Edwards "doesn't have anything nice to say" about America. We are heading into a recession and millions of Americans are losing their homes. We are bogged down in an illegal war that costs $12 billion month. George Bush has cost us all respect of other nations around the world, and yet is no closer to capturing Bin Laden than ever. Maybe you just don't like hearing the truth.

I happen to prefer the truth over the lies the other party spews, and Edwards is becoming the only Democrat who isn't whitewashing it. He HAS been talking about what he wants to do about it. Just visit his website why don't you?

The media are playing favorites and deliberately not reporting on Edwards. Don't forget Democrats he is the only candidate who beats all Republicans in a head to head vote! Please support Edwards. Please spread the word, and quickly!

Careful Edwards...... Your ONLY chance to be part of History is to be Obamas VP. Don't Blow it. You are just an Also Ran who hasn't figured it out yet.

Great work, Edwards!!! Obama's hair-splitting, double standards crap has to stop. We Americans are so lucky that the primary/caucus process is lengthy. It takes a while to realize that a great speech-giver is just that...a great speech-giver. Sure Obama has done more than give great speeches, but not enough more, not yet...he is so green, and we are realizing that more and more. At least I am.

Thumbs Way Up, Edwards!!!

And Joe, I, too, was leaning towards Obama a while back, but I got completely fed up with his arrogance and his...as you say...holier than thou bull.

Isn't Obama the guy who said he didn't want a divisive, attack-filled campaign? What happened to his "message" of optimism and unity?

Maybe now that he has tried to aligned himself with Reagan, maybe he feels like he must further embrace the more typical slice-n-dice republican campaign style to get the cross-over votes.

What do all of you here say now, after you climbed on the bandwagon and declared Obama was the better candidiate because he called for a truce with Clinton first (not really but that's the way the media played it)? Where's that golden glow you were all imaging around his head now?

It makes lots of sense for each candidate to call the other on mistatements of the facts. I've lost faith in the truthfulness of our current government and if Democrats don't play it straight in 2008, there's nowhere else to go. Thank you Senator Edwards.

What is John Edwards trying to portray?

That he backed the suit brought by personal supporters of Hillary Clinton?

I thought he was a fighter for the people?

He didn't denounce the 527 group that was misrepresenting Obama. Why is he now becoming so indignant over the rights that were almost lost to the pooer caucaus voters?

And this last sentence in the article is a pruposeful misrepresentation of the timeline:
"The Clinton campaign has expressed frustration with the fact that the spots are continuing to run, even though a judge ruled against the suit."

The judge ruled against the suit that the Clinton supporters of the Teachers Union filed. THEN the radio ads began.

It doesn't matter because now the teachers in the Teachers Union are mad that the executives brought this suit without the full concensus of the body.

She may very well lose the independent teachers vote.

Obama's double standard exposed. Now Obama supporters start bashing edwards because he is saying the same thing that clinton is saying all along.

John Edwards is come see, come saw.

He needs to pick a side and stick with it.

He 's trying to grasp at anything at this point to pull out a win.

Think of it: If John Edwards can relegate obama to a third place finish in iowa, it would make his John Edwards candidacy more viable. Ergo the attacks on Obama.

GO OBAMA!!!

suddenly obama lost his wings and halo around his head is fading. He is just everyday politician.

So if another orginization attacks your opponent, you're supposed to appologize and condone it?
-(she deserves it anyways for trying to take away voters' rights by that lawsuit)

I didn't see the Clinton campaign condone or even appologize when the leader of the Black Entertainment TV attacked Obama on teenage drug use.
-(which to me is a harsher personal attack)

Hey Edwards, does this sound familiar to what your 527s did in Iowa?

I abs. agree with Emily! I was not too fond of Edwards before this, but he took a stand when he didnt have to and I think that took a lot of courage...Its about time Obama practice what he preached...I hope thats not how he would run this country..say one, very idealistic thing, and never act on it!
This is why I support Hillary, experience, a record of hard work and ACTION!

Wow. Go Edwards. This is what Edwards had to do long time. Obama is playing a Saint upfront and hypocrit behind closed doors. John Edwards need to attack Obama hypocrisy especially when it comes to Yucca Mountian and his endorsers. I think this strategy can help Edwards because Obama is taking away his votes but it maybe too late. Edwards is more pro union than Obama who voted against so many Union positions.

Edwards and Clinton get a taste of their own medicine, and they -just now- decided that it doesn't taste good? I don't think so.

At least the ad is truthful. The Clintons were obviously behind the lawsuit. The same plaintiffs in the suit were Clinton supporters who had NO problem with the sites when they were on the site selection committee back in March.

Clinton IS shameless. Her mailers against Obama are BLATANTLY false (suggesting Obama is pro-life?! suggesting Obama is in favor of Yucca Mountain?!).

Barack please take notice. This add needs to end now. Please make it happen. I support you but I don't like this! Hillary will implode all on her own.

"The Clinton campaign has expressed frustration with the fact that the spots are continuing to run, even though a judge ruled against the suit. "

It was the Clintons want to disinfranchise the Union Voters......Does the Voters have the right to know this since it was so close to the Nevada Caucus–Dam right the Union must inform the Nevada people....Your not going to get it both ways with some cost for your action.

Edwards can't get elected by attacking others when they do"wrong" as this is not a test of which candidate least wrongs the other. The best time to bring this up is during the debates when Obama can answer it outright. I am for Obama and Edwards needs to stop the whining!

Senator Obama is proving to be quite a hypocrite. I'm glad to see John Edwards call him on it.

Oh yeah, when Edwards says anything about Clinton you make him Obama's running mate and praise him. Now because he takes on Obama, Edwards needs to be blamed. Some of you.. are you stupid or paid to make these remarks? What can any rational human being be so 'in love' with this Obama comedian who transformed the Democratic race into a joke? If he is on his own, he is a jerk. If he is an extension of Republicans, those people have class because they succeeded to divert the attention from real issues in the Democratic camp.

Ask Alice Palmer of Chicago how he treats his female competitors. She learned about Obama's hooey-speak the hard way. I hope Edwards keeps pointing out this hypocricy, and I hope someone soon points out that the candidate of "change" has basically recycled advisors from the Clinton presidency to advise him on matters international and otherwise. I love Edwards but think he has no chance at all of getting anything done. If we are going to get Clinton advisors, I'd rather stick with the original Clinton to try to work with them. With what's going on in the economy, it's too dangerous a time to vote for Mr All Vision No Action.

John Edwards rarely talks about issues of substance. John Edwards has a populist message of "TWO AMERICAS, THE RICH AND THE POOR". But what Edwards supporters don't fully appreciate is that John Edwards is rich. In fact John Edwards is the second richest candidate in the presidential race for both Democrats and Republicans. He has stated net worth of $55 million. All this talk of being the son of a poor mill worker when he has been a multi-millionare for years and lives in a 28,000 ft mansion is troubling for me. Edwards has a wife who has an incurable form of cancer and chooses to waste time and money running for president again instead of spending quality time with his wife and kids.

Edwards' one-term senator record is riddled with major problems. A lot of the major issues in this campaign that have come up Edwards voted yes to (i.e. Bankruptcy Reform Bill, Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Dump, War in Iraq, No Child Left Behind and Trade Agreement with China to name a few). He has since said he is very sorry for voting for those bill. Okay i'm a forgiving guy, but not for continuous bad judgement!

This whole stink about the independent ad issue is just a smoke screen. When Obama criticized Edwards for a 527 group running ads in Iowa, Obama had justification. The guy who led that 527 group was John Edwards's 2004 presidential campaign manager. The union running ads in Nevada is not a 527 group and Obama just recently received that union's endorsement.

If Edwards truly wants media attention, he should just drop of the race!

OBAMA in '08!

Correction, Edwards previous campaign mgr.

I am absolutley astounded at the media's lack of attention on this race issue. Only last week, all of the media, including CNN, were gasping and commenting on the injenction of race into the Democratic presidential race. And, now, when it comes to Latinos, the lights are out at CNN. Where is Anderson Cooper? Where is Wolf Blitzer? Where is the broad coverage on this issue? Where is the condemnation of Sen. Obama? Is this the "change" that we can all believe in? Is this the message of hope that he grandstands upon at his events? With silence from Sen. Obama and CNN on this issue, what does this say about the respect for Latinos? In all the roundtable discussions and political analysis from the experts on CNN, have you noticed not one Latino voice in the mix. What does this say?

It's funny that the Obama fans just can't admit their candidate is a politician like every other candidate and will do what it takes to win. It's a shameful ad, but that's politics. Obama like Bush, claims he's going to unite the country, but it seems to me, he's dividing the democrats. If you can't unite you're own party, then you can't unite the country. Come on Obama, step up and do what's right. I know if this was Clinton or Edwards running this ad, Obama supporters would losing their minds

This ad has been running for two days and yet still Obama hasn't said a word.

Ahh, the politics of having it both ways.

Edward's need to tell the american people what he will do. And stop trying to attack Obama.

OBAMA 08

Give me a break! Edwards is such a hypocrite, he has apologized for almost all of his Senate votes and now he wants to say what Barack should do. Barack called him on the ads in Iowa because Edwards campaign manager and dear friend was the head of the 527 running the ad and EDWARDS SAID THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO! Because the law doesn't allow him to influence the 527.

People get the whole story before commenting.

Johnny didn't stop the 527 special interest groups from lying on his behalf against Obama in NH...

Hey Johnny are you still sorry about your votes for
The Iraq War
Bankruptcy Bill
Yucca Mountain.
U.S.-China Relations Act of 2000
The Patriot Act

Some of your supporters can't remember when you were Mr. DLC conservative in 2004.. I do. Now which John Edwards will we get Mr. Conservative or Mr. Progressive.. One thing is for sure we always know that Edwards is sorry…

John Edwards has the right to call candidates out for double speak as they would have the right to call him on it.

"This is why Edwards doesn't get nor deserve more media attention. What has he been saying of any substance"

Obviously this statement reflects the views of an individual who has not followed the campaigns from the start. It was last spring/summer when Edwards and the media criticised Obama for his health care plan that was a rip off of the plan put forth by Edwards. One big interesting difference between Edwards and the rest. When he was in the Senate he didn't cast "present" votes on contriversal topics. Edwards cast his vote and accepted responsibility for bad decisions. Too bad so many other Presidential wanna be's hide or manipulate/change votes for political advantage. The fact that the MSM is ignoring Edwards is just a continuation of their selectiveness and failure at true journalism. Had the media played their part in the 2000 election pushing the draft issue, drug use, financial irresponsibility in manging 5 companies that went broke only to be bailed out by the Saudi's Bush would never have been elected.

I'm sure the ads from Obama were not the keynote of this rally John Edwards was speaking at. Curious–what excerpts are chosen. I'm sure he derided Hillary for her PAC donations–and unclear agenda of the other two candidates on resolving healthcare, and economic issues. Somehow...this would hit the newspapers.

OK

So what. This is politics as usual. Every campaign has groups and individuals who may support them–but not be under their control. Just look at the mess going on in S.C. with the GOP candidates.

It's getting ugly.

I was voting for Hillary up till now-but I really like what Edwards has to say. I am getting so freaking sick of this face slapping between Obama and Clinton. It is getting way to old for me-this latest advertisement of Obama ripping Hillary Clinton a new one, right after he was on stage a few days ago playing nice with Edwards and Clinton. Obama is a sneaky, self-rightous, inexperienced politician who in my opinion is acting like a child–GROW UP.
EDWARDS 2008.

Agree 100 percent!!! And as far as the guy who says this is the only way he can get media attention..by attacking..well, you know wut???

WHATEVER IT TAKES!!!!!

Does that ring bell to the ole neocons??

GO JOHNNY GO!!!!!!

I think Obama was "invoking" Reagan's name, hoping some of that "mystique" would be associated with Obama himself. Obama has to realize that Reagan came to the whitehouse after consequtive terms as Governor, in a huge populous region like California, unlike the "lack of experience" that Obama brings to the table and touts as a virtue.

Why blame Obama for spinning the lack of experience as a virtue, when everybody seems to be lapping it up. Based on his past background, his period in the Illinois senate and the US senate were a period where nothing of any significance took place with Obama as the driver of ANYTHING significant. Absolutely zero. Luckily for him, his past background and experience (or lack thereof) has been given a complete free pass by the press.

Good that Edwards is now trying to throw some light on the double-speak from the holier-than-thou platitudes that typically issue from Obama's mouth.

Joe, please spare us. You were going to vote for Obama but now you're not? Sure!

We can all see that you are and always have been an Edwards fan. That is OK, I think Edwards is a great guy, but don't take us for stupid in believing that you are actually switching from Obama to Edwards.

By the way, you don't need to attack Obama to try to make Edwards look good.

What Sen. Obama said makes perfect sense. Even if you don't like the kind of change Reagan brought to the US there is no denying he brought change, and that's what Obama is pointing out. Obama has an ability to analyze contributions (good and bad) of our nation's leaders and to synthesize the best components when he discusses his vision for the future. (Even Bill Clinton occassionally "borrowed" what worked for Republicans when he thought it could help achieve a desired outcome.) But most important, Obama has the wisdom to look at recent US history in its totality and not through an exclusively Democratic party lens. It is why many independents and even some Republicans find Obama an attractive candidate.

Hey joe:

You are so correct! Obama is only a politician (not a leader of a "change" movement) and a bumbling one at that. I cannot believe he is now praising Reagan. I hope people are paying attention to this. Reagan decimated our social programs and ruined the tax code for the middleclass . Supply side economics failed!!!

You know, Obama is so likable, he is reminding me of what people said about George W when he ran for President in 2000 and 2004.

Hey CJ,

Mr. "Hope" has been cribbing off of Edwards' ideas and platform. Does that make him a Debbie Downer too?

In a news conference Deanna Favre announced she will be the starting QB for the Packers this coming Sunday. Deanna asserts that she is qualified to be starting QB because she has spent the past 16 years married to Brett while he played QB for the Packers. During this period of time she became familiar with the definition of a corner blitz, and is now completely comfortable with other terminology of the Packers offense. A survey of Packers fans shows that 50% of those polled supported the move.

Does this sounds idiotic and unbelievable to you? Well, Hillary Clinton makes the same claims as to why she is qualified to be President and 50% of democrats polled agreed. She has never run a City, County, or State.

When told Hillary Clinton has experience because she has 8 years in the white
house, Dick Morris stated, “So has the pastry chef”.

Obama '08

No to the Hill-Bill-ies...

Hillary/Edwards ticket sounds good......Barak will make a great Secretary of State...His office does not have to be very organized and he can praise Regan all he wants then......

When John's position is shaky, he is supporting Hillary. In NH he was ganging up with Obama to diss Hillary. And clearly, Obama is showing his real teeth. He is not that nice guy anymore!

CNN, where is the news about Obama's preacher commenting about Bill Clinton? Lou Dobbs discussed about it on his show yesterday..! But I don't see it anywhere on your site. What's going on? Are you really a 'Fair Media'??

I can't believe Edwards would want to suck up to Hillary.

The third party support for both Edwards and Hillary are intended for the individual political/economic gains of those parties like the 527's and stuff...There was no infringement on their rights.

This is totally different than what the Union members are doing. Hillary was trying to deny them the right to vote...this is a matter of constitutional rights. So yes, these workers are bashing Hillary for trying to take away that right of them and they have every reason to do so.

This phony woman can't go around trying to police everyone and expect not to be criticized by people!

Both Edwards and Hillary lied in the recent Vegas debates about their weakness and strength and they expect us to listen to them..

Wait did Edwards cry for media attention to start baselessly attacking people? If he doesn't win Nevada or SC, he's getting no more attention...I say so!

I'm beginning to think that Edwards is much more honest than Obama....and with a more progressive agenda. Remind me again what is it that Obama is changing.....

If Obama can't take what Edwards and Clinton are dishing out, he certainly can't take what the repubs are going to dish out. Edwards is calling Obama out, just like Obama tried to call Edwards out. Get over it CJ. The world isn't pie and ice cream I want a president that knows we are screwed, the dow is plummeting and the housing market in shambles. We need a leader! We need John Edwards!

First attack Hillary then you get no traction, then the media, now Obama. Get over yourself John and drop out of the race. This is a season of change and you are not it. You are the Status Quo.

Get a backbone

Finally,
Obama is showing what politics of change are about.
So much for antiestablishment.

Well, Senator Edwards makes a very good point on the matter. How can Barack Obama SAY he denounces them, but do NOTHING when the time comes when he is put to the choice of denouncing it or not.

If Obama can't denounce an simple Advertisement when he said he would, what promises would he keep if he got elected? He has made false promises everywhere on the campaign trail with his rhetoric of change and how he will change America. Please, he hasn't even bothered to change his stance and denounce the ADs.

The being said, Senator Edwards has been the only candidate to stand FIRM behind what he says about being against such divisive politics which are tearing not only the Democratic party up, but all of America.

If Barack Obama won't stand behind what he says now, he won't do it if he gets elected, and he wont even try.

JOHN EDWARDS 08!

Oh it is hilarious to hear the Obama supporters going after John Edwards. They were estatic when Edwards was going after Clinton, but now that the shoe is on the other foot they whine like little babies. Obama's free pass is nearly up.

Whatever... Edwards is a hypocrite and this is a TWO PERSON race.

Too funny! When Edwards was siding with Obama, you were all for an Obama/Edwards ticket. Now all of a sudden that he is calling the guy on the rug for his weak behavior, you are thinking he wants to be on Clinton's ticket.

I may be pro-Hillary, but I admire Edwards more and more.

And still Obama refuses to stand tall as a man and take responsibility for anything he does.

Oh stop- in order to end divisive politics we have to enable the people of America to vote- the stunt pulled by the Culinary Union was in the most egregious sense of the word, undemocratic- not to mention the actions of Bill Clinton in the aftermath suggesting that the suit was trying to prevent votes on the strip for counting 5xs as much (which they don’t, these votes only account for 6% of NV delegates)- enough is enough.

The fact remains that the suit would have succeeded to disenfranchise voters based on a realization that occurred 6 days before the primaries…2 days after the Culinary Union backed Obama- lets face facts folks, this move and the Clinton's support of it goes against everything that America hopes to become- a place where EVERY vote is counted. So get off your high horse Edwards- Kerry lost in 2004 because of voter disenfranchisement…and yet you remain naive-
Obama’s the only candidate, other then Kucinich, who has addressed this issue going so far as to draft a bill on the issue- Obama's the candidate of the future- my future, I'm 20 years old and I'm sick of watching the America that I believe in get trampled on and manipulated for political gain.

Nevada for Obama- go out and caucus tomorrow with a vengeance- go show them the power that comes from people inspired to participate.

I'm an Obama supporter, but I've got to agree with Johnny boy on this one. Barack needs to condemn this ad. It's already out there and the damage has been done to Sen Clinton. By remaining silent, he is leaving himself open to justified charges of hypocrisy. Further, by denouncing the ad, he will only enhance his reputation of being above negative politics.

I agree with John. He and Sen. Clinton accepted Obama's truce offer and have been running a clean campaign. Now Obama, who vowed to come down hard on his supporters if he found out they were engaging in dirty politicking, is encouraging in that very thing by not denouncing ads sponsored by his supporters even though he knows the ads are patently untrue. Goes to show, nothing is too low for him. He'll do anything and say anything to get elected. He knows he can't win on his record or experience. Guess we should cut him some slack. He's desperate.

It seems the only thing Edwards has done is attack Obama and Clinton. He keeps trying to get himself in the middle of things. I am glad he did this though because it further confirms my vote for Obama.

I think that Barack Obama only says what he thinks will get a good response and after that he does not care. If people look at what Obama has done, he would not even get 5% of the votes. This election is all about race and well know names and has nothing to do with the American people.

Hillary tried to take away their ability to vote…I'd be upset too. That was another dumb move by her. First the MLK comment and now this. What is she thinking??
I guess Obama is twisting the lawsuit now. Come on. I don't remeber Edwards speaking out against the lawsuit to take away folks ability to vote.

I am not an Obama supporter, but an independent. Edwards wants to eat his cake and have it. What happened to the 527 ads in Iowa. Why didn't Edwards respond to Obama's call to denounce such ads then. And even after the truce pledge.,Clinton began attacking Obama on his management style the very next day (Negative Politics). I watched that debat in Nevada, while Obama and Edwards tried to cordially respond to questions without attacking, Clinton was poised to attack. Edwards admitted his mistakes, Clinton never did. What Ego. But this is straight up ridiculous. How hiprocritical from Edwards and Clinton to complain.

funny when it was edwards turn he didn't denounce the ads in new hampshire...and wait clinton actual sent out negative and false mailers on obama's abortion records....moreover this is not divisive politics....it's a question of free speech...they are not lying about anything, they are merely saying what they think is HRC's evident attitude towards their people. There is nothing for him to speak up for..

Listen, as long as the Clinton's keep up their political low blows the other two candidates are left to choose between letting it happen or Figting back. Billary is the problem. Remember Edwards getting snappy in the debate with her? I do....he was defending himself to her passive agressive remarks.

Edwards is right on this one. I'll be surprised if Obama doesn't ask them to pull the ad. It would be hypocritical not to, and that type of behavior should be reserved for Hillary.

Just where is Senator "I'm not a divider, I'm a uniter and a changer?" Oddly silent. I would expect so much more leadership from someone who's positioned himself as such a healer and conciliator, someone who will bring together the country. Oh, but that's right, Obama is the guy who voted present more than 120 times while in the State Legislator (now that's leadership) and this is the guy that voted for Dick Cheney's energy bill (now that takes spine) while also taking money from Exelon, which has pushed hard for new subsidies for nuclear power plants and got their wish in the 2005 Energy Bill with 29 new plants planned. And this is the guy that flat out denied that his NH Campaign Chairman was a lobbyist when it was true (now that was honest). And this is the guy that voted against lobbyists by passing a bill that made it illegal to eat sitting down with a lobbyist, but you can still host cocktail parties and receptions with them (now that was bucking the special interests.) Let's really find out what this guy is all about before rushing to the altar.

Even Edwards finally sees that Obama is a liar!!!!

I DO SUPPORT OBAMA, BUT IF HE REALLY STILL NEEDS PEOPLE TRUST There are CERTAIN THINGS IT SHOULD NOT ALLOW. I AM NOT AMERICAN, BUT I LIVE IN US, AS CONSEQUENCE, I FEEL LIKE I HAVE THE MORAL RESPONSABILY TO WISH THE BEST FOR AMERICA, this STARTS BY HOPING FOR THE BEST LEADER THIS COUNTRY CAN GET. For this particular moment, i think this leader is Barack Obama. But the more the time passes, the more John Edwards convinces me, even though i still didn't digest his non opposition to tthis horrible war. May be i just have to convince myself that We, humans we make mistakes resulting from the mediocre judgment of our poor vison of conception. I hope Barack will denounce this ads

This is just another example of Obama's double standards.

Call him OUT, John Edwards. He's been given a free pass for far too long!!! Regardless of the MEDIA's efforts to try to portray this as a 2-person race, THERE ARE THREE FRONT RUNNERS and they should each be held accountable for the things they say.

BTW, any candidate who makes a statement like this has full support...all the way to OUR White House!!!

“He should speak up, if he really means what he says, and this is not just talk, he should speak up and denounce this type of divisive politics.”

I'm so proud to support you, John Edwards. Go get 'em!!! Go Johnny GO!!!!!

Edward is running to be running mate of sen.Hillary Clinton.Congrats in gen.election you and your boss Hillary will be defeated

well - go edwards! i am liking this guy more and more. i was voting for obama - but i just can't stand the holier than though bull - when "united" basically means he's going to attack and divide the same way any other candidate running does....he is no different and is not looking like much of a change these days.

especially referring to "reagan" as being an agent of change - wow - i think you just crossed the party lines a bit too far dude. and the misogyny and clinton attacks are out of control. i am taking another look at edwards.....

This is why Edwards doesn't get nor deserve more media attention. What has he been saying of any substance? The past two "newsworthy" moves he's made have been attacking Obama for his ads and criticizing Obama for, heaven forbid, acknowledging something positive in *gasp* a Republican. The truth is Edwards has been the epitomy of Debbie Downer this whole campaign. Obama has been a candidate of hope. Edwards can't find anything nice to say about the country, and his negativity has started to swallow up his whole campaign. Edwards, if you want more coverage, start talking substance instead of lobbing useless attacks.

So a Union buys an ad to back their endorsed candidate and it's divisive?

AGAIN, this isn't a disguised 527 group, It's a Union. I don't know about this one.

Should Senator Obama say something? Maybe (strong maybe) he should. BUT, I think Edwards may be reaching on this one a little bit.

I like Edwards too and still believe an Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama ticket would be amazing.

Obama will get hammerd for this and the Reagan comment too.

The ad did not say Hillary was shameless it said 'Shame on you..."

Obama should not have to apologize since he was not the one that paid for or approved the ad.

Obama '08

Hillary tried to take away their ability to vote...I'd be upset too. That was another dumb move by her. First the MLK comment and now this. What is she thinking??
I guess Obama is twisting the lawsuit now. Come on. I don't remeber Edwards speaking out against the lawsuit to take away folks ability to vote.

Ur not doing well in the race so you attack the nice, likable guy, wow. What a great country

This weasel is slicker than Slick Willie.....

obama is a sneaky dirty politician .he played the race card and plyed ads in spanish through 3rd party when he was against it in iowa and he was never 100%against war and he compares himself to ronald reagan so who is he i thought he was gonna bring change but he is also reffering to history .shame on u mr obama

Now things are heating up.

I agree with Edwards. Obama needs to ask his supporters to pull the add and encourage them to vote for him in another more positive way.

And with that Edwards stops running for Vice President and decides he wants to be President again.

get over it, edwards.

John Edwards has the vision and passion to be the leader to fight for middle class America!

He can unite the party and the nation, and is the most electable of the top three Democratic candidates!

Edwards/Richardson in 2008!

Edwards need to w ithdraw just as the democratic party has asked him time and time again.

Edwards will not win presidency people. He has nothing to offer and is very dull. very dull with his 400.00 haircut.
