Sounds to me like the two parties would just rather meet without all the media frenzy.

He called both candidates to tell them he was dropping out of the race, and he'll speak to both candidates before making an endorsement, if he does at all.

you guys making big mistake, none of them going to president, even if you vote for hillary or obama, john mcCain will take over. just think about little bit, even though i' m big fance of obama. i wish all the best of obama. i guess john edward feeling jealous because people didn't votes for him.

Edwards is handling this like a huckster – offering his endorsement to the highest bidder. Regardless of who he endorses at this point – he comes off looking tainted.

if John Edwards is smart he will ask Obama to consider him for a post if he endorses his campagne because Edwards always said Hillary couldn't go against corporations because she is sponsored by them and she represents the old statusquo, so we will see what his mindset is like!

As an Edwards supporter, I only hope he stays away from both of these phonies. Their supporters are such haters.

It's all about the bigger better deal. If he goes with Hillary, he will seem like a hypocrite. If he goes with Obama at least he saves face since their core message of change resonates with both. Cabinet position? AG or Sec of Labor?

Barack NEEDS John as his VP, forget about Richardson or Biden, without Edwards, Omaba can't get 270. It's the South, stupid.

WOW, you are right Hillary can walk the walk and talk the talk she just can't deliver!! It's just the same ole same ole with the Clinton's it is just spun differently here and there to make people think they will really change something! I think we are foolish to think change is on the horizon if THEY are elected!!

I think Hillary would fight harder for what she believes in than Obama, and I think the people that voted for Edwards are more along the lines of Hillary's supporters. Obama gets the affluent, educated, very liberal, young, and African American voters (that's what the "polls" say anyway).

Go Hillary.

Edwards is twofer. He is a super-delegate and has many people who supported his campaign.

From my chair Edwards is being smart and working for his constituents (the people of the US). If I were him I'd probably do the same thing. I would talk to both candidates, see what I could get out of the candidates to further my agenda, and then run with the horse that gives me the most, while not compromising personal integrity.

"Compromising personal integrity," may prove to be debateable but I think John Edwards is doing what any good political figure would/should do.

once a trial lawyer, always a trial laywer...what's in it for me? Edwards can keep his endorsement, we're doing great with out it now and we'll continue to take every state all the way to the nomination. YES WE CAN!!!!!!

OBAMA = TED KENNEDY + TOM DASCHLE + JOHN KERRY

VERY VERY SCARY!!!!!!!!! PUTRID LIBERAL LEFT OF THE LEFT TO SAY THE LEAST.....

GO HILLARY!!!!!!

Edwards and Gore will endorse Obama by the end of the Potomac Primary.

The only thing that would be surprising out of this is if Edwards endorses Hillary. That would mean Edwards had sold his soul. I sure hope he hasn't.

I'm with Obi, I don't want Obama prostituting himself for an Edwards endorsement. If he didn't know who he preferred when he ended his race just how credible is his endorsement? Looks more like "politics as usual"...give it to Clinton.

Interseting point!

I agree with the above comment, Edwards is just seeking for favors from both candidates...quite stale for endorsements, hold your peace.

Edwards is playing a game of the 'old washington politics'. I'm not bother though my vote is for change 'OBAMA'!

Edwards is pretty much irrelevant because he got very few votes. What an oversized ego!

Its a moot point but it would be nice if he endorsed Obama. I believe they would be a strong team.

I voted for Hillary and if she not going to win the nomination, I will vote for John McCain (not Obama for sure).

I agree with S.A. Not sure way he waited so long. I like Edwards and I supported him in the past and will support him in the future. He needed to come out for Obama weeks ago I find it hard to believe he didn't.

Obama Edwards 2008 thats the dream ticket.

I think Edwards shouldn't endore either Hillary or Obama. It was already a mess and very tie for degates from each of them. Stay away from the batle, please.

The Edwards endorsement , if he even does provide one, could be valuable. First of all there is a possibility that Edwards may just free his delegates. If he does endorse one of the candidates, there are the 26 Edwards delegates plus potentially his Florida delegates if the DNC want to seat Florida. In a tight race those 26+ delegates may play a role. That being said I am not sure if a slim margin of delegates, for one candidate over another, at the end of this primary process, is enough of a mandate to sway the superdelegates. It will all boil down to them. The remaining states and the unresolved issues with Michigan and Florida may be moot as it is turning out. At this point it appaears that the only way a clear candidate will emerge is if Obama makes headway in Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Its Clinton's edge in those states to lose. The superdelegates would have an awful time supporting a candidate who is clearly behind the other after the primaries.

This is better than watching daytime drama soaps.

Borat and the Breck guy

Gets better by the day, LOL

A cancellation and no alternate meeting date scheduled. Hmmm..this doesn't look good for Obama.

i think this is bad news for obama. because this was going to be a slam dunk indorsement for him. i now think he is going to endorse hillary clinton because he meets with her thursday, then he meets with his advisors saturday night. the he cancels his meeting with obama monday. obamas camp can say what they want they say the meeting will still take place but they have know idea when. i think this is all spin on their part. when you look at this as a realist this is bad news for obama

"I ain't sayin he's a golddigger.........." LOL

Pathetic

Edwards endorsement will be good but not decisive.His policies are more in tune with Hillary's so that would be a natural choice.

Once again, an arrogant Obama turns his back on an influential member of his own party. But then again, what else can we expect from the man who snubbed Hillary and then lied about it and got his puppet McClaskee (or whatever her name is) to back him up even though it was on video.

Seems Obama thinks he doesn't need anyone as long as the media is on his side.......as they have been from the beginning.

I look forward to hearing what Edwards has to say ... unfortunately i don't think he will carry much weight. He didn't carry much in the earlier campaign when he was involved and so i'm not sure if he would have faded even more now.

Madame Senator, we don't even need him ... (do what you please Edwards)

Go Hilary '08

...DOES IT REALLY MATTER WHO EDWARDS ENDORSES?...SEEMS LIKE A RESUME' FOR VICE PRESIDENT AT THIS POINT, ALTHOUGH HE AND OBAMA WOULD MAKE A GOOD TICKET.....BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE GORE!

When Edwards dropped out, I told myself that if he endorsed someone before Super Tuesday it meant that he was endorsing on principles in order to help the candidate out when it would matter the most. If he waited until after Super Tuesday, I said he would endorse the candidate with the most momentum in hopes of "getting something" out of the endorsement like a VP slot or cabinet position. I'm sort of disappointed that he dragged his feet. And this is coming from a previous Edwards supporter! With this analysis in mind, I predict he will endorse Obama, who appears to have the big MO right now.

I really don't see how Edwards could endorse Hillary after calling her the status quo candidate many times. I hope to see him endorse Obama soon, but I honestly don't think it matters. He has the momentum. He's received the most votes. He's won the most deligates. He's going to be our NEXT PRESIDENT!!!

Edwards should not endorse either candidate. No one votes according to who endorses who. This is a mistake many are making, hope John Edwards is not one of them.

My thoughts exactly! I agree with S.A.

He would be the biggest hypocrite if he endorses senator Clinton after all that talk about not taking lobbyist money towards a campign.

Obama 08

i hope edwards makes the right choise and endorses hillary clinton so he has a chance to get a position in the democrat party somewhere we need him in our party real bad he has great ideas.

Obama should win the Ohio and Texas primaries to prove that he should be the nominee. Isn't overcoming all odds and bringing people together his strengths? Then i guess he doesn't need endorsements.

Let's see...

man edwards is milking this thing for all it's worth. A part of me is hoping he endorses hillary cuz his character is starting to look a little suspect. Id rather he chose hillary than choose obama with his ulterior motives.

It doesn't matter to me who he endorses.. I'll be voting for Hillary Clinton.

Maybe Barack is blowing him off because he does not think he needs him

Edwards is playing games and Obama probably gets it. Endorse Hillary Edwards and throw everything you stand for out the window.

Matters not, one way or the other; Edwards is last month's news. But while we're thinking about it, why would anyone need to "huddle" with advisors on something that should be a personal declaration. How silly. All part of why people, especially young people, look at politics and go "yuck!" Wonder why you didn't make it through to the final Mr. Edwards?

A little political triangulation on Edwards' part???? I am just amazed and disappointed at Edwards. When Giuliani dropped out, he immediately endorsed John McCain. If Edwards endorses Hillary, the little creditability he had with me will be gone. Edwards made such as fuss of labeling Hillary Clinton as the "status quo" candidate, the "Washington Insider" candidate, and the "Corporate lobby-interest" candidate throughout late 2007. Edwards's endorsement of Obama should be a no-brainer. But the longer he waits, the more irrelevant his endorsement will become.

Obama in 08!

If Edwards were to endorse Hillary he would lose all credibility. Edwards has talked about returning government to the people and eliminating poverty yet Clinton is a pawn of the special interest and lobbyist who want to maintain power in the hands of a select few.

Unlike Edwards and Obama Hillary grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth and never once experienced what it was like to deal with the pressure of poverty.

Obama was raised by single mother with little to no money and he worked as a community organizer helping the poor people of Chicago so there is no question he better understands the pains of poverty more than Hillary Rodham Clinton

I hope that Edwards stays with his anti-lobbyist, anti-status quo message. If he endorses Clinton, one would be wondering what deals Clinton has got him into. In any case, his endorsement says more about who he is than about his suppoters' votes.

The only thing that would be surprising out of this is if Edwards endorses Hillary. That would mean Edwards had sold his soul. I hope he hasn't.

go move Obama!

Let's have the meeting and the endorsement after the potomac primaries!

OBAMA would have won Washingtom DC, Maryland and Virginia by then!

WAY TO GO OBAMA!!!

Edwards really dragged this endorsement thing out so long it seems irrelevant at this point. I can only see him wanting to meet in order to get some benefit out of it.

Edwards to endorse Obama on prime time television on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Hillary is right. And its curtains for the Republicans no matter which way you slice it for the Democratic front-runners.
