Edwards should make the smart decicion and endorse Obama.

You would have to ask, Another John; that question.

Edwards announced in front of poor blacks who suffered from the events surrounding Hurricane Katrina. That vary district voted overwhelmingly for Obama.

Does Edwards still support those poor people or did he just use them? We will know the answer to that question by who he endorses.

We highly respect John Edwards.

It's up to him, of course, but we hope he supports Clinton.

Why?

She is more experienced.

Why not Obama?

He rudely insulted the people of Pennsylvania, and we do not need a president who slams the American people. This is a seriois concern.

We respect you John Edwards.

The need to stay true to the people and the people wants Sen. OBAMA!
The polls show him with a double digit lead so there is no doubt about it! Dont forget the will of the people who elected their officials!

do not forget that 50 of Edwards staff in NC recently opted and joined Obama's camp …always give the full story please….

OBAMA '08

I don't understand the reason the edwards will endorse clinton when he was running a campaign aganist washington insiders. Clinton is a washington insider. It calls to question whether he believes the system in washington is broken or he just said it in order to receive votes. If the latter is true, it will be disappointing that he flip flopped on his position. Second, the article has not addressed the 49 mayors as well as the national co-chair of edwards endorsing Obama. It is possible that the edwards might endorse Obama. Lets see what happens.

Hopefully Edwards will endorse the better candidate….Hillary Clinton….

A health care mandate (a mandate to BUY health insurance) will not work with the Republicans - for many good reasons ! I am a Democrat, and I don't want to see a mandate. I want health care to be affordable for all Americans! REALLY affordable ! But it should not be a mandate like a tax.

What happens when do don't pay your taxes ? What would happen if you don't sign up for Hillary Care ?

Plus, she is being paid by the Pharma and Insurance Industry … would be be working for us or selling for them ?

Wolf, read our lips. Clinton will never, ever get the numbers she would need to overtake Obama. It's been stated numerous times as well that endorsements don't change the minds of the people that much.

They only count if they're yours.

Edwards seems like a decent guy, I can't believe he would endorse all the lying, negative, unscrupulous behavior coming out of the Clinton camp.

I think that it is irresponsible for a leader not to lead their people to whom they feel would be the best candidate. The leaders personally know the candidates. They can read between the lines of the speeches. Not to say that the people have to follow their leaders, but the leaders should at least stick their necks out and lead. Isn't that what they're getting paid for. Especially due to the fact that they know who they want to support. They're just being lame and that's not fair to the people they are leading.

Of course an article by Blitzer is slanted towards Hillary. Just come out and tell everyone you support her, Wolf.

Thyey will be like the rest of us she for Clinton, he for Obama sound like my house

Come on John, time for you to endorse Hillary , as your wife does. This will give Hillary the edge she needes to cinch the nomination and put an end to all this. Obama can be VP and in eight years, he can become president, giving the dems 16 years of rule to set things right again.

Gore needs to come out for Hillary too.

Hillary/Obama 2008/2016

Obama/? 2016

I don't udnerstand why this is so difficult nothing is gonna change after these last states. Obama wil still be ahead and Hilary will be trailing behind. Superdelegates please make a decison so we can move on.

Boo Edwards!!! Boo Clinton!!! Boo Obama!!! Go McCain!!!

Funny-I heard he was leaning more towards Obama AND wasn't it like 40 something of Edwards' supporters have outwardly supported Obama? I guess we won't know until he makes a move, which I agree people need to be a bit more agressive in picking their candidate and quit hedging their bets!

Obama 08

Edwards will lose all credibility if he suuports Clinton after all he said about being for change and then claiming Clinton was trying to maintain the status quo. Obama would be the better choice, that or stay out of it all together.

The Edwards need to pick a candidate now or never =)

49 former Edwards supporters/advisors have endorsed Obama…I doubt they would have done so without consulting Edwards first. This hardly appears to favor Clinton…whatever CNN…

Obama 08

Edwards would not endorse Hillary. His wife would do good to keep quiet and let the good senator speak for himself. Sen. Edwards' is a politician and wouldn't harm his own party, unlike Hillary Clinton and her advisers. Obama is more like Edwards anyway! OBAMA 08!

If Edwards doesn't want to be labeled a hypocrite, he will choose Obama… IF he chooses Hillary, his speech in LA and everything he ran for is a lie.

How can Cnn claim that a lot of former Edwards aids are endorsing Clinton when the fact is that must have endorsed Barack Obama.

Edwards' platform is more aligned with Clinton's than Obama's, so he should support her. Even if he doesn't enjoy her personality as much as he does Obama's–this isn't a personality contest. It's a race about the issues and who has the best way to end the war, fix the economy, keep us safe from terrorist attacks, and repair our relations with foreign nations.

being from NC, I can't believe the national love-fest Edwards has gotten after dropping out considering the sentiment to him over the past years. Just four years ago he was deemed too inexperienced. Hell…that was the knock on him this year too. Funny thing is, Obama has more political experience than Edwards.

I have a feeling that the opinion of this family is divisive, which would finally keep them short of endorsing any of them.

For the good of the Democratic party he should endorse Obama. Why would he want to influence the American people that we need to keep the same old dirty politic in the White House by endorsing Clinton.

I think it may be too late for some of Edward's supporters.

Many have already become Independents–and given the choices–will probably just give up and vote Libertarian–especially now that a party platform eliminating the war on drugs. No government on my back–and reefer too!! Go Libertarians!!!

I am sure if John or Elizabeth endorse Hillary, the Obama supporters will do there best to destroy him also.

Obama people. Stop using race as an excuse. Stop using level of education as an excuse. Stop the bashing and talk about the issues, if you can. You hardly see a positive Obama supporter that talks about his plans( details, not retoric) and all you see is Obama people tearing down Clinton.

It will be the Obama supporters fault if Obama loses. The constant thing I hear everywhere I go is how negative and hateful his supporters are and how that does not gel with his hope and change retoric.

Stop the anti-Clinton hate, be proud of your candidate and blog about the issues. I can tell you from reading your post for 6 months, you education argument is lacking. If having a degree makes you hateful, I will give mine back.

Grow up, stop attacking a person who has dedicated their life to public service to support your reasons why Obama should be President.

We know he wants to endorse Hilary, so his best move was when he push the wife ahead to say she supports Hilary's Health Care against Obama's.

Why dont' you just come out of the closet Mr. Edwards. Why are you hiding in that mask of yours.

Come out an endorse Hilary, that's what you want any way. No one will bite you, you are a citizen, don't you?
You are a free man to make your own decision, that's why I respect Bill Richardson

Race will be too much of a distraction/issue in an Obama presidency.

There has been a ridiculous hyper-sensitivity in this campaign to any slight reference to race.

There WAS and still IS nothing racist about Bill Clinton's comments. I am biracial. Trust me. There is nothing racist about stating the obvious- that Jesse Jackson won in SC- helped by being black.

Obama now carries the black vote- why? Because he is black.

Edwards would lose all credibility if he endorsed Clinton. Others would have long memories should he decide to try again in 2012. He certainly wold lose the majority of the African American community…the man is no fool…better he not endorse at all.

Edwards for Clinton, I hope.

Edward should stop being a Chicken. The party is going down the drain. He should be a man and speak up. We need him now.

get off th fence Edwards. is he a superdelegate?

After Obama's comments in San Francisco, I doubt Edwards will back him.

Senator Edwards, you were my candidate. Unfortunately, you didn't make it. Since Hillary is my second choice due to the fact that I'm a woman, I will support her. People called her "LIAR" among other things but I will support her because she's been tested over and over again. I know now that no matter what the circumstance she will never quit to do the right thing for the American people. I hope you will support her.

I supported John Edwards and will lose all respect for him if he supports Clinton and her outrageously dishonest campaign; trigger happy foreign policy; and un-abashed corporate interests.

Elizabeth Edwards-another brilliant, courageous, inspiring, tenacious woman.

Mr. Edwards - Please, please, please - go for hope and not hate. You have been a public servant of integrity and a voice for all. Please speak up now (and please do it for Senator Obama). God speed!

Susan MO:

He did not rudely insult PA. You people should read. He was answering a question. He asked the foot soldiers to be understanding when they talk to the voters in PA, because of what they have gone through……

But you wouldn't know that because you listen to everything the backyardigans say at camp sillary………

"Reading is FUNdamental, and Educational."

I don't understand your statement that some of Edward's former aids also appear to support Clinton when 48 of them came out for Obama earlier this week.

Edwards simply can't endorse Clinton and not be labeled a hypocrite, and some will say worse.

You obviously want power to do something good, or you would not have run for President. You now have the power to do something good for your party and your county.

Endorse Obama…

It's a win! win!

Timing is everything… soon you will be powerless! Your vote won't count for anything.

Someone needs to stop the Clinton's, I think they have both gone off the deep end!

I hope Edwards & his wife endorse Sen Clinton & campaign for her in North Carolina. That would help her to close the gap. Who knows–she may even win North Carolina with their help!

Don't be afraid of the wrath of the OZombies! She needs it now to put her over the top.

He would be a very brave man to risk the Obama thugs calling him all manner of names, but I think a lot of americans would be very happy for his support. I don't want a cult, fear based leader in the Whitehouse.

I hope he won't cave in to the Obama lies.

Go Hillary!

If Edwards endorsed Hillary, he will shoot his political career in the foot!

Elizabeth Edward said “I just have more confidence in Sen. Clinton’s policies than Sen. Obama’s on this particular issue.” THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE, she did not say overall. I thinks it's Obama…..

If we are to talk about healthcare….

I have a very big question…..

Will Hillary's healthcare cover all AMERICANS….or everyone in this country?

Reason I want to know….becuase I am sick and tired of paying for the frealoaders that cross into this country illegally and suck the life out of all of the resources that AMERICANS pay into.

Im tired of paying for the dead weight.

If we could ever have a debate that didnt surround flag pins, race and gender…maybe my question could be answered.

If Edwards endorses Hillary, he will shoot his political career in the foot!

No Edwards would not lose credibility - Edwards would actually get everyone off the Obama Kool aid drink their on and see that he is to new to be President!!

Wakeup America if this primary is over today - McCain will stil beat Obama!!! Rev. Wright and other things we have learned yet because we know nothing about Obama would hinder his chances in GE.

You complain about HRC tactics wait until the real deal come i.e Republicans

I hope Senator Edwards endorses Hillary as she is the one who could win the election for the Democrats. Thoughout the campaign, Hillary has been very substantive in speaking to the issues. She knows how to articulate her ideas and her positions on the issues, and she, as President, would know how to work with men and women in Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, in bringing about solutions to the various issues facing U.S. citizens today.

Wonder who Wolf is for in this campaign.

Edwards called Hillary "Bush/Cheney Lite" at some point.

If he endorses her, he really will be the phony he's always seemed to be.

===it doesn't matter, i dont like it when people just follow the wind..
as american he should've made up his mind by now===

John does whatever his wife tells him to do. Yall should be asking Elizabeth whom SHE endorses.

Let's go Edwards! Join the team that can actually take on the GOP in the fall, not the one who "hopes" he can.

I don't believe that John Edwards would lose any credibility if he endorsed Hillary Clinton. Just because some of his followers are endorsing Obama doesn't really tell anyone that his decision would be the same. Why can't people just leave him alone and he will make up his mind when the time is right for him. The decision is for John Edwards and him alone. Of course, I would be disappointed if he chose Obama, but I truly believe that there might be a chance for endorsement of Senator Clinton. Either way, we have to wait on his decision. You know what they say about being too hasty. Will wait anxiously and hope he makes the right choice from his heart. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They'll go with Obama. Just trying to announce at the perfect time. Clinton wouldn't want Edwards as vice president, the spot he really wants now.

The ultimate irony for the Obama supporters (the smart, educated people) to ponder:

IF Obama is the democratic party nominee it will be because the Washington Insiders that he speaks against (Super delegates) GIVE it to him.

It will NOT be because he convinced the electorate with his inspiring message of hope and change.

Hillary Clinton has done as well without the hype of hope and the media bias and the celebrity bandwagon.

CLINTON /EDWARDS 2008 YEAH !!!!

Gotta love Johnny!! He was so cute on the Colbert Report

And Elizabeth is awesome!! Love that lady!

I respect their choice whatever it may be (though I really really wish they endorse Clinton).

We all know he "MAY" say Obama….

Elizabeth Edwards however indicates she likes Hillary's Health care plan better (Due to it being similar to Johns).

Who knows and who cares. All the endorsements and defections over to camp Obama has done nothing but motivate the Clintons, you can't get rid of em and that's who we need as our President.

Go Hillary!

I hope he endorses someone that isn't a liar and makes up stories to justify her a win, and a husband that thinks, because he helped people out they owe them something.

AS A NC VOTER, if Edwards endorses Clinton, WE WILL NOT FORGET!!!

HE WILL LOSE SERIOUS CREDIBILITY.

EVEN IF HIS MEETING DID NOT GO WELL WITH OBAMA- It is hard to deny that Obama is better for this country than Clinton-even though they favor her healthcare policy.

The voters will have the last say in Nov. It doesn't matter what the big shots do now.

I suspect John Edwards hasn't endorsed anyone yet because he knows if he endorses Clinton he will be accused of racism. Anyone who doesn't like Obama is accused of racism!!! The Obama people just cannot accept that some people just don't like him and don't want him to be the nominee or the president!

John Edwards is a smart man he will support the right candidate…..and I believe that's Hillary Clinton.

I think he enjoys holding the power his endorsement would have!! Anyone who hasn't endorsed by now should waive their right to vote!

I'm sure he'll support Hillary…

I think Edwards is trying to play it safe. He's leaning toward Clinton but probably wants a good cabinet position should Obama win. Clinton needs Edwards in North Carolina, Obama doesn't. It'll be interesting to see if he comes out. If Clinton has him she'll play him next week to get maximum impact.

many of Clinton supporters are bigots. that is why we shouldnt support Clinton

Hillary has ridden on the coat tails of her husband's presidency. Obama, a virtually unkown, has ridden on Hope and Inspiration and carries a little more than half of the country. Why is that she cannot close the deal?

Yes make up your mind already John! Quit playing it safe and tell us.

Hilary Clinton:2008 :: Ralph Nader:2000

john Edwards is going to make the right decision and vote for HILLARY CLINTON…… There ethics are the same. What there going to change for the people who need health care are same. ect…..

VotingFOR HILLARY:

John should come out and endorse Barrack. Let Elizabeth, the non-super-delegate, endorse Hillary. I think John would be a strong VP candidate, but he needs to get off the fence already, and bring Al Gore with him!

BTW, I think the Hillary supporters are getting way too emotionally involved that they are blind to her slimy, say-anything, debate-anything tactics. There are going to be a lot of Hill-tears when she eventually doesn't get the nomination.

If Edwards endorses Clinton, it will damage his political future.

Edwards also benefits if Obama is taken down because it improves Edwards' chances in future primaries.

The right thing to do, John, is endorse Obama, even if it postpones your own shot at the WH for 8 more years.

Not only should he endorse her, but he should be her VP. What a great ticket that would make. He is a wonderful person and I would be so honored to have with us.

I hope that John Edwards comes out in support of Hillary Clinton. His campaign is more in line with Hillary's than Obama's. We do need universal health care for everyone.

WHO CARES? It's too late for Edwards to make an impact on anything…I was wondering, why you didn' even MENTION that Edwards' whole TEAM OF 49 meyers, lawers, businessmen + 3 congressmen endorsed Obama. in NC.. Tht is much more important than Edwards or his wife (Who is she in this race?) But for you it is not, because it is a BAD NEWS for your protege HRC!!

Edward, please endorse Hillary now! and be her running mate. I think both of u can beat McCain in the GE easily.

Hillary/Edward 08! and beyond.

I very recently heard John Edwards speak at a fundraiser, and I left feeling that he leaned towards Obama. While he spoke evenly about both of their strengths, his rhetoric matched Obama's, by stating "we need a strong leader with a clear vision to lead us through so many issues plaguing the nation." Obama came out the very next day and said almost the exact same soundbite on the trail.

I hope he endorses Hillary, because she is the one to beat McCain. We do need a strong leader with a clear vision, but also one with the experience of having navigated the bureauracy in D.C.. Someone who has tried to push her healthcare plan through once before. If at first you don't succeed try try again. Hillary is tenacious and she is fighting hard for all the right reasons.

If Hillary supporters attack Obama's rhetoric, we do so, because we believe she is the ONE that can get the job done. When Obama supporters attack Hillary's character, watch out, we strengthen in droves. It is not a popularity contest that wins you the Whitehouse, as Bush proved in '04. Kerry couldn't seal the deal. Hillary is the REAL DEAL.

John don't make a mistake here. If you want a political career don't be a traitor and follow the Secretary Killer, Medal thrower, Mexican turn-coat on his own people and a big-mouthed woman PELOSI who has done absolutely nothing as speaker of the house. Certainly your not thinking Obama. I give you credit for having morse sense than that.

VoTING FOR HILLARY… Shame on YOU… You are Racist and stupid… Go and learn more about American History..SHAME ON YOU

For sure , Mr. Edwards is leaning to Obama, otherwise it is much hard to believe that most of this aides would endorse Obama without consulting his opinion. But the problem is Mrs. Edwards, who might be leaning to Hillary because of health care plan, or the woman factor.

On the other hand, Edwards is calculating. If he endorses Obama and Obama finally win the NC, how much credit he would get as Obama is holding a big lead in the poll. If he endorses Clinton, well, it is a gamble and I don't think he would risk his political life to do so , especially when his campagne is all against Washington insider.

So he will keep silence.

Hillary and Edward is a dream ticket.

Can somebody please tell me what it is John Edwards has ever done to warrant such clout? He served one term in the Senate and has been serving his own interests ever since. The Clintons have criticized Sen Obama for being nothing more than an enigmatic speechwriter, but what exactly has Edwards accomplished and what about him or his lifestyle demonstrates his commitment to the poor and down-trodden? Certainly not getting a $400 haircut.

Who cares who Edwards endorses? He's a pretty face who has fooled some people but not all of them. Let the narcissist keep his endorsement to himself.

the lady who voted for hillary
you are a racist
john edwards does not look at colors, he would denouce you big time

Then why doesn't Hillary provide health care to her campaign workers?

Jonh Edwards with not go with Hillary just because his wife likes Hillary's health plan.

Just because one person says they like her health plan doesn't mean they will support her!

To Hillary's supporters —– the race is over! Hillary can't win!
Go Obama!

I disagree with "Voting for Hillary" but why does "60 years old white lady" have to announce she's old white and a woman?

Tim from Philly… Shame on you , you are racist… You racist people are destroying this country… Black, White , Red, Yellow… we all are equal… Go learn American History… You couldn't be who you are today if Black were not in this country… SHAME ON YOU…

On the blogs I'm on, nearly all of Edwards's supporters have gotten behind Obama. Very few found anything they liked in Clinton. So I'd be surprised if Edwards broke ranks with his own people.

If edwards was for hillary he would have endorsed her already!

Edwards would only contradict himself if he chose Clinton!!!

Dream Ticket

Obama/ Edwards 2008

Their programs are very similar and John Edwards knows that very well, I hope.

Not, Edwards will endorse Obama if he plans to stay in politics.

Frank, Missouri… you absolutely right…

But CNN give the whole story - 50 of Edwards' prominent supporters endorsed Obama this week, including his former National General Chairman.

No.

John E. should lean towards Hillary since he and his wife are close on the issues.

John E did not make any racial comments YET he got LESS black votes. More wites have voted for Obama yet Black's stick to blacks.
This does show racial divide within the black community.

Lyn-NJ

ahhhh!!! his an idiot!

See how Blitzer is desperate. you have endorsed John MCcain. why do you worry about democrats. American people are smart.

I can't stana a liar ….. hence, I am for Obama.

Well,
John is having trouble who he want to endorse…What will democrat supporters feels if John endorsed John Mccain?

Gop negative ads will have more of an effect then an Edwards endorsement.

We will know if edward was sincere on change when he does endorse.

I believe John Edwards will support Hillary if he supports either candidate.

He is a very smart man and, like Hillary, truly understands the issues our country faces.

He is a very caring man, like Hillary, who wants to bring up ALL the people.

He should come out with obama to campaign in NC.

Ed your silence is costing the party more than your hair do.

Edwards is pretty much a non factor whoever he ends up endorseing.

I think he will and I am hoping he picks HC. With a win in Indiana and NC will definitely send a message. Come on John…

I think that Edward should make a decision soon. The longer this democratic spat goes on, the more likely a republican will win the presidency.

MAKE A DECISION!

I don't think he is leaning towards Senator Clinton at all. There's no question in my mind that he will endorse Sen. Obama. He should have done it a long time ago.

Frank, Missouri-You don't deserve to call yourself an American. How dare you to say being president is only for whites.

I can't see either John or Elizabeth letting the details of the health care proposal trump the lies and negative tactics coming from Clinton.

And I want John as AG - NOW!

Sad the democrats don't let the people decide who they want to run for president…..instead they leave it up to the "super delegates"

It is probably better for S. Edwards to stay neutral to avoid dividing the party even more!!!

John Edwards is a decent man so I have no doubt he will endorse another decent politican, Senator Obama.

John,

If you are reading this, stay true to your core and back Obama!

Hoosier Values

They better endorse Hilllary, the best choice.

Edwards is closer on the political spectrum to Obama than he is to Clinton. Two words from Obama's mouth to Edwards' ears should seal the deal: Attorney General.

Democrats for Mc Cain!

Senator Edwards:

Did I forget to mention: Hillary/Edwards08

John Edwards always campaign with fair play which makes me think he will be endorsing OBAMA. His wife has the right to vote for Hillary if she wants to.

Go Hillary!!!!

Edwards needs to show leadership. Is he waiting to support the winner of this contest so he could become the next AG?
Make up your mind already and stop playing politics!

There are a lot of misinterpretations and misunderstandings taking place..

I personally think that Hillary should reach out to the african american people and talk to them not for just votes but to unite the conutry…

African american people will give her a chance if she reaches out to them…

Hillary 08.

Too Little Too LATE………….Period

To: Voting for Hillary

You are a foolish racist bigot. You don't belong in my America.

Edwards should endorse Clinton. Her policies are closer to his.

Thank God Edwards quit. if he can't make a decision by now this was not the man we wanted to make the quick response decisions that Hillary will have to make.

>>He rudely insulted the people of Pennsylvania,

No, he did not. Not this gun-owning, churchgoing Democrat at any rate. Please stop telling me what offends me, I'm quite capable of figuring that out on my own.

I think they'll back Clinton and make NC close. But I really hope not.

If I was mandated to take my companies health insurance I would lose my house.

Edwards should be CAREFUL not to align themselves

with the democratic suicide bombers - Hillary and Bill

Take down the party with them if they can't be the leaders.

I interpret Hillary's recent comments to mean that

SHE TOO will vote for McCain.

two faced snaked toungue scum!

They do NOT have this country's best interests in mind, only their own!

Jill in Chicago: (I like your post, although I support Obama, by the way)

You said "Hillary is tenacious and she is fighting hard for all the right reasons."

I had to chuckle at that because she fights hard, but there isn't anything "right" about her" reasons"!

john edwards would be a fool not to endorse obama. every major endorsement edwards had went to obama after edwards dropped out of the race. this should send edwards a vital message. However edwards will not committ to endorsing anybody. Mrs.Edwards for that matter couldnt even give a valid reason why she endorsed hillary healthcare plan versus obama she was stuck….. i witnessed this on an interview she did 2 weeks ago! Bottomline who cares who edwards may endorse he should just stay on the sidelines

For those of you who are making this a black and/or white issue, you are ignorant. Edwards is a fine man. I feel he should endorse the person who wins his state which at this point looks like it may be Obama. However, Kerry, Kennedy and Richardson didn't go the way of their constituents so if Edwards endorses Hillary, it would be fair by Dem standards. I am hoping that whoever wins…Obama or Hillary…they would give Edwards serious consideration for Attorney General. He would be awesome at that job. In our current state of affairs we need a great AG.

Jill in Chicago: (I like your post, although I support Obama, by the way)

You said "Hillary is tenacious and she is fighting hard for all the right reasons."

I had to chuckle at that because she fights hard, but there isn't anything "right" about her" reasons"!

If Edwards is true to himself, he will back Obama. At every chance during the debates, he likened himself to Obama, wiling to bring change to Washington as an outsider. My fear, however, is that Hillary has once again bought his support with a promise of a cabinet position, or even the VP job. If he supports Clinton, it will be because of a backroom deal, like so many of Hillary's are.

Are there really people out there who would change there vote based on what Edwards thinks. If he can't make up his mind for months, he must be confused and should not be given any weight. He could have made a difference a long time ago, but he met with the candidates to get a sweetheart deal and they told him to yalk a walk, a very long walk. I guess he is hoping his opinion will have more value if he waits.

Whoever flies Senator Edwards to an exotic place in Europe to the most expensive hair cut spa will win his backing.
