Sens. Clinton and Obama, and former Sen. Edwards before the CNN Democratic debate in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Sens. Clinton and Obama, and former Sen. Edwards before the CNN Democratic debate in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

(CNN) — CNN has learned that former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards met with Hillary Clinton Thursday in North Carolina, and is meeting with Barack Obama Monday, to discuss a possible primary endorsement.

The Thursday meeting, which took place at Edwards’ home in Chapel Hill, was followed by a Saturday night session during which the former North Carolina senator and several longtime advisers discussed many issues, including which candidate he should endorse.

The Obama campaign is enjoying a weekend of positive news, after winning four contests in Louisiana, Washington, Nebraska, and Maine. An endorsement by Edwards would provide additional momentum going into the next round of primaries.

At a Chapel Hill party yesterday for Edwards supporters, he gave no indication who he might endorse, or whether that endorsement is imminent. Some advisers are encouraging him not to endorse.

The former candidate is weighing a number of considerations before making his choice – including electability, and who will best promote his ideas.

There are policy considerations at play: there is a sense within the Edwards camp that Clinton's policies could be better for working class Americans. But Obama's anti-lobbyist proposals are more aligned with Edwards’ politics.

In response to a CNN report that Elizabeth Edwards may favor Obama over Clinton, sources close to the Edwards family flatly deny that she favors one candidate over the other.

Edwards was my choice for President from the start. When he suspended his candidacy I decided on Hillary . I believe she is better qualified than Obama on many levels. Her health care position is more in agreement with Edwards , her work for the poor in this country is also par with Edwards. Obama has the establishment backing him up. The media initially ignored Edwards, forcing him to step down, the media is now ignoring Hillary hoping she'll do the same. Mr. Edwards, please endorse Hillary, do not let big business win. I hope Mr. Gore will also do the same.

Lola   February 11th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Barack is winning the admiration across the board, because has America's health insurance companies money and best interest at hand and heart.

I'LL VOTE FOR HILLLARY!!!

Damian   February 11th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

Looks like Edwards will endorse Obama.
Which is unfortunate, as Hillary is supported by the poor folks.
She is much more in line with Edwards on social economic issues!
And if Edwards has any credibility left (and is not just making a play for Vice),
he will Endorse Hillary!

Hillary 08!

Cincinnati Slim   February 11th, 2008 11:51 am ET

Every poll indicates that an Obama/Edwards ticket would beat McCain...Clinton/Edwards would be a toss-up !

Both Edwards and Obama will be able to carry some Red/"Fly-over" states which Hillary could not . This is essential if the Dems are to win the Whitehouse !

McCain vs. Clinton is too close to call. Crooked local Republican boards of elections (like Ohio's Ken Blackwell....) could still throw the election to the Republicans if the electoral map looks like the last two presidential elections !

Winning heartland/Red/"fly-over" states is the essential to Democratic victory...

Whose had Enough   February 11th, 2008 11:44 am ET

John Edwards could beat McCain....can Obama?

Sen. Obama better enjoy the weekend. While he''s an excellent and charismatic speaker at campaign events.....he will have a tough time delivering the "youth" vote to the polls should he get the Dem nomination.

He will be subjected to attacks in the general election that will make the 2004 "swift-boating" of John Kerry look like childs play.

John Kerry would be President today had Diddy delivered with MTV''s "Vote or Die" in 2004. They stayed home on election day.

Lani   February 11th, 2008 11:37 am ET

The problem with dems is that we are still living in the past with this Iraq war. No one cares anymore about who voted for. People are more concerned with domestic issues like heathcare, the economy, immigration and social security. This is where the dems are failing we are electing a guy who is more foreign policy and less domestic. We are voting for someone because they are a good person with hope and not a good president. This will be our downfall in Nov. Remember that Hillary and McCain are much stronger on domestic issues. Foreign policy is one piece of the puzzle and both Hillary and McCain will be stronger on those issues as well. Dems should use reason when they vote and not vote with our heart. The heart is a very dangerous thing to make a decision with. Think about when you are in love. And you're in love with someone who is a good person (nice guy) not a good partner (doesn't have a job, doesn't know how to manage money etc.). You still keep going back to that person even though your head tells you this person would not be good marriage material. Yet you go ahead with your heart and wind up in a miserabe marriage. This is the same thing that is happening right now right with the Dems. We are not thinking rationally about who can actually solve our problems. We are only concerned with who is a good person and gives us hope. And we aren't being logical and reasonable about who can solve our problems. Dems you should be reasonable. Vote with your head always. Would you allow a doctor with no experience and lack of a concrete plan to operate on you even though they are a good person? No! Then why would you vote for someone to fix the country who has no experience and no substance to run our country!! We have problems in this country that are unreal. Foreign policy is the least our of worries because again Dems are living in the past about that. We are voting for someone because they were against the war. But the war started 6 years ago. We should no longer be focused on this. In reality it will take us many years and at least a few presidencies before we are fully out of Iraq and considering the reconstruction costs. We may be sorry if we pit Obama up against McCain. McCain will easily win out especially when it comes to issues that matter like domestic issues and even foreign policy. People will vote with their heads in the general election. But you know I guess Dems have not learned their lesson since McGovern, Carter and Bush

claw714   February 11th, 2008 11:32 am ET

i think it dosn't matter who he endorses, or who even wins the democratic nomination. I think that most TRUE democrats won't have much of an issue on which of the two come out with that nomination. Both candidates are for uniting the democratic vote, unlike the circus McCain is serving up with the Republicans.

j   February 11th, 2008 11:26 am ET

John Edwards is doing the right thing right now and hopefully support Obama. –We need to get as far away from intrenched Washington poltitcal insiders as we can.-– No more "Yalies" and Skull and Bones` elite a_ _ hole buddies.

Tony   February 11th, 2008 10:55 am ET

Edwards was my favorite democrat from the start. Now, I hope hr will endorse Obama. Maybe Edwards could be Obama's Viise president!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LKB   February 11th, 2008 10:48 am ET

I like Hillary, but feel that at this crossroads, we need someone with a new vision and a leader not part of the "old school" Washington system- Barak Obama!!

S.B. Stein E.B. NJ   February 11th, 2008 10:41 am ET

I would think that Edwards would be more inclinded to endorse Obama given most of the time that agree on policy issues. I would like to see that endorsement. I don't think it will happen anytime soon.

As for Edwards being a V.P. selection, it is a possible idea. I doubt hat he would take it now. Someone had previously mentioned attorney general for Edwards; that would be a good possiblity. If he was selected as a possible person to fill an open Supreme Court slot, I could see that as well.

Get real   February 11th, 2008 10:37 am ET

Chico,

You didn't read or follow news enough apparently when Clinton was president. You over estimate how good things were, just because of the economy, which was NOT his doing. Repeat after me.. NOT his doing. It all happened under the first Republican majority in 50 years, as did this surplus Dems take credit for all the time. Clintons= scandal and disgrace. Vote McCain.

Lionel   February 11th, 2008 10:27 am ET

I hope that John Edwards would see what I honestly think; that the Republicans are licking their chops if Barak Obama is the Democratic candidate. They will come out in force, and it will be another 8 years of the Republica Party.

ChicoSez   February 11th, 2008 9:55 am ET

Linking Bush and Clinton is like linking Cain and Abel. or saying day follows night means that night and day are the same. Get Real, under the first Clinton Administration we had eight years of peace and prosperity but most Obama backer are too young to remember how it really was, so they parrot right wing big media lies about bad things were. The 90's were great. If peace and prosperity is returning to the past I'm all for it. So keep trashing the Clintons and even if Obama gets the nomination, there won't be party left to support him. Theres always the green party.

Mike   February 11th, 2008 9:50 am ET

Edwards is nothing but a political opportunist.For all his talk about poverty being the cause of his life, he's done nothing to help poor people in North Carolina.

Steven Grumman   February 11th, 2008 9:40 am ET

I think he should endorse Obama.

Edwards is not one of the "old school" politicos. He has introduced fresh, intelligent ideas – contrary with what traditional politicians like Hillary offer.

And, living in the Philippines, I've seen what damage a vengeful, female president can do. And this is the last thing America needs, having just barely survived 8 years of misrule by an idiot.

Tiffany   February 11th, 2008 9:40 am ET

Is this the US Presidency or a royal dynasty?

4 yrs Bush
8 yrs Clinton
8 yrs Bush
...STOP!!!!

These 2 families have torn this nation apart for 20 years already.
Let's get a new perspective going.
Let's get somebody who doesn't have an agenda in continuing the bipartisan bickering.
Let's get some CHANGE!

OBAMA '08
Yes We Can!

Max   February 11th, 2008 9:32 am ET

We did our part. We the people voted. If there's a split and the superdelegates have to actually do something, such as conduct decision making votes, what's wrong with that? OTherwise, can someone please explain why else there are superdelegates? Is the name "super" just because of their elected position (e.g. senator, governor, etc.)? No, superdelegates are ALSO elected officials entrusted with making decisions for our country and if it does come down to a so-called brokered deal, so what? Superdelegates are, at the end of the day, independent of a nominee–they can switch affiliation. Let them do their job in this extenuating circumstance or else, get rid of them and make them be pledged to a nominee like the unsuperdelegates.

Lorenzo   February 11th, 2008 9:05 am ET

Between the Clintons and the Bushes, we more closely resemble an oligarchy style of government than a constitutional democracy. Obama-Edwards... yes we can!

Paula   February 11th, 2008 9:00 am ET

People! Hillary takes money from lobbyist. Does that mean anything to you? When politicians take money from lobbyists, they are obligated to entertain the interests of the lobbyists not the American people.

Be smart, think things through before voting for her. Besides, this election WiILL go to John McCain if she is elected.

My husband is in Iraq. Who are most of the service members hoping for? OBAMA

jd   February 11th, 2008 8:56 am ET

OBAMA/EDWARDS 08!

ttj   February 11th, 2008 8:49 am ET

It's true that they don't need him. They can muck around in the gutter on their own account. All these people that are pleading for Edwards' endorsement on behalf of their candidates should get a life! They ripped off his ideas and now he is supposed to endorse them? Give me a break! Democratic voters get what they deserve from the poor choices they make. Go Obama! Go Hillary! Go get lost!!

Liz   February 11th, 2008 8:30 am ET

John Edwards please endorse Obama! Hillary Clinton may have some good ideas but she will not be able to get anything done. The Republicans hate her and will never work with her. Obama can bring the parties together to get the things done that this country needs! Hillary brings to much "baggage to the white house. Go Obama!!!!!!!!!

STEVEN   February 11th, 2008 8:28 am ET

John Edwards nor the super delegates should be able to determine the outcome of the Democratic nominee. The PEOPLE of the United States are the voters. Michigan and Florida votes should be counted and since Clinton won they should go to her. No revote as some of the newspeople who are so biased towards Obama want–If those two states get a revote–all states should get a revote after the Rezko/Resko indictment. As a registered Democrat, I will vote Republican in the General Election if it comes down to the super delegates or John Edwards.

BH   February 11th, 2008 8:27 am ET

He should endorse the one who offers him a VP position ( if he still has a dream to help Americans )

MIKKI ROBERTS   February 11th, 2008 8:23 am ET

MY EARLY VOTE WENT TO EDWARDS, IF HE ENDORSES OBAMA, AND OBAMA WINS, I WILL HAVE TO REVERT BACK TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. MY VOTE NOW IS FOR HILLARY

Jerry   February 11th, 2008 2:49 am ET

I couldn't think of anything more sensible than an Obama/Edwards ticket for the general election. Thus, looking at the already struggling Clinton campaign, an endorsement for Barack Obama would come at just the right time. Admitted, it might achieve a lot when issued just before Ohio and Texas, but a couple of really significant victories in the next couple of days will do the same if not give Obama even more momentum. Looking at all the alternatives out there, there just aren't any if the country truly wants a break from what happened in Washington over the last 20 years.

ObamaDrone   February 11th, 2008 2:45 am ET

He should definitely endorse Obama. No one else can be trusted. We must all drink the kool-aid together.

David, Seattle, Independent   February 11th, 2008 2:37 am ET

Hillary's universal healthcare plan is unrealistic. You can't take one of the most profitable industries in the country with tens of thousands of employees and dispose of it. At least Obama is willing to work with the industry in order to get people covered. It's realistic and it's a step in the right direction.

Starchild, San Francisco, CA   February 11th, 2008 2:04 am ET

John Edwards made millions of dollars as a trial lawyer suing doctors in unjustified medical malpractice suits, driving up the cost of malpractice insurance and consequently making health care more expensive for everyone.

It would be highly ironic if he ended up being part of a ticket headed by someone promising to promote affordable health care.

Heather   February 11th, 2008 2:00 am ET

I think suggesting Edwards take VP under Obama is an insult. You are asking a seasoned US Senator to take the back seat to a single term US Senator that has spent 2 of the 3 years he has been in the Senate campaigning for President.

If you have really researched and understand the candidates proposed policies you would know Clinton and Edwards are and have been more in line. The biggie being the plan for actual Universal health care.

In the last debate Edwards attended he very clearly asked Obama to explain why his health care plan leaves 15 million people out and why as a US Senator he only voted present on 136 votes. This is huge.

Clinton takes heat for making a decision based on the information she had and her vote. At least she takes a stand and does not play it safe to try and avoid having to be held accountable for her vote. If the options are Yes, No or Present and you do not agree with some language in a proposed bill then vote No. Voting Present was nothing more than trying to save face.

John Edwards is a great man and would best serve this country as Attorney General to continue his great work for equality.

Hillary is clearly the best candidate to stand in the General Election against McCain. How can a person with less than 3 years of US Senate experience going to beat McCain? NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. The Republican are going to chew Obama and spit him out.

HILLARY is the best candidate for the job.

YES WE WILL, HILLARY!

Larry   February 11th, 2008 1:57 am ET

If we want real change in Washington, Edwards (I supported him before switching over to Obama) should give his support to Obama. They have more in common and want to same...REAL CHANGE in Washington.

I believe an Edwards/Obama ticket would be a great for America.

Although I have no problem with having a woman as President (it is time for a change in America), I just believe that Hillary's close connection to and contributions from Corporate America will inhibit her ability to take on the K Street lobbyists and also to take on the Corporations who have a chokehold on democracy that we are experiencing at this time.

KRF   February 11th, 2008 1:57 am ET

I hope Edwards keeps out of this until the convention. I would hope he, as well as the political pundits who have been wrong so many times this year, would give the rest of the country a chance to think for themselves. I'm tired of seeing this constant drum beat for all things Obama. I desperately want to see a Democrat back in the White House, but not this candidate, not this time. He may be pretty and speak a lovely tune, but he's got NO experience to back his image. Not the kind of know-how that is absolutely essential at this point in time. To me, Obama is just the Democratic version of candidate Bush in 2000. Appealing, likeable, but a neophyte. I'm not willing to see another person go into office with a slim resume and expect to learn ON THE FLY how to do the most important, most incredibly complicated job in our country. No matter who the VP is, no matter who the Cabinet will be, the president makes the final decisions, so that individual better have the wisdom and the seasoned insight to decide the fates of all of us and future generations. I just don't have any confidence that Obama is that person. If he gets the nomination, I will be forced to vote for McCain because, even though he's a Republican, he's had the knock-downs, the challenges, the set backs–that Obama hasn't experienced yet–and he's come back every time.

NORMAN   February 11th, 2008 1:56 am ET

YOU KNOW WHAT???

CNN IS GUILTY OF POLL TRENDING AND MIND CONDITIONING!!!

THEIR STATS AND NEWS ARE SKEWED IN FAVOR OF THE GUY!!!

JOURNALISM IS SUPPOSED TO BE NON PARTISAN AND OBJECTIVE!!!

TO CNN WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND!!!

KARMA CNN, KARMA MARKED THIS WORD – KARMA!!!

GO REPUBLICANS!!!

Gil - California   February 11th, 2008 1:13 am ET

"if Clinton were a caucasian male we wouldn't be having these discussions?"

Give me a break, if Clinton were a caucasian male, she wouldn't be leaning on Bill's presidency and would hardly be named Clinton, now would she?

Isaac   February 11th, 2008 1:12 am ET

2 hours in moderation for a pro-Hillary commentary? Come on guys...

Virginia voter   February 11th, 2008 1:12 am ET

Mary, do you think Hillary would be fighting for you if she had lost both states??? She didn't fight for your votes before the primary did she? Do you really think she would care about your votes is she had a large enough lead in the delegate race to beat Obama without them? Didn't hear her say a word until things stared getting tight. I do think that all voters should be heard, but the delegates were stripped before the primaries started. That was the time to protest. Do you really think it's fair to change the rules after the fact? You should petition to have your state party leaders replaced. They're the ones that screwed you, not the candidates.

Esther   February 11th, 2008 1:12 am ET

The Democrat nomination NEVER GOING TO FINISH if Florida and Michigan vote will be count ! I am Florida Voter and I am feeling very up set about what decision the party will be do about it and have to ve ASAP!
In another hand dear friends I am convence that the Republican Party has been succesfull voting as independents in the Democrat primaries in all center states tradicionally Republicans! They are supporting as independents voter Obama candidate and also with money if you see the astronomic contribution received by him recently.
John Edwards decision in this point will be important and as a woman voter I will be evaluate his decision.
Don't forget that Florida is one of the major state with big electoral vote: 27 and since now our vote NOT COUNT..... NOT WILL BE COUNT on November 4, 2008!

GO HILLARY, VIVA HILLARY!!!!

CK   February 11th, 2008 1:07 am ET

Do you want to help working Americans or change lobbyist policy? lobbyists will always be in washington, but lets help the working Americans voice ACTUALLY be heard. Edwards please, endorse Clinton, she is the right person to run this country. Senator Clinton has proven herself and will help the people who really make this country run (working Americans) survive and live better!

Paul   February 11th, 2008 1:07 am ET

Hillary is more in keeping with Edward's message. I would hope and certainly do expect that he is not the type to jump on a cult-like bandwagon in favor of an ill-prepared, if change-embracing candidate. Clinton-Edwards, now THERE'S ticket that would crush the GOP come November. And by the way, don't discount Hillary quite yet – I know Obama hasn't.

HILLARY 08!

Tinatruong   February 11th, 2008 1:05 am ET

America's economy is so bad at the moment. You need to choose a candidate to wake up economy (find solutions ...) better than a person just talk change but change what ( from rich to poor, from black to white hehehe) Very funny.
Hillary Clinton is a lady who can find solutions for America's econmy and listen to the people's voice.....
Vote for her now,

Gil - California   February 11th, 2008 1:04 am ET

Obama/Edwards 08/12

Kash79   February 11th, 2008 1:02 am ET

This has nothing to do with Edwards Endorsement, but am I the only one who thinks CNN coverage stinks.

I think if FOX is a propaganda news- CNN has become noise. Especially- the biased coverage of Democratic primaries is a final nail in the coffin.

Blitzer reports everything as if its the end of the world, dobbs well he is well documented freak- Ironically, Cooper in vain phrases reporting to make it look unbiased.

Ironically, even after all these years, Larry King is the only tolerable show. At least he brings guests from all spectrums which eventually balances out.

CNN is a reflection of the demise of broadcast journalism in this country.

John   February 11th, 2008 1:02 am ET

Well now that Obama's swept the weekend and will most likely do so next week, I'm betting on another sit down and cry session with Hillary. "I just want to do the best thing for my countrym," well in that case you should've voted against the war in Iraq, where hundreds of good men and women have died because if ignorant egotistical views like yours.

504LA   February 11th, 2008 12:41 am ET

To Darrell, it's the other way around. She has brought specific issues with specific solutions. I've only heard him echo her issues, but falls short of specific solutions on his ownl.

jay mo   February 10th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

obama/edwards 08!

hal   February 10th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

I remember last fall whenever Edwards or any other Democratic candidate criticized Hillary (for taking PAC money for example), her campaign invariably fired back a response with this annoying formula: "John Edwards is trying to redirect attention away from his failed campaign and the fact that his message has not been well-received by the voters, as can be seen from any number of polls. Senator Clinton is demonstrating her leadership...". I guess after this weekend, the Clinton camp will have to come up with a less stereotyped response.

Ryan Rogerson   February 10th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

Obama/Edwards would be a combo that could change the country and bring our good standing back to the world stage.

Ms T.   February 10th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

Stop it.
Now you Hillary supporters know that from the beginnig Edwards had more in common with Obama and still does. Edwards should and needs to join with Obama. I don't think that Edwards should side with Hillary just because more poor people lean toward her. If this were to occur this would really be a poor excuse in my book and I am poor as well. I think that some poor people side with Hillary because of her husband but if they did the research they will find that during the 1990's more poor people were imprisioned, the welfare reform forced more poor moms to go to work for sub-minimum wage jobs and the daycare/babysitters raised the poor children and lets not forget the poor 800,000 to 1,000,000 Rwandans who died while the world watched.

Obama/Edwards 08

Molly   February 10th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Senator Edwards, remember that in your debate you called H.C. the status quo. You said you wanted change and you stood with Obama after Iowa, now stand with us again, so we CHANGE America.

mary   February 10th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

I am from Michigan and I voted in the democratic primary and my vote doesn't count!! That is wrong!! I am an American too! It's not the fault of the Michigan and Florida voters that the states screwed up, but apparently we are taken the fall for it. So, now I don't have a say on who will be our President. If Obama feels that the super delegates should vote for the people's choice then he should feel that the Michigan and Florida residents should have their voice heard too. But, he won't fight for us because Hillary won both states!!, he won't be fair. I WANT MY VOTE TO COUNT1

Ben   February 10th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

I do not understand how any American in their right mind can expect Edwards to endorse Hillary. She carries more baggage than a freight train, is ill tempered, profane and despite all the rhetoric will allow Bill to be co president. She has flip flopped more than Kerry and lied at every turn. Is SHE the person we want representing us in this ever more dangerous world?.

S.C.   February 10th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

Come on Edwards! Endorse Obama!!!!!! I think a Obama-Edwards ticket sounds good to me! YES WE CAN! Remeber Edwards, Obama doesn't take money from lobbyists.

ben of NC   February 10th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

yes Edward can!

Tlc   February 10th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

Senator Obama is leading in the popular vote. He is leading in the delegates, aside from the supers. If Senator Edwards honestly cares about the will of the people he will endorse Senator Obama.

Chris   February 10th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

please endorse obama he inspires us the most and thats the most important thing we need because without inspiration and a nation behind you idc how much experience you have your not going to change this country and obama is the only one who has that much support

Aillyn   February 10th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

It won't make sense if he endorses Hillary. Edwards has much more in common with Obama. A lot of their views are the same. His views oppose too much with Hillary. Even the unions that were endorsing Edwards are now endorsing Obama, plus Kerry who ran with Edwards in the last election is endorsing Obama. For Edwards to endorse Hillary would make no sense at all.

Ito, Yokosuka Japan   February 10th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

Obama/Edwards sounds a whole heck of a lot better than Obama/HRC (give me the willies just writing it).

Robert, Kentucky   February 10th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Good for Edwards. I hope he is doing well. Obama/Edwards ticket in 2008!

Henry   February 10th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Obama – Edwards will be a winning ticket!!!! Please endorse him. Dont fall to the constant deceptions of the Clinton Machine.

jer   February 10th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

I think Edwards does not want to muddy up the waters by interjecting his endorsement until one of them has the tidal wave of momentum. Personally a lot of people are hoping he gets into either of their administrations in some manner of labor, attorney general, or vice president. I agree that after Tuesday if Barrack wins everything Edwards may endorse him. He has stayed out as a favor to Hillary to see if she could regain momentum. If she wins Virginia he may endorse Hillary.

MB   February 10th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

Obama / Edwards '08!

yns   February 10th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

I am a former Edwards supporter and I support Hillary Clinton. Edwards had much substance to his campaign. I was so sad when he suspended his campaign!

Hillary has substance in her campain! That is why I am with her now. She has answers to the tough questions. I believe that she should be our next president of the USA.

Not all of Edwards' supporters have gone to Obama. I have not and will not!

Maybe it would be better if he does not endorse at all!

Let's all take a look at the candidates and make up our own minds. It would also help if the media quit interfering and would report the facts instead of their own biased opinions!

john may   February 10th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

as a Canadian it may not politically correct to make any comment on the U.S. politrical scene. – However the fact is that what happens south of the border has a profound effect on us Canadians.
Therefore if Billary Clinton wins the Democratic we will have a personal day of mourning and if Mr Barack Obama wins we will have a personal day of celebration
- if not lobby for a national holiday.

On the other side.If John McCain wins we will run for cover... just as we did when it seems that Barry Goldwater might get elected

James   February 10th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

Great. Can not wait for Attorney General John Edwards in an Obama administration. As for Gore, I hope he throws his endorsement in for Obama this week as well.

TR   February 10th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

Hillary's campaing is funded by lobbyist, if he endorses her his bragging rights about not being affiliated with lobbyist would go flying out of the window!

He should just stay neutral and left the voters decide for themselves. Hillary already has enough help.

PS: Whatever happened to Clinton Machine??!~

Zach   February 10th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

Obama/Edwards 08, that is a great tag-team. Edwards shares the same views as Obama so he should endorse him. Hillary doesnt care about the people, she wants the win and only the win, thats why she only goes for the "large" states while Obama goes everywhere, just as Edwards would be doing. Obama '08

Steven Furtado, Kunkletown PA   February 10th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

As much as I like Obama, lets not count Edwards out just yet. This time next year, we might just be calling him Vice-President Edwards. :-)

stephan hall   February 10th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

Edwards should endorse Obama. Whether or not he will be on his ticket for vp remains to be seen but its clear by the way americans have voted so far that Obama is the way too go. Clearly the Clintons are played out and hopefully america will see this and make the right choice.
Obama is a special kind of person thats got the chance to make a real difference in the world with his fresh ideas and policies.
Obama 08!!!

BW, GA   February 10th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

Yes Edwards – pls support Obama. Obama/Edwards '08 is the ticket to The White House.

Ashley, Detroit   February 10th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Obama/Edwards 08!!!!

abdul   February 10th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

I can't believe a word Hillary says. It sounds and looks unauthentic, even when she cries at the most opportune times (pre-new hampshire primary). She has a political stink you can't wash.

BDT   February 10th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Obama\Edwards 08 a winning ticket for change and respect for U.S.

Hillary   February 10th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

It doesn't matter who he endorses. Obama's train will be leaving the station Tuesday after the Chesapeake primaries. Whoever refuses to jump in will be left out.

Geo.W   February 10th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

Senator Edawards, Please Don't pull a Kerry.He wanted Gerhart,and did not
endorse You.Don't do the same.
Be a WOMANIST like your wife.Endorse Hillary R Clinton who will get the changes ,you and all of us want.Not a Rookie 2 year Senator.You Can't TRUST.
I know you'll do the Right Thing.
Thank You
Always GW (former Union organizer) & Vet

douglasdao   February 10th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

In this type of political meeting, you meet with the person you are saying "no" to first, i.e. – Hillary. Edwards is meeting tomorrow with Obama, to whom he will say "yes."

Anonymous   February 10th, 2008 7:12 pm ET

Senator Edwards, please make the right decision and support Hilary.
She is the only candidate that is working hard for the American people
and her policy on the congressional health insurance is long overdue.
I think that she is right to enforce health insurance on the american people.
Isn't this the same idea as having mandatory car insurance? Many people with
Substantial insurance are broke when a family member is diagnosed with a
terminal illness. This is caused by the millions of uninsured Americans who goes
to the emergency room and are unable to pay. The people with insurance are paying
for it as a result, but when you get sick then the insurance company drops you. America is the leading country of the world but its people are in so much trouble.
Even a country such as Taiwan provides health insurance to all its people. Are we not better than taiwan? Obama is inspirational when he speaks but is he able to get the job done?Obama is promoting that he'll be change for the US ,but would this change bring improvement or diaster?

Tammy, Los Angeles   February 10th, 2008 7:11 pm ET

Edwards would go against all he talked about supporting lobbyists if he endorses Hillary. Also, Elizabeth Edwards was the one who convinced him to run again. I have a feeling she's convinced him to become active again. There is a reason most Edwards endorsements have gone Obama lately.

Jimmy Carter gave a silent endorsement in an article this week for Obama when he said that what Obama has done has been "extraordinary" and inspired himself and his wife.

Michael Moore gave a silent endorsement in multiple interviews this week where he mentioned an "immoral" vote to vote for Hillary when she supported giving authorization for war.

And I've also hear rumors of the Al Gore endorsement that I'm sure would be a tough one to come out. Even though they have worked so hard for each other on environmental issues.

abigi   February 10th, 2008 7:10 pm ET

LEADERSHIP IS NOT ALL ABOUT RETHORICS.

IS ABOUT TRACK RECORD AND POLICIES.

A VOTE FOR OBAMA MEANS ANOTHER 8 YRS OF REPUBLICANS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

THIS MOVEMENT BY YOUNG VOTERS WHO ARE STILL LIVING WITH MOMMY AND DADDY WILL NOT HELP AMERICA.

HOW CAN WE AFRICAN AMERICANS TURN OUR BACKS ON THE CLINTONS?

MR.EDWARDS,DO THE RIGHT THING BY ENDORSING HILLARY.

Bill   February 10th, 2008 7:09 pm ET

Will John Edwards's endorsement really help either candidate?

Charley O'Malley   February 10th, 2008 7:09 pm ET

Barack Obama is a moving speaker and a likable guy. He is also a great Christmas gift for the Republicans! Only one Democrat has ever one the White House since 1964, Clinton. The Republicans gave Carter the White house in 1976, when Reagan and Ford fault it out to the convention. In fact, no candidate has won the white House in the last 50 years (at least) where the two candidates have duked it out till the convention, none. He was routed 4 years later. Clinton has centrist views, and could win, Obama, forget it. Not a chance. Ask Humphrey’s where all those young voters were in the general election, home not voting. Then he has the hidden racist factor, one the press doesn’t want to talk about. 5-% of the voters who claim they will vote for him won't. Ask Ford, in Tennessee. So its up to the voters, Clinton or it’s all setting up for Gore in 2012!

Kimberly Peacock   February 10th, 2008 7:08 pm ET

Figures Edwards will support Obama. They just like to get Hillary.

I dont agree with the social agenda of the republican party but I will never vote for Obama. It says the image is more important than substance.

Edwards if you had not given up,

McRumi   February 10th, 2008 7:07 pm ET

Given how Edwards kept attacking Hillary as "status quo," how could he possibly endorse her?? Would seem deeply hypocritical.

Jf   February 10th, 2008 7:07 pm ET

Think for a minute, of our country as a very large bus, that we are all riding on down a road. The bus has been driven really hard the last 7yrs, and almost nothing has been spent on her maintenance during that time. Her tires are almost bald, her brakes are failing, and there is almost nothing left in the fuel tank... Up just ahead, there is a fork in the road. At that fork there is a sign. On that sign is an arrow pointing one way that says “Full service gas station just ahead”, and an arrow pointing the other way that just says “A new direction”... Which way would you want the bus to go?

I can only hope that John Edwards will try to convince people that we need to get the bus serviced BEFORE we head down that “A new direction” road.

I believe that road will still be there in 4 or 8yrs, and at that time, when the bus is road worthy again, if that sign is still up, I’d be happy to see what’s down “A new direction” road.

Steve   February 10th, 2008 7:06 pm ET

ALL the momentum is going Obama's way. So just let that fresh breeze pick you up, John, and join the chorus! Some one has got to convice the Party fuddy duddies (i.e. "Super"delegates) to not stand in the way of the public will–Change Can't Wait–Obama in '08! "We are the ones we've been waiting for..."

Voter   February 10th, 2008 7:06 pm ET

It just amazes me how much people to support someone so willing to divide the nation with red and blue lines again. Edwards just wants to help the people like Obama does. If either one is getting an endorsement then it's Obama.

Isabel   February 10th, 2008 7:05 pm ET

Clinton/Edwards would be more ideal. John would have the responsibility to check on Clinton's scruples.

Violet Cauthon   February 10th, 2008 7:05 pm ET

I voted for John Edwards in our state's caucus via absentee ballot. That was, of course, before he suspended his campaign. Edwards has policities closest to my political stance and I fervently hope he influences Clinton or Obama to fight for his ideas. I also don't see him accepting Vice-President but I would really, really like to see John Edwards as Attorney General over the decimated Department of Justice. I could see John Edwards cleaning house of the Bush evangelical law students and the other right-wing idealogues hired by Ashcroft and Gonzales. I could see John Edwards being the housecleaning Attorney General for the United States. With him over Justice, maybe Conyers, Leahy, Levin et al would finally, FINALLY receive the information they've requested from the Bush White House over and over again.

James   February 10th, 2008 7:04 pm ET

Sen. Edwards,

I think many of agree that Obama/Edwards is not only representative of the direction we would like to see the nation move towards, but is a very strong, electable ticket as well.

That said, I ask that you endorse Sen. Obama irrespective of if you are asked to be his running-mate or not, because it is what's best for the country.

Thank you.

jim davis   February 10th, 2008 7:04 pm ET

if clinton is the nominee this will be the first time in 40yrs. i will not vote. bush 4ys clinton 8ys. bush 8ys. what does these people think we are stupid/? the clintons were behind going to court to stop the vote in nv. i made the mistake of voteing for our gov. here im mi. against my better judgement i thought we needed a female in office. my mistake. now she is crying about mi. and fl. being counted everyone knew what the rules were going in now she wants to change the rules on that how can i support someone like that. never happen; sounds like bush to me.

Michelle in KS   February 10th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

OBAMA/EDWARDS is my dream ticket!

An Al Gore endorsement can't hurt either...what a slap in the face from the former VP to his President.....

Rich in Seattle   February 10th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

Hillary is the establishment, if he wants what is best for the "regular folks" he knows who he needs to support. The choice is obvious.

Carol   February 10th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

If you watched the debate in which Edwards aligned himself with Obama
as agents of change, as opposed to Clinton as a voice of the past,
one wonders why this is an issue at all - unless Edwards is less
direct and honest than we thought...

rlkidd   February 10th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

I hope John Edwards endorses Obama, perhaps running as vice president.
New blood in the white house, not the same old political hacks.

John Harrington   February 10th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

please endorse hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ur health care and other policies are exactly the same
GO HILLARY!!!!!
GO EDWARDS!!!!!!

Love Hill   February 10th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

He was part this 2008 campaign. If he needs to discuss with Hillary and Obama before deciding who to endorse, that tells us a lot about him.
He is bargaining his support. That is so cheap of him. What else does Edward need to know about Hillary and Obama ???

Naushad   February 10th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

I hope Mr.Edward choose the right candidate for Democrats. I like Mr.Obama but I
believe he needs some maturity both in US and outside of this country. We had one naive G. Bush and look wher it took this country. This country right now does not only need hopes but also needs a leader who is connected with real world outside US. I must admit it is tough to ignore Mr.Obama but this is a crucialmoment for this country and unfortunately Mr.Obama is not ready yet. He is also supported by two proven losers in De.Party named Kerry and Kennedy. It makes me love when Democrats criticizes Bill Clinton.I just want to politely remind the Democrats that Bill Clinton is the only success story Democrats have in last 25 years. I believe Bill is more black than any other black candidates I have ever seen including loser Kerry and Kennedy.

Jordan, New York   February 10th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

Hillary's a great candidate. She's been a phenomenal senator for the state of New York, and she'll continue to be a phenomenal senator for us. However, It's time that the Democratic Party recognizes the new direction that we're moving. Obama is racking up win after win by ENORMOUS margins (today's Maine caucuses were supposed to be close, they weren't). If we're going to prevent the party from being fractured, we need to start coming together NOW. We need Edwards (and Gore and Bill) to put their weight and credibility behind the more popular candidate. We need to preserve the enthusiasm that Obama has instilled in the party. We can't let it deteriorate with the relentless politicking that's characterized the Clinton campaign thus far.

Sistah   February 10th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

Hmmm.....Mrs. Edwards and her pals like Obama. As you may forget, when Mr. Edwards was trying to get a word in at the debate, BILLARY was the main one bickering.

Now her campaign manager is NO MORE – but at least BILL has quieted down and let her fight her own battles (without the crocodile tears).

By the way, isn't Obama winning Maine today and the everything in the next two weeks? ;)

He'll get OHIO too! I'm from there and the Plain Dealer is endorsing him as well many others.

Obama '08 and '12

Anonymous   February 10th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

Clinton is a better candidate than Obama with much experience. I am confused why people don't see this!!
But then again...alot of people voted for Bush to be back in the office.

Edwards should not endorse anyone. But if he must....Clinton is the best person for it.

HILLRY 08!!!

Maria Dafaxina   February 10th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

BARACK for me is like coffe and milk, i can not start may day without it! I wil vote Obama for may childrens, for may parentes and for The United States of America!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deogwon   February 10th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

The only reason I could see Edwards either not endorsing Obama or staying neutral is if he wants Clinton to pick him as her running mate because if you look at the issues, Edwards has a lot more in common with Obama than he does with Clinton. Edwards and Obama stand for change. I was a supporter of Edwards in 2004, and I was shocked that voters picked Kerry over him, but I will be even more shocked if Edwards picks Clinton over Obama.

Rick   February 10th, 2008 7:00 pm ET

Mr Edwards if tiy are really an agent for change and really want to see your programs evolve into something workable then you need to endorse Mr Obama. His influence with the young is what is going to change America and Washington for the best. If you choose Hillary then you are no better than the rest of the Staus Quo and Washington. Do the RIGHT THING, choose to change the STATUS QUO and vote for Obama..................

Marc, WSU   February 10th, 2008 7:00 pm ET

Al Gore is on the boards of Apple, won the Nobel Peace Prize and has his hands full outside of Politics. He's being intelligent by staying out of the political elections.

TSR   February 10th, 2008 7:00 pm ET

Hey Kat i thought Hillary was always over the top to start with. Rewind three months ago and no one gave Obama achance to beat her . How ironic that you are begging the same man to help her that was critizing every thing he stood for in the debates.Americans have great memories

Charles   February 10th, 2008 7:00 pm ET

Finally, United state and its greatness are on the same side again, This is really the beginning of rebuilding the lost wonderful name we once heard.
Smart Americans are voting for Obama.

aware   February 10th, 2008 6:59 pm ET

It is too early. John Edwards needs to remain neutral!

Hillary the Hope of 08 :)

"Yes! Come on Senator Edwards PLEASE make the right decision and support HIllary. She is the best person for the job and we need you to help put her (us) over the top. She can bring the changes you and so many of us want.
Hillary 08"

Keep on dreaming!!!!! Did you watch any of the debates when Edwards was in the race? He would be one of the biggest Hypocrites in history if he endorsed Hillary!
Manadory contributions to her health care plan is a change Americans can live without!
Wonder how much these Billary supporters are going to "love" her when she starts going after their wages????

Brad, Columbia, S.C.   February 10th, 2008 6:59 pm ET

I'm sure North Carolina is the last place Obama wants to be Monday, on the eve of a very big primary trifecta.

I wonder who set that date. If it was Edwards, surely he must have known that's bad timing, even though Obama would not turn down the invitation for risk of letting an endorsement slip away. If Obama set the date, well, I'd be very surprised. Unless that means an Edwards endorsement were to come sometime Monday.

Either way, I still believe Edwards is holding back until a front-runner is established. I think he very much wants to be VP and doesn't want to burn any bridges.

But anyway, I see Obama-Edwards as anything but a slam dunk. Especially against McCain, don't you think Obama would do well to pick someone with more experience and credentials than Edwards, himself nearly as green as Obama? How a senior Democrat with strong foreign policy/security bona fides? (I was about to say Wesley Clark, but he's already endorsed Clinton ...)

Hopemonger in NYC   February 10th, 2008 6:58 pm ET

I really hope Edwards endorses Obama, I know that in my circle of friends without exception every single person that was an Edwards supporter turned their support to Obama after Edwards suspended his campaign. It seems like a no brainer. I mean how can you run a campaign on the need for change in Washington and getting lobbyists out of the political process and then endorse Hillary Clinton who everyone knows is beholden to those same interests. Also, I have personally seen the way that Obama's call to service and his call to be better Americans has engaged people in caring more for those in need and struggling in this country. I mean the day after Super Tuesday, there was post after post on the Barack Obama web site not about the election results but about how to make donations to the Red Cross to help people in the tornado ravaged areas (all made in honor of Senator Obama). My 2 cents.

Bubba   February 10th, 2008 6:58 pm ET

I like Edwards and think that he was entertaining during some of the debates – he always knew how to ruffle Clinton and Obama's feathers. With that being said, it is still clearly way too early for him to announce any endorsement. I am all for an Obama – Edwards ticket, but he should wait.

In 'Fade In' magazine when Oliver Stone interviewed him, he said that he would not run as a vice president to any of the candidates – which I found funny, as we will see him go back on that shortly.

Obama '08!

RobinH   February 10th, 2008 6:58 pm ET

I respect Sen. Clinton experience, drive and intelligence, but Senator Obama's experience in the real world, as a community organizer, as well as his ethics and his electability make him a better choice for Democrats. His ability to expand the party means coat-tails for every down-ticket race, from the Congress to local school board.

Voters with time and inclination should read his Blueprint for Change, 59 pages of small font, nitty gritty, specific policies to make America stronger and better. The first two pages are devoted to 15 specific ethics reforms that would reduce the influence of big-moneyed special interests on DC decision making This is the 'type of change we can believe in' the type of legacy that outlives any presidency.

Anna   February 10th, 2008 6:57 pm ET

Wouldn't it be hypocritical for Edwards to endorse Obama since he wants universal health care, like Clinton and unlike Obama?

jeffrey   February 10th, 2008 6:57 pm ET

For Senataor Edwards PLEASE......PLEASE endorse Barrarck Obama, he is the best to lead America. He can put back America to its golden time.

xavier   February 10th, 2008 6:56 pm ET

PK:

Given that Obama has more states, more votes, and more pledged delegates, how can you make the statement that more people vote for Hillary? that doesn't even make sense. If you represent the people that support her then she has already lost.

Beverley   February 10th, 2008 6:56 pm ET

I respect John Edwards a lot. And although I never thought he'd get far with his poverty platform – it was a honorable campaign. I think John Edwards is very smart! He can't possibly think that Hillary is the future (if anything her experience should be packaged as a quick fix) – Obama and democrats like him are the future.

Democrats are not Republicans! While the Republicans are trying to make McCain bend over and submit – Democrats like ex-republican Jim Webb, Heath Shuler and Barak Obama are doing what is best for the country – not the party!

I'm glad he met with both camps – I hope he gets some concessions. I'm glad he didn't endorse before super tuesday, because that's when the bulk of the country and the nominee should be able to win on their own merit not an endorsement – But over half of the states have voted and this is an appropriate time to hear from Edwards because he does represent a portion of the voters!

Maria   February 10th, 2008 6:56 pm ET

I like Senator Edwards, and I know that there is tough pressure on both sides for an endorsement, but it is clear that Senator Obama has a stronger message and during debates, the two of them sided together much more often.

I'm a New Yorker who agrees that it should be Obama/Edwards 08!

Maddie   February 10th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

John – Please throw your endorsement to Sen. Barack Obama, a smart, gifted visionary that has breathed hope into a nation hungry for change.. He is the Kennedy of the younger generation, a generation that will become completely disenfranchised if and when backroom politics, something machine Democrats are so good at, cause "fixers" to lean on the Super Delegates to elect Sen. Hillary Clinton. We need a fresh outlook! We need to look forward.

pam Eugene OR   February 10th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

Look at the momentum for Obama John. He is our future and Hillary is our past. I don't know what each of them is promising you but please see what is best for all Americans. We need a pick a candidate very soon and start to work against McCain now. A brokered conference would be terrible for all democrats. The Clinton years are over and for good reasons. She is way too too divisive and has far too many negatives to unite the people.One half of the country hates her, not a mild dislike, a total hatred of her.
If you can not endorser Barack please don't say anything.

Alex K   February 10th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

YES WE CAN

Ellen   February 10th, 2008 6:54 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is the most qualified to put our dreams into action. It would be great to have Edwards endorsement. She really has worked all her life to improve the lives of people who are not as advantaged as some of us.
As for Obama and the lobbyists - I'm from Illinois and believe me that's a new thing. Last night he bragged about being from Chicago and knowing how to do politics the Chicago way. Hmmmmm
I remember being young and wanting everything right now but this time I think we need someone with both dreams and experience. Hillary Clinton has already worked through the theory Obama is just thinking about. She will take us where we want to go.
Good Luck to all of us.

Ricky   February 10th, 2008 6:53 pm ET

Wow, your decision can carry a lot of weight but only if you choose the right person. You are torment to choose between your mother and your bother. Which one will it be the future or past?

Matt   February 10th, 2008 6:53 pm ET

He will endorse Obama, the smart choice. The only choice, really.

Hillary's time is up.

Salz   February 10th, 2008 6:52 pm ET

He should endorse Obama. He's more well-rounded, and is now pulling in huge votes. Join the Cause, Edwards. Change, we believe in it!

Jean   February 10th, 2008 6:52 pm ET

I think Clinton would be better at fullfilling any deals made with Edwards because she's a more intelligent, experienced politician .

The Youth in NC   February 10th, 2008 6:52 pm ET

Speaking for the youth. The future of this country lies with the youth. The youth are mesmorized by Obama. Invest in the youth by endorsing Obama. Not only that, all of the polls indicate that Obama would make the best candidate against Mccain, or any one else. An endorsement for Clinton would keep things the same, a vote for Obama will bring about change. Do what is right.
Obama 08!!!

Terrell Newkirk CA   February 10th, 2008 6:52 pm ET

Edwards will make the right decision and support the surge of Obama.

Go Obama/Edwards or Obama/Clintion 08.

AJ, IL   February 10th, 2008 6:51 pm ET

Edwards should have endorsed Obama before Super Tuesday Feb. 5th when he had the chance to look authentic. Since some superdelegates have already left the Edwards camp for Obama, I don't think his endorsement will carry much weight. The real question is what position is Edwards jocking for. I don't think he should be on the VP ticket. It needs to be someone new and currently in an elected office who shares Obama's view of change and was and still is against the Iraq War.

Obama in '08!

unreal   February 10th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

so sad cnn needs help

rabblerouser   February 10th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

It's not over yet – but I do wonder how things would have worked out if the media hadn't run a relentless smear campaign against Clinton. There's some force (and it's not the people) that wants Obama to get this nomination. I'm not sure why or who they are, but the media reflects this and has consistently been out to get Hillary from the outset. It makes me realize that we the people really don't choose our leaders, we just think we do...

John Edwards should support Clinton because he is a champion of the poor and so is she. What we don't need is four years of on the job training.

Betty   February 10th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

CNN seems very slanted toward Clinton. Luckily, the country is in favor of Obama.

MARIA 2325   February 10th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

Edwards knows who is the best for the job ,Obama is a good speaker and I do not believe he will do what he promises , he does not show his plans. I can compare with a president in South America , He was young and offered a lot , his speeches were like Obama, when he was in the govenment , led the country the worst inflation . Hilary is a smart woman with experience and a good work plan

AMP   February 10th, 2008 6:49 pm ET

You people (Obama supporters) have lost your minds! Even if Hillary Clinton didn't pick up another delegate from here out, she has almost HALF of the delegates needed for nomination as I type, so the Obama/Edwards ticket is TRULY funny! Your guy is going to get exposed SOON enough for selling you guys nothing but smoke!

Cherish   February 10th, 2008 6:49 pm ET

Hillary is the status quo candidate – if Edwards endorses her, I wouldn't be more surprised if I woke up with my head sewn to the carpet.

All this Gore/Edwards Obama endorsement talk is enough to keep a smile on my face all the way to Texas & Ohio! (knock on wood.)

Did you know four major Texas newspapers have endorsed Sen. Obama?!

Together, we can. Together, we will.

Obama '08!!!

Sherry in Kentucky   February 10th, 2008 6:49 pm ET

Not that CNN will post this. . . and not that John Edwards bothers to read the CNN blogs. . . but if you are reading this. . . Please endorse Barack. We need to unite the party against McCain. Hillary will divide us.

cj from seattle   February 10th, 2008 6:49 pm ET

Only Obama could get his endoresment. Hillary's whole campaign conflicts with Edward's platform of change from the status quo. And as Billary put it herself she has been part of the washington machine for 35 years (and if that is not status quo I do not know what is). I think Eddy wil endorse Obama after this upcoming tuesday, it will build on his momentum and will help him in texas ohio and pennslyvannia where he desperetly needs to do well. Momentum is everything. And I think Hillary is knows it wil soon be over (but not after a bitter fight). And I think it would be odd for gore to step back in the political arena (it would sure help obama, but endorsing his running mate's wife's enemy takes gusto, but then again look at Kerry...).

Sally   February 10th, 2008 6:49 pm ET

If Edwards is so worried about the poor people as he says he is, he certainly will endorse Hillary Clinton, but if he is more worried about a position that Obama may give him, as I heard talk before about Edwards being Attorney General if Obama is elected, then he will vote Obama. His ideas are so close to Hillary's when it comes to the poor and they both had the same Healthcare plan, I don't know why he would even have a hard time deciding on who he should endorse. We shall see which is of the most importance to him.

Lcf   February 10th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

I am commenting to CNN about the coverage today and how very obviously slanted it is toward Clinton. Ms. Crowley's coverage today was obviously pro Clinton.
Also, Fox is reporting another number with delegates than CNN-CNN more slanted toward Clinton. I think it's pretty sad that Obama was behind by less than 100 votes before yesterdays races, but now is behind by 133 according to CNN-if that continues, I as a democrat and many more will stay home and become discouraged for November and you can guarantee a Republican win.

Narian   February 10th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

Yes! Come on Senator Edwards PLEASE make the right decision and support Obama. He is the best person for the job and we need you to help put him (us) over the top. He can bring the changes you and so many of us want.
Obama '08

Trey   February 10th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

Edwards will endorse Hilliary.

If he doesn't he is showing how phony he is.

Remember Hilliary and Edwards have basically the same positions on healthcare....

NT   February 10th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

I hope he endorses Obama. We need a new perspective in Washington. Obama also brings in so many young people into the process.

I don't understand why Clinton supporters' primary argument for her is that "she can bring about the change"....so what? As if Obama can't??? He seems to me to be much stronger and have a much more balanced and clear head on his shoulders. Look at the coalition he has built in just this campaign alone!! The man is certainly capable of action as well as inspiring a nation and uniting a people. I cannot fathom not supporting him.

Chris   February 10th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

Edwards is a smart guy, he will go for the obvious winning team. Contrary to popular opinion, the ability to inspire is a more precious presidential quality than having spen 8 years in the white house next to the guy who had the ability to inspire.

Yes We Can!

Ryan   February 10th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

Edwards always struck me as being a man of principle, which is why I have so much respect for him. I hope he goes with the candidate that represents his views and doesn't follow the hype of a rockstar. If he wants to give the goals of his candidacy any chance, he'll throw his support to Hillary.

Carol   February 10th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

I was just listening to the NBC evening news. They reported that Barack Obama was meeting with John Edwards, but they said nothing about meeting with Hillary Clinton. Barack Obama has been made by the media, he is not President material, at this point. It's so sad that the country likes someone for President,who does not even have a platform.

Bree   February 10th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

"Most of the poor people vote for (Clinton)"...that is not necessarily true. Wealthier democrats seem to be more likely to vote for obama, but that doesn't mean most do and it certainly doesn't mean that most poor people do not. Don't skew statistics.

SH- Alabama   February 10th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

We need Edwards in the next government. Let him endorse the one that will put him on their ticket.

richard   February 10th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Actually I have heard reliable rumor of Gore enorsing Hillary. Main complaint is the junior senator Obama has no experiance in several main issues.

Facts and opinions gathered on the net.

Hey Obama please release the following documents please:
- Your Columbia University Transcripts. (has refused so far)
- A list of your friends, roommates and bosses during your time in New York. By the way this is required for a security clearance. (has refused so far)
- Documents regarding your time in the Illinois Senate. (Obama refused and now says the documents were lost)
- The documents concerning your house purchase and the purchase of the lot next door and the subsequent purchase of part of that lot by you.
- A document showing how you handled the "gift" from Rezcko on your house purchase. (If not on your tax return during the year you purchased your house then you have violated federal law?
- A list of the people who have bundled your contributions, including any money from overseas sources.
- A transcript of the conversations that you had as a sitting U.S. Senator with Railla Odinga while he was running for the presidency of foreign government( Kenya).
- An explanation of your wherabouts during the period Nov 3 through Nov 8, 1999, while a State Senator from Illinois.
It seems lots of folks make judgment without researhing information first. Senator Clinton made lots of money on her book...and is still recieving royalties. She was paid over 8 million and certainly has other resources. The deal with the uranium mine...if you had done your research..would have shown President Clinton said ..no..to any involvment. That is the part the press doesnt tell. Check out Media Matters. I dont think most of Hillary's supporters realized she was short of money...and once they knew...the donations came in. Senator Obama asks for donations all the time. Senator Clinton and her husband never recieved any money from Rezko. Senator Obama's main contributor from the beginning of his career has been Rezko. Rezko also has close ties with Auchi...who has been found guilty by of deals relating to nuclear plants in Iraq. That makes Obama three times removed from that situation. Auchi is the reason Rezko is in jail now...due to flight risk. Check sites out about Rezko. Rezko also contributed funds to George W Bush. You can say...well...Clintons' had Hue. Some differences....Hue got his money from big investors. Obama got his money from misuse of taxpayers funds. Rezko said he couldnt pay for the heat in the buildings in Chicago. People going without heat in a Chicago winter? Chicago gets cold. During that time...Rezko gives a thousand dollars to Obama for his political career. I find it hard to believe that Obama didnt know about these conditions in his district...when the City Of Chicago was taking Rezko to court for this. Obama wrote a letter of recommendation for Rezko to get funding for his housing. Those letters are available to see at a website ...taylor marsh. They have government heading on them. You cant tell me that Obama didnt know that Rezko was under federal investigation when he go a deal with him to buy his house. Check it out. Senator Obama hasnt been that honest about all of this.

Come on sheeple this is BIG media and the republican walking you into a trap. Edwards supporters it was BIG media that made him have to drop out. It is BIG media that gives Obama legs with there love fest. We are being divided. He is a good speaker, but when the lights fade and the arena empties the good speker will be all alone. Do the research people. Don’t be tricked again.

paul b moyer   February 10th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Edwards best bet is to back Clinton if he ever wants to be President in the future .
It's quite evident that the afroamerican communty forgot who surported them in the past , Obama is an exciting candidate but when the vote is 70-80% this clearly is a prejudicial vote.

david birmingham, alabama   February 10th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

as a former Edwards supporter who voted for Obama on February 5th, I would love to see him endorse Obama. Hillary Clinton offers us only a slightly better vision of the future than do the Raepublicans. Barack Obama is the future. The contrast between young, vibrant Obama and old warmonger McCain will make this a much easier victory for the Dems. Can't fathom Hillary adding states that Kerry didn't win in 2004; I can however see Obama doing this.

joe   February 10th, 2008 6:37 pm ET

SENATOR EDWARDS

IF YOU REALLY ARE FOR THE WORKING PEOPLE..

YOU SHOULD SUPPORT SENATOR CLINTON

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART

anonymous   February 10th, 2008 6:36 pm ET

Edwards, it would be good for all of us including yourself and your political career to support Barack Obama.

Larry Judge   February 10th, 2008 6:35 pm ET

The CNN political team keeps saying this presidential contest is not about race, but it is quite apparent from most of the team's commentary that they keep playing the race card in all of their comments. I also do not feel that coverage of the two democratic candidates is equal. It is quite evident that this is an Obama newsteam.

Laura   February 10th, 2008 6:33 pm ET

Edwards is too late, he should of come out before Super Tuesday. He's been gone a long time in the world of politics. He wasted his endorsement by not doing it sooner.

Ann   February 10th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

I sure hope that John Edwards does not endorse Obama..
I have spent all day reading today, I have yet a clear picture of
anything that this man has done...so he wrote a book, he first
voted in the Senate in March of 2005, is that possible? That is
the extent of his political career? And...he's running for President?

What is wrong with the people in this country that they
are persuaded by a bunch of dreams and ideals... none of
which have ever been acted upon by this man?

I am starting to get a picture here of someone with almost
no experience who is being pushed onward by some sort
of "cult" type hype from the Internet..

I am shocked and concerned...

I guess if you can "talk the talk" you can just about persuade anyone
of anything.....

Alexis   February 10th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

And why is Edwards' endorsement so critical? His anti-corporate, angry populism is not in need of representation by either Billary or Obama. He is a bottom-feeder trial lawyer who just needs to retire.

Alecki   February 10th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

John Edwards has to vote for Hillary because of Universal Health Care. Also he knocked Obama for not voting on congressional issues for at least 100 different issues.

If there is a God above watching. Pray Edwards votes for Hillary.

We can't afford to select a Rookie.

We don't know what we have with this man. He's has no experience with government issues we are facing.

He's not for the poor. We know that. The polls on CNN says that.

Let the Democrats win with a person that knows what she's talking about.

Obama has empty promises.

The only change he's forseeing is a Black President.

Lani   February 10th, 2008 6:20 pm ET

Who cares about anti-lobbyist money and electability. This is about the issues and policies of the candidates people. John Edwards would betray all the people and issues he fought so hard for if he chose not to endorse Hillary Clinton and jumped on the Obama Bandwagon.

Obama is getting all this praise and endorsments most of it unwarranted because it's the in thing to do and Obama is cool or he is likable. Who cares about all that crap. This is not American Idol. This is the office of the presidency. John Edwards, everything you worked so hard for...the issues the poor and disenfranchised would suffer dearly if you endorsed Obama and not Clinton. Obama is the candidate for the media, celebs and elists. Not for the regular people. Those celebs won't suffer if Obama messes up. We will. I don't care about who takes or does not take lobbysist money. And I believe Obama does especially from ex lobbyists and the spouses of lobbyists. It's the same crap. This election should have only been about the issues and policies of the candidates. It should have never gone this far into a popularity contest. This election is just wrong and is extremely disturbing to me and to many other people.

No matter what anyone says Obama has no chance of winning the election against McCain. I don't believe he has a snowballs chance in you know where fo winning. Hillary is a stronger opponent and the republicans know it. That is why they are willing to fight so hard for the White House. The Republicans know Obama will be easy to take down. Too many negatives for him that the dems just can't see now. Republicans will smear him so easily and he will fall from grace. The bigger they are the harder they fall.

Kahramana   February 10th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

Edwards,
You've been such a respectful figure.
Endorse Obama!

Obama should pick Edwards for VP. It will balance white women voters

I would love an Obama/Edwards ticket. I think John Edwards is an outstanding man and politician. My top Dem. picks together would be awesome.

Angela   February 10th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Edwards should endorse Hillary. Hillary should nominate him for Attorney General. What a winning combination...ah and if obama wants to join them then he can be vice president for 8 years, perhaps then he can learn "HOW TO" become a president and not just talk about it.

HILLARY 08 & 12

Dr. NO   February 10th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

Enough with the endorsements. Stay back John.

JOE   February 10th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

MY HOPE IS THAT SEN EDWARDS WILL ENDORSE SEN OBAMA. THE VERY THOUGHT OF 30 YEARS OF BUSH-CLINTON-CLINTON-BUSH-BUSH-CLINTON-CLINTON IS ENOUGH TO KILL ALL HOPE OF CHANGE. YEARS OF SCANDALS, POLITICAL CIVIL WAR, AND LEADERSHIP BY THE LATEST POLL HAS GOT TO END. OUR MORAL IS AS LOW AS IT HAS EVER BEEN IN MY LIFETIME. WE NEED A NEW, ALL NEW DIRECTION.

UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE IS COMING NO MATTER WHO THE NEXT PRESIDENT IS. WE NEED SOMEONE WHO HAS THE TRUST OF ALL/OR AT LEAST MOST AMERICANS.

PLEASE! WE NEED TO STOP THE ENDLESS FIGHTING AND PUT OUR ENERGY INTO REBUILDING OUR COUNTRY BEFORE IT IS TO LATE.

nancy   February 10th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

i'm not understanding why i cant see much on Barack Obama without his speech being cut short or interrupted.. who gives a POOP what the Republicans want or say.. they don't have a candidate worth supporting anyway, Yet, they still seem to be all over your news station.. PLEASE, can't we hear more and more about the Democrats, and how the real race is going.. GOD BLESS AMERICA, &
STAND UP PEOPLE AND BE PROUD TO VOTE . USE YOUR INDEPENDENCE

Adjetey   February 10th, 2008 6:09 pm ET

Edwards will and should definitely endorse Obama.

You always want to move in the direction of the peoples needs. If the people want Obama, I am sure Edwards understands why.

Liz RN in TN   February 10th, 2008 6:09 pm ET

Clinton is the ONLY ONE supporting your UNIVERSAL health care. (Health care is not universal unless everyone has it).

Help get it through...JOIN HILLARY!

Talk is cheap and everyone will be disappointed in the end if Obama is the nominee. If everyone around you wanted to jump off a cliff, would you follow??

Lawrence Walker   February 10th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

I was and remain a fan of Edwards, and to me, his endorsement must depend on the war more than anything else. Military spending and tax cuts for the rich are endangering the economy and the prospects for helping the poor more than anything else. And the war is immoral. Edwards and Obama are more closely aligned on their lack of support for the war. I hope Edwards does not endorse anyone for a few months, at least, but I think endorsing Clinton should not be an option as she has been so ambiguous about this unjust and expensive charade of a war.

Bill   February 10th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

I hope Edwards endorses Obama and is made his VP choice.

Anonymous   February 10th, 2008 6:07 pm ET

Richard Rote (California)   February 10th, 2008 6:07 pm ET

Obama/Edwards 08!!

Sam   February 10th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

If Edwards endorses Hillary then Edwards will have lost two times in this campaign. Because the Clinton ship is sinking fast.

Joseph DeSousa   February 10th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

Everyone can go ahead and go with Obama and remeber this name CARTER..

It's amazing how we all forget that no matter what the intentions are we need an insider to get things done or we may have 4 years of Obama followed by 12 years of republicans.

And don;t kid yourself America... many skeletoms are due to come out on Barack Obama in the fall.

If you thing America is ready for a "Barak Obama" as president you all kidding yourself.

Bottom line is anyone that looks and talks too good is a failure in the long run.

m   February 10th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

Edwards will make a good choice even if we disagree! I am in it for obama! but i would vote for either who wins the primaries

Oscar Francis   February 10th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

What does John Edward's endorsement matter to either candidate now anyways?

tomdavie   February 10th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

He is going to endorse Obama

Its the TRENDY thing to do.

jimdon   February 10th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

im not against Obama: if he's the nominee,i'll support him,and will work in his campaign,because we dont need another Bush..we'll soon be in Iraq 5 year's.with a cost of 3,958 brave soldier's,,and over 30,000 with mangled bodys and minds.

but i am concerned that his young followers,will want him to join the GOP type of Social Security Program,which will mean the end SSA as we know it ,they also wont buy health insurance,because they think they are infalible,,therby no health insurance for them....were'nt you young once upon a time?.....

im not concerned about African American's,because we take care of our own.but i am concerned about whether the college students who will no doubt be in the business world.thus,they will be against union's who will demand good pay,and other benifits..

we need to get our thinking caps on, and vote for the candidate who will best serve our interest's,it's along time till 2012, when changes can be made,,think about it..

Dorothy   February 10th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

I believe Hillary has the most experience.

Bryan C   February 10th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

I think Edwards needs to stay out of the race. No need for more press for one or the other canidate.

dick   February 10th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

He's playing 2 ends against the middle to see which one offers him the most.
He'd be wise to endorse neither one.

Dorothy   February 10th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

I hope the right choice is made for the betterment of our NATION... Both Hillary & Obama have the right ideas. We need the American people's voices heard. Senator Edwards PLEASE MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR OUR COUNTRY. I LEAVE IT UP TO YOUR OWN INTUITION.

Thank You.

BETH   February 10th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

ENDORSE HILLARY! SHE HAS BEEN HELPING THE POOR FOR YEARS AND WILL GET ALONG BETTER WITH THE REPULICANS TO GO ONBOARD WITH HER MUCH BETTER THEN A NEWBIE BARAK! THE LIGHTS DIM AFTER THE LAST CAMPAIGN SPEECH!

Robert Bergley   February 10th, 2008 5:54 pm ET

If he has aspirations to a future career in politics, he'll choose the candidate of the people and not the candidate of his peers.

Josie   February 10th, 2008 5:54 pm ET

John don't sell out to the Clintons' dirty politics. I would suggest to hold your nomination for now. Hillary continues to do what she can to win at any cost and will promise you anything. Go with the honest broker if you have to, but Hillary and Bill have proven that its not them.

Hillary will be faced with her husband's impeachment and extramarital affairs. She can't use his record and excuse his infidelities. Its either all or nothing and the Republicans will go no-holds-barred against her.

Now that I have heard both candidates speak time and time again, Hillary continues to change her message to that of what Obama has proven the American population takes most interest. She hopes to be elected on her health campaign alone, but there's more to the Presidency than that.

VA voter   February 10th, 2008 5:45 pm ET

I bet he doesn't endorse someone. He doesn't want to risk not getting the VP nod if he endorses the person who does not win the nomination!

I'm hoping for a Clinton/Obama ticket myself.

IllinoisIndie   February 10th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

wow... is this really a question and maybe the edwards supporters have already weighed in on who he should support and for anyone who hasnt been paying attention that would be Obama. I think it would be bad for him politically to endorse clinton. And as a side note for those who think that endorsements dont matter, make an exception in this case, with edwards endorsement comes 26 pledged delegates and in a race this close those must certainly matter

Roy Ashing   February 10th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

I think he should split it down the middle cause either way i believe that the democratic primarys will go all the way to the convention without a clear decisive winner and i like it this way it is keeping party politics fun to watch

pam,s.c.   February 10th, 2008 5:41 pm ET

this could be a dream ticket obama/edwards. this ticket is what alot of us especially in s.c. have prayed for. remember john edwards clinton has not always been union friendly. hillary and bill release your joint income tax return. go edwards go obama.

john edwards would be a great attorney general for clinton. i voted for edwards, & wil now vote for hillary. she has experience, & he is bright, quick & very aware of the problems in this society. He also would be a great vice president for hillary. i think they would be the best choice.

Nana   February 10th, 2008 5:40 pm ET

This guy should not be wasting the time of teh candidates. If he wants to endorse, he should go ahead without these useless interviews that boost his ego.

Shae Smith   February 10th, 2008 5:40 pm ET

Wow, I hope Edwards can keep his "fight" mentality up against the arm twisting Clintons. They are reknown for their dirty tactics. Les we forget, they asked Ted Kennedy to keep quiet if he was not going to endorse them. Wonder what Edwards will do....methinks is SILENCE IS SAYING A LOT. Think about it. We know where he labor unions went. Rage Against The CLINTON Machine. Do the Right Thing Edwards.

Josh   February 10th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

I am an Edwards supporter, and if he backs a candidate, then so will I.

Thomas   February 10th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

I just don't understand it. If HILLARY were a caucasian male, there would not even bea contest. She is clearly the qualified and experienced candidate. Obama is just another George Bush, except he is a democrat. He will be in complete reliance on someone else's brain power when it come to coming up with solutions to the problems that we face at home and abroad. He knows nothing about foreign policy, nothing about the economy, and he had only 1 year of national political experience before he began to run for president. I just don't get it. Why should the leadership of the entire free world be turned over to an inexperienced, unqualified man? Is it just because he is a man? This is a sad commentary on the American public. They are attempting to overlook Hillary because she is female. It does not seem to matter that she is qualified, capable, experienced, prepared, and tested. I just don't get it! I HOPE that we come to our senses before it is too late. This should really be a no-brainer. She clearly politically superior to him and she actually understands the issues and has shown us detailed solutions to address our nation's problems. I just don't get it!?!?

lc   February 10th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

I hope the Clintons do not use Maggie Williams as a conduit for any racist remarks.

Personally, I think a comment is racist whether it comes from Bill Clinton's lips or the lips of their newly promoted surrogate-who happens to be black.

I pray my thoughts are wrong about this ploy- BUT I SIMPLY DO NOT TRUST THE CLINTONS.

I GUESS WE WILL SEE!

Achille   February 10th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

"Yes We Can", even without Edward's support.
The change is in motion in this country neither Edward nor "Billary" can stop it.
The only choice Edward can make to appear not bigot like the Billary is to definetely endorse Barack who has beaten The " BIllary " without his support.
Now Barack needs his support to defeat the Billary In Ohio,Texas and Pennsylvania which are delegates-tanks.
"Yes American Can"
"Yes America Is Ready for a colored President"
"Yes American Could Remain the World Leader"
"Yes America Trust God"

And, " YES EDWARD WILL ENDORSE BARACK "

Shelley   February 10th, 2008 5:37 pm ET

If Edwards was serious about his message and platform, he will endorse Obama, not Clinton. Weigh out the issues...I would like to see Edwards as the VP or Attorney General with Obama.

Ted Minnard   February 10th, 2008 5:36 pm ET

Senator Edwards spoke relentlessly against the issues of special interest and lobbyist influence. Hopefully he will honor those convictions and endorse Senator Obama. If you want a poster girl for special interests and status quo, as Hillary says herself..."I'm your girl". And you get 35 years of special interest influence thrown in too.

Mel   February 10th, 2008 5:33 pm ET

Since John Edwards cares so much about Katrina Victims and a son of South Carolina, Barack Obama won both of them (Louisiana and South Carolina). I believe Obama is the best one John Edwards endorses to.

Obama LISTENED America and chose them over LOBBYISTS! Thousands and Thousands of people donors to support Obama's campaign. Therefore Barack Obama is the right person because he will LISTEN John Edwards and he will do something that John Edwards always dream of.

John Edwards, a true voice of voiceless men/women, I heard you and I will help you to reach your dream. I will tell all my voiceless friends to vote Barack Obama for you.

Best!
Mel

Rob   February 10th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

Why all the agonizing??? She will be behind in pledged delegates EITHER way. John Edwards needs to do the billing of the people and complete the circle. Obama won Edwards' token poverty stricken Louisiana by 21%!!! Hillary didn't even show up down there. Just sent Bill to talk to THOSE people.

No More Caucuses   February 10th, 2008 5:31 pm ET

Don't let Obama steal this election with dodgy caucus victories and the black states.

Martin   February 10th, 2008 5:31 pm ET

My guess: Edwards will join the ranks of the bitter men against Hillary, endorsing Obama despite the sizable overlap in the agendas of Edwards and Clinton. As Edwards said it, it's personal – personal against Hillary. As a man not threatened by the thought of an incredibly able woman in power, I find all this bitterness pathetic.

I Love Barack   February 10th, 2008 5:31 pm ET

I thought that Edwards was arguing that "Clinton is the statos-quo" and that he "stands for change." It is so amazing to hear he is torn between the "status-quo" and "change" canditates right now.

I didn't believe him, whatever he was talking by then. I was right!!!!

NOTE: Most of the people and organizations who endoresed you turned to Obama. Sir, does that give you any HINT? HELLOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Obama 08/12

stan pitts pa   February 10th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

i dont think it matters what or who edwards endorses the American people have endorsed obama! Americans have donated in to obamas campaign in small and large amounts, if that isnt evidence of whom Americans want, i dont know what is!
Americans are smart enough to decide for themselves and they have, obama is the clear choice! now if only his opponent will see the writing on the wall and just drop out of the race, so the will of the American people be done.....and so the dems can get really ready to take down mccain!

Geraldine   February 10th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

How can he support Obama after his wife made the comment on Good Morning America when asked if she could support Hillay if she got the nomination, she said she didn't know. Too bad she didn't say that before the debate on cnn when Hillary said they would stick together who ever got the nomination. What kind of a message is that to send to the black voters, If not her husband than another Bush. Shame on her. Wise up people or we will lose this one too.

Lisa- NC   February 10th, 2008 5:26 pm ET

Edwards needs to endorse Hillary for the Democrates to win.. Obama can't stand up to her or John McCain.

In Case You Missed It: Jan 8th
Sen. Obama turned down Hillary’s invitation to debate in Maine. Though both candidates will be in the state tomorrow, Sen. Obama isn’t ready to hold a joint town hall.

In Case You Missed It: Jan 10th
Hillary accepted an invitation to debate in Wisconsin before the state's February 19th primary. Sen. Obama has refused to debate in the next two weeks.

Tom Wittmann   February 10th, 2008 5:26 pm ET

If he wants to have a say in a future Democratic Admnistration, he must endorse someone, hoping he does it right!

I think he will wait until Tuesday and if OBAMA again is successful, he will endorse him, as Hillary cannot gain a large advantage in Texas, Ohio and
Pennsylvania, given the proportionality of delegates

And traditional labor is today not a large factor any more, many being afro-americans,.

Did you see "Gladiator"? Someone asked what is Rome? and the answer was, "Rome is an idea". At one point it was so fragile that it could only be whispered...
Only Obama can restore the USA to it's glory. The only way to for "change" to occur is to hope and fight for this idea we call America. If hope ceases to exist, so does our almight God and thus we should embrace him and get on the Ark as our only other option is drown in same torrent of mediocrity.

Andy, New York, New York   February 10th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

It would be good to know who Edwards is supporting now he is out of the race. While he was in the race, he repeatedly said he is more aligned with Obama's positions than with Hillary's positions. Nothing major has changed since he left to indicate he has shifted his alignment, but he needs to make an official announcement this coming week.

Giuliani and Romney who quit the Republican race have already endorsed McCain.

If Edwards endorses Obama this week, look for Al Gore to follow shortly after.

Support Hillary!

SLO Bear   February 10th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

In terms of foreshadowing, there was the moment in a debate when Senator Edwards alligned himself with Senator Obama as forces for change against the forces of the status quo, i.e. Senator Clinton. Here' s hoping he holds that thought.

Please no endorsement...let Obama and Clinton stand on their own merits.

I for one hope Sen. Edwards endorses Barack Obama. Obama represents the future of the Democratic Party, while Hillary Clinton represents the past. Edwards could be a real help to Obama, who seems to have trouble connecting with blue collar workers, and could play a role in an Obama cabinet. Clinton will say all the right things now if it will help secure an endorsement, but will not feel bound by anything she says to Edwards.

Democrat for Big Mac   February 10th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

A vote for Obama is a vote for Republicans to hold on to White House for another 4 years. Big Mac will just crush him in general election. I, for the first time in my life, will be forced to vote for Big Mac if Obama is his main rival.

Senator Obama keeps talking about change. Hello, I'm starved to death to hear what concrete plans he has to bring change other than his color.

OBAMA is the escape goat that republican would dream to have in general elections. They will eat him alive without taking a burp.

irma   February 10th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Edwards is young enough to try a run again in the future. If he is not interested in that, I say policy over politics. Then again, he like many others is aware of who will be able to survive the general. Good luck John, whatever you choose. If he makes the wrong selection; what will it mean for him? Is Elizabeths preference being put out to ease the pain of John's selection?

Hillary is the Status Quo   February 10th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

CNN, if this is inappropriate, I apologize.

But I have to say,I would love to hear more from Candy Crowley. Whenever her (figurative) pen touches a piece, it's balanced and insightful in a way that elicits new revelations.

Yes, I could stare all day into the captivating yet pensive eyes of Suzanne Malveaux, (who is also a talent), but I would prefer to hear more from Candy.

Respectfully,

Alvin Charles

Scott   February 10th, 2008 5:11 pm ET

I think he has to endorse Barack Obama. Obama has raised money through the people, not corporations, as Clinton has done. Clinton has also received the most lobbying money out of all of the candidates out there. Another point is that Obama is more electiable. If he endorses Clinton it would be a slap in the face to all of Edwards supporters.

Jody   February 10th, 2008 5:11 pm ET

From watching a few of the debates it seems obvious that Edwards is more aligned with Obama than Clinton. I would like to see Edwards end up being Obama's VP.

bert   February 10th, 2008 5:10 pm ET

When we were young, in the sixty's and seventies, we were right about Viet Nam and our govenment then....There is little reason to beieve that youngpeople today are wrong. We regret only that without intervention form the nineeleven crowd, Obama would have been our president.

Maria   February 10th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

the perfect ticket Obama /Edwards. America's Dream Ticket.... Can we hope? Prayers to Edwards and his Wife and family and no matter who he picks;, he is a good man

chris w.   February 10th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

I will be surprised if Edwards endorses Obama, with all the negative statements and lies he (Obama) spreaded in relations to almost every issue. Come on John, dont get blinded by the false hype and lack of real direction I hate to say it but bush said it the best today. "I dont know what Obama stands for?"..

lynn   February 10th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

I think Obama & Edwards would make a great running team & I would definitly vote for them. I don't see how anyone can trust H. Clinton and endorsing her would be a huge mistake for Edwards.
I heard on the national news a couple days ago that H. Clinton was using 5 mil of her own $ towards her campaign and also her c.m. was working for free in order to help save her $. I read today she let her c.m. go. What a great person to have in charge! NOT!!!!! Is that how she repays dedication?

Chris   February 10th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

I think the Clintons have likely promised John Edwards the moon. They are desperate for any sort of win that will take momentum away from Senator Obama. John Edwards should do the right thing and support his base. And his base supports Barrack Obama.

This is the real test. Does he bow to the bribes of the Clintons or do what is right? Time will tell.

Harold   February 10th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

IM SURE HE WILL DO THE RITE THING.

Sam   February 10th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

If Edwards is really true to his principles and the issues he campaigned for, then he should endorse Hillary. Barrack will be knocked out within weeks of the general election because he has no records to run on. Inspired words will not win this election. The Media will eat Obama alive because they are owned and controlled by the Republicans.

Democrats, do not set yourselves up for failure.

From California   February 10th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

If Edwars was truly campaigning for the poor, he needs to endorse Hillary because Obama will not do much for the por. He has absolutley no record to show that he CAN and WILL do it. Show us yourrecord, Obama, then we will decide if you're up for the task. Talk and rhetoric are cheap. Records speak volume. Edwards wnat universal health care, only Hillary will deliver!

Ally   February 10th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

I think that Obama has an important role to play in national/world politics, but that role is not the presidency. He is just not seasoned enough to be President. I worry that the media is getting too enamored and caught up with Obama's rhetoric and not enough scrutiny is being placed on asking him some tough questions so the voters can learn more about his policies and ideas. Inspirational speeches are one thing, and running this country is another. I hope Edwards endorses Hillary Clinton!

San Diego   February 10th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

John Edwards for VP, Supreme Court Justice, and Attorney General!!!

Magliovelli, Menlo Park CA   February 10th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

The real issue is which candidate, if either, is willing to offer him the vice presidency. He has 26 delegates which could make the final majority. Anyone who things he'll decide who to endorse based on the merits outside of this point has their head in the clouds.

Jas   February 10th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

Part of the problem with Edwards campaign all along has been that his wife wears the pants in the family and makes him look meek. Leave it to her to again upstage him on the candidate he is going to support.

Eli, Milwaukee   February 10th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

I think he will endorse Obama when it is all said and done. He was paying respect to Hillary. He will announce it Monday afternoon or wait till after Tuesday to see where the momentum is going.

everton   February 10th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Obama will win because he speak the truth.

Trece   February 10th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

Edwards come on and endorse Obama. We know that you support Barack's ideas on leading our country.

Frank   February 10th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

I respected John Edwards but I think he has been in hiding for too long. To me it looked like he forgot about what he was fighting for. There is no way how he could maintain credibility by supporting Hillary Clinton. She is everything he is not – or at least what he was not.

Things change, people change though.

OBAMA'08 From Day One !

Zen   February 10th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

This meeting makes sense since both actually stand for something. Hillary and John would make a formidable couple against Mcain.

Matt Canoga Park   February 10th, 2008 4:52 pm ET

I guess whoever will agree to make Edwards his running mate will get his endorsement.

Jeff, Rathdrum ID   February 10th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

I would be so disappointed in him if he endorsed Hillary. I liked Edwards but a endorsment of Hillary would mean it was all just talk, and he was saying what he thought we wanted to hear to get elected.
He stood for everything Hillary is not!!!!!

Dan   February 10th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

I truly hope that John Edward will endorse Obama for the best of America ,, Hillary is a Smart lady but too much of a Washington isider , and special interest groups has too much of a hold on her .she can't repersent Change , Where Obama will.

Michele   February 10th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

I would love to see an Obama/Edwards ticket!!!

Old School   February 10th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

"whom he might endorse." ;)

DuRan Moore   February 10th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

I was a Senator Edwards supporter until he dropped out of the race. Will and do support Hilary Clinton because I believe she is the best qualified to be President of these United States.

Beans   February 10th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Were these meeting with Clinton and Obama requested by Edwards or by the candidates? Would be interesting to know. I don't know how Edwards could endorse Clinton...too many policy AND personality differences.

GIRL POWER   February 10th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

I hope Edwards endorses Clinton. With the economy the way it's, we cannot afford to put an amateour in the White House.

I can't understand these fanatics that get so worked up by Obaka and yet can't specifically explain what exactly he stands for. Just because we pronounce the word "change" we're not going to actually solve our problems and improve the qualitites of our lives!

virg hofstrnd   February 10th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

I can understand Edwards reasons for meeting with both Barrack and Clinton. However, what bothers me is the goof ups in the Clinton campaign this week.
If she is having problems with her campaign staff and their handling of her campaign now, how is she going to chose trustworthy and capable people in her cabinet if she is elected?
This is very disturbing to me!

Virg

Donald   February 10th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

It's my hope that Senator Edwards will endorse Senator Obama. Also, I view Senator Edwards to be Viable candidate for the Vice Presidency with Senator Obama.

Tom in MA   February 10th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

If he endorses Obama, he'll never get my vote if he runs for president again.

GavinMR   February 10th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

I think, and I hope that Senator Edwards, WHO HAS EXPERIENCE AND SOUND JUDGEMENT AND KNOWS THE EXTENT OF PROBLEMS WE HAVE WAITING IN 2009....
....Will endorse Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton...

I think Edwards is TOO deep to jump on some popularity parade obama bandwagon....

JM   February 10th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

Honesly I think at this point electability is the most important thing . If Hillary doesn't get elected none of her policies will reflect Edward's policies. HILLARY IS THE ESTABLISHMENT. John Edwards supported getting the special interests out of Washington. How could he choose anyone but Obmama IF the only issue is his policies ?

CHERYL   February 10th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

I WOULD HOPE BASED ON ELECTABILITY AND EXPERIENCE THAT EDWARDS WOULD CHOOSE HILLARY!!!! SHE HAS A RECORD OF HELPING LOW INCOME AND DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN! I BELIEVE THAT HILLARY CLINTON IS THE BEST CANDIDATE BASED ON CORE VALUES AND CHARACTER! SHE HAS NOT WAIVERED THROUGH OUT THIS PROCESS ON HER INTENTIONS! WHERE BORACK HAS! SHE HAS BEEN WORKING HARD IN THE SENATE AND HAS A RECORD TO PROVE IT! SHE WAS THERE FOR ALL THE VOTES! TO ME THIS SAYS THAT SHE IS SINCERE! GO HILLARY YOU HAVE MY SUPPORT REGARDLESS!!!!!

S.W.A   February 10th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

My sense is that Edwards will either endorse Obama or not endorse anyone at all.

ben   February 10th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

who cares?

YWC   February 10th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

There is no way Edwards could endorse Clinton after his "status quo" remarks without losing all credibility forever.

It's just a matter of if/when he endorses Obama. i hope it's soon, and if he'd campaign for Obama in Ohio and Texas, even better.

Wonder if he'd consider being the veep again?

Laura Thompson   February 10th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Are we thinking that maybe John Edwards might be interested in the VP job?
If so I wouldn't endorse anyone. I think he would be a great VP with either Clinton or Obama.

Rob   February 10th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

It's about time!!!!

Next we need Al Gore to endorse Obama

Harry, Michigan   February 10th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

I am disappointed that Edwards would so overtly politicize his endorsement. He travelled with Clinton and Obama to almost 20 debates, it seems that if he truly is a straight-talking politician, he could have developed a better idea of who would make a better president. Instead, he seems to seeking some sort of political payback? Edwards has a great message, but his character seems to be a bit lacking.

ObamaSupporters   February 10th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Dear Mr. Edwards,

I think it would be best if you support Obama
AFter all, your policies are very similar.

April Cook   February 10th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Edwards has a better chance of getting the position of Attorney General under an Obama administration which is why I think he will endorse Obama.

Bruno   February 10th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

It's going to be ridiculous if Edwards endorses Hillary.

Jaqueline   February 10th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Edwards will endorse Hillary.

Tanner   February 10th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Edwards will endorse HILLARY!, they have a lot in common and they are true mature politician! We need mature politicians to lead this nation-- HILLARY & EDWARDS!

ALWAYS RIGHT (of left) Twin Cities, MN   February 10th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

YES!!!! Edwards I was so sad to see you go!! I know that you and Obama would work well together. Join a winning team!!!

Obama/ Edwards 08 and 12

True Democrat   February 10th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

I believe Sen. Edwards will make the right choice for hope and change in America.

Robert Turner   February 10th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

Is there any doubt that if he endorses it will be Obama? He does not like Clinton at all. I would be utterly shocked if somehow, someway Edwards endorsed Clinton. I think I would be upset as well. I think all along he knows he is going to endorse Obama put he (or they) want the endorsement to actually mean something and act like there was some consideration for both candidates, which might be a good idea. Obama's ideas fit in with Edwards' ideas, so I do not see why this endorsement is taken so long.

Obama/Edwards 2008!!

Darrell   February 10th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Why is Hillary Clinton trying to steal Barack Obama message. Copy cat and flip-flopper for votes. She should be arrested for committing plagiarism.

Joan Nedlik-Bezek   February 10th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Obama! No lobbyist! A man who empowers the people. It's a new day. New Politics. God Bless America.
Hillary step aside. Go back and finish your "no one left behind plan".
After the last presidential election I was done voting. I lost all hope. This country was doomed. All for one and one for all.
It's a new day, a refreshing sense of true democracy might actually be retrieved. To think I may actually play a part in bringing this country together. "You mean we the people for the people." Finally! I'm there. I will do my part for change long after he's elected. Just lead me where I need to be Obama.
A word, I am an independent voter. The Clinton's had their chance. Been there done that. She needs to consider how many others feel this way.

Tom, ALBUQUERQUE, NM   February 10th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

WHO EDWARD ENDORSES IS IRRELEVANT. THE MAN EXHIBITED TIMID BEHAVIOR TOWARD THE OTHER MALE CONTENDERS AND ONLY MADE CHALLENGING TO HILLARY. IF HE HAD BEEN MORE SUBSTANTIAL IN HIS COMPETITIVENESS HE WOULD HAVE FARED BETTER. HIS ENDORSEMENT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.

Megan   February 10th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

The fact is that Hillary is in the pocket of corporate America. That is not a populace message. Her very campaign is being funded by fat cats. Obama's campaign has literally been funded by the little guys. He is beholden to no big interests. He's only beholden to the American people.

Levi John   February 10th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

I think Edwards should endosre the candidate most likely to bring about the change his campaign was all about – a real change in Washington, away from business as usual. I also think he should condition his endorsement on the candidate accepting that if either candidate wins more states, more votes, and more elected delegates, the other candidate should conceed (rather than allow super delegates to decide the outcome). Allowing party insiders and washington insiders – the super delegates – to pick the nomination would seem to be the exact opposite of everything John Edwards is about.

John   February 10th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

John Edwards support of either would be a plus for the respective camaigns.

erika   February 10th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

I hope that John Edwards will turn out to be the voice of reason. He should look at who would be the best candidate to defeat the republican nominee and for the sake of party unity, he should advise one of them to withdraw. There is no point in creating two factions of one party, and in the process destroy itself. We are past the time for internal attacks and destruction, and Edwards should speak the words of the elder statesman (it is not, and can not be Bill anymore!) in order to unite the party for the greater good.. It is beyond the number of delegates and if the democratic party leaders want to show real leadership, they should come out now and support ONE candidate. Sure, this is democracy and every candidate is entitled to campaign until the end. But there is an urgency now to focus on the real aim: the presidency. The stakes are too high for this to continue as a cat and mouse game. We must begin to stand behind the strongest person and not wait until we become a house divided. Mr. Edwards, use your wisdom now to help the party through this process.

Linda   February 10th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

I am glad to know that Edwards is taking a possible endorsement of Obama or Hillary very serious. I think he would do better by endorsing Obamam and then run on his ticket as Vice President. I think that would be an unbeatable combination to the White House. I admired his campaigne and his ethics and his stands on the issues.

I think an Obama / Edwards ticket would be a more appealing team to the Democrats than a Hillary / Edwards ticket.

OBAMA / EDWARDS is the team that will be best for America!

Hope   February 10th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

I'll be really disappointed in Edwards if he doesn't endorse Obama, Edwards touted not owing lobbyist, and I'm sure he KNOWS the Clinton machine owes ALL lobbyist so how can there be change if we put the same people back in the white house. As I followed both Edwards and Obama's campaign and the closely relate better than Hillary's, not to mention she still has not apoligized for voting for the war, it reminds me of the current Prez Bush who NEVER apoligizes for anything. Even yu Mr. Edwards saw your error in that vote and apoligized for it. So I think it's pretty clear who Senator Edwards should be endorsing and it isn't Hillary!!

MLF-N   February 10th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

It is completely a mystery to me that John Edwards could even entertain supporting Hillary Clinton. There is a such a difference in eithics, style and philosophy between them that I will be sincerely disappointed if he goes forward with this endorsement. As a person with family in North Carolina and a history there, I can say that they are all moving from Edwards to Obama – there is not one going to HIllary despite a previous commitment to the Clintons before their true colors started flashing too brightly to ignore. I urge Senator Edwards to stay loyal to his values.

AMW   February 10th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

I WOULD HATE TO SEE EDWARDS ENDORSE THIS EARLY. LET THE CONVENTION WORK THINGS OUT. THAT IS WHY WE HAVE CONVENTIONS.

the one   February 10th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

OBAMA/EDWARDS 08!!!

Edwards will endorse Senator OBAMA right before Ohio and Texas

lisa   February 10th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

If John Edwards is truly interested in helping the poor, he will support Hillary Clinton since her policies are closer in line with his.

JOHN   February 10th, 2008 4:12 pm ET

I WILL BE GLAD WHEN THE CLINTONS NAME WILL BE FOREVER GONE FROM POLITICS.WE NEED NEW BLOOD IN THE WHITEHOUSE.

Ronald Monis   February 10th, 2008 4:11 pm ET

Go ahead Edwards and endorse Obama on March 1st please.

kim   February 10th, 2008 4:08 pm ET

After Obama swept all the states on Saturday this is a no brainer. Most of Edwards endorsements have also endorsed Obama. Hillary is in bad shape at this point.

Josh in Ohio   February 10th, 2008 4:07 pm ET

He'd do better to endorse Obama, who stands a better chance against McCain in the general. Endorse him now to strengthen his momentum. We need a Dem back in the White House, so endorse the candidate with the best chance to win. I'd much rather seen Clinton lose the nomination that watch McCain win the general.

Glenn   February 10th, 2008 4:07 pm ET

John Edwards – You are an outstanding, inspirational person. I would have supported you here in Missouri. With you out, I voted for real change. Please join we the people who are fighting to take back our country from the lobbyists and special interests who write check after check to the benefit of a few and detriment of the majority of us. You know the person who can best bring about that change....BARACK OBAMA.

OBAMA '08 – YES WE CAN

Jared   February 10th, 2008 4:07 pm ET

obama is famous among the rich and well famous and the media gobbles him up which is owned by hmmm the rich and well again famous whereas clinton has the support of the under 30k group edwards should make his decision on what his people wanted- a candiate for the working people which is the role clinton has put her shoes into...politics don't matter what matters is POLICY!
Oh and by the way a pharmaceutical lobbyist ran obama's NH campaign and let's not forget the whole Delko scandal- neither candidate is perfect but Hillary's views are more aligned w/ Edwards :)

Independent   February 10th, 2008 4:06 pm ET

The 9th ward voted for Obama. What more does Edwards wants to know? Would Edwards really endorse "the status quo?"

angelina005   February 10th, 2008 4:04 pm ET

Hopefully we can see Obama Edwards 08..................

Go OBAMA we need unity not division....

Kat, Huntington, West Virginia   February 10th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Yes! Come on Senator Edwards PLEASE make the right decision and support HIllary. She is the best person for the job and we need you to help put her (us) over the top. She can bring the changes you and so many of us want.
Hillary 08

BV   February 10th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Edwards and AL GORE will endorse Obama after he sweeps Maryland, VA, and Washington DC.
Obama/Edwards 08

Dani   February 10th, 2008 4:02 pm ET

Please Edwards, give Obama your voice :)
Obama '08!!!

ennie   February 10th, 2008 4:01 pm ET

This is good Obama Edwards sounds good to me

john   February 10th, 2008 3:59 pm ET

Come on Edwards!

Also have heard a rumor of a potential Gore endorsement of Obama!

Barber   February 10th, 2008 3:59 pm ET

Did he get a haircut first?

Bubba   February 10th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

Losers consoling losers...

PK   February 10th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

He should endorse Hillary, most of the poor people vote for her, not Obama.
