Sounds like they HAVE decided - and disagree.

Sounds like Elizabeth may be the boss in the family. Why didn't she run?

I think that a big win in NC today will sway them and others to the Obama winning team!!

I wondering why Elizabeth roll her eyes

I truly like Edwards and, of course, I admire Elizabeth's courage and intelligence. However, they should have endorsed one of the candidate's immediately following his depature from the campaign trail.

Old news move on already…

Sound like they are for HILLARY all the way!

Of course he is not commenting until he sees who gets the nomination.

A roll of eyes? This is reflective of how many whites feel. She could have said it was a great symbolic thing for both…female and African American, but the race issue is greater than we want to admit. It's just true! People will often support people who look like them.

I LIVE IN NC. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE CLOUT THE MEDIA WANT US TO THINK THEY HAVE.

I have a great deal of respect for Mr. Edwards, and with him being a potential VP for either candidate I can understand why he is playing his cards close to the vest. Whoever wins the nomination, would be lucky to have him as a running mate because he would strengthen either ticket.

Sen. Hillary Clinton has facts and Sen. Obama has acts.

This is clear endoresement for Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Mr/Mrs. Edward are great. Thanks

He doesn't need more time to think. He's just waiting to endorse the winner. Sad, but true.

SYMBOLIC ?

PRETTY MUCH WHAT BILL CLINTON SAID.

THAT STATEMENT PART OF THE OLD POLITICS.

JUST MADE YOURSELF NOT ELECTABLE TO ANYTHING.

NEVER THOUGHT WE WOULD HEAR THAT FROM EDWARDS.

AND WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE EDWARDS RUN FOR THE

PRESIDENCY? A LOT LESS THAN SYMBOLIC

How come CNN doesn't have any people of color reporting as anchors instead of the ALL WHITE anchors? To me it seems they interpet the results of voting for only the white voters and they don't reflect the fast growing minority views/votes at all. We're not not all white bread and butter out here in America,

Goodness, true elitist like John Edwards is wishy washy - one reason why he has never been nationally that successful (aside from the fact he is an ambulance chaser)

who the hell cares what the edwards say. obama will survive with out them. hillarys health has been in the spotlight for 15 years and went no where. john e run for office and failed, there you have it. he is waiting to try to see who wins so he can jump in for vp.which i feel he would not be capable of being a vp. i am suprized hill did not offer it to him just to get his vote, but he proubly knows she would change her mind. people he is not the decider in this. the people have spoke

cnn please post this,i doubt you do

Edwards, make-up your mind already!

Go Hillary!!!

John is just waiting to see who wins so he can be picked to have a place in that administration. He was never going to come out and endorse a candidate anyway.

I am a middle aged Black Woman who thinks both would be a "great symbolic thing:" However, an African American to win and be seen as just 'An American' would be the bigger prize.

Obama 08-12

Edward is for Obama

Elizabeth is for Hillary

This is the reason why they are holding back. Elizabeth would kick John Edward's butt if he goes out to endorse Obama.

Well, that's not a decision at all - sounds as if thay would endorse both..

time that they came out. Now I would like to hear who they endorse.

Obama with no substance? lool. exactly right. hehe.

go Hill…

NO ONE NEEDS THEIR ENDORSEMENTS NOW, AND THEY WERE NOT THAT IMPORTANT TO BEGIN WITH.

rolling her eyes !
wow
Mrs. Edwards just lost my respect.
Sometimes actions speak louder than words

I was orginally for Edwards. It was a hard decision to make after he dropped out but I ultimately decided on Obama. Clinton just doesn't seem trustworthy and I am tired of the old politics. I wish Edwards would have endorsed someone before now but I think he just wants to wait awhile.

NO to vote pandering and political gimmicks !
NO to cowboy diplomacy !
NO to manipulations and Sniper Fire !
YES to true judgement on IRAQ !
YES to a new, principled, and non-partisan dynamic in Washington !
YES to honor, and uniting and transcending race and party !

Lets Get Real, and Close the Deal !!! Obama.

I enjoy most of your articles CNN, but please learn how to spell (plan instead of "plane").

Read between the lines. There is an Obama endorsement there.

Go Obama!

Exactly John Edwards…Clinton equal SAME OLD POLITICS!!! Period.

as for health care…I dont want the government telling me what I need. with Obamas( health care) I have a choice and a lower premium..appx 210$ a month. THATS REAL.

CNN POST THIS!!!!!

CNN please explain how Obama now trails Clinton in Super Delegates by only 14 but not one story has covered this change. That amount of SD's erases HRC's delegate gain in Penn. Why no coverage on this, looks fishy from an independent's viewpoint. Please could someone help explain this.

Elizabeth said it herself - Obama is misleading the public. Some "Change" agent he is. Clearly, the Edwards endorse Hillary.

"John Edwards later added he thinks it’s a "great symbolic thing to have an African-American who could be president."

Other people have said this too only in more specific language, such as: He (Obama) is attracting white guilt and black racism. This is why he's so popular among the "new and very liberal democrats".

He's for Obama, she's for Clinton.

I hope John is not being self serving. I would be disappointed in him going with the status quo of Washington. Seems timing is intersting for them to get their points out the day of the primary vote and sounds like Elizabeth wears the ants in the family. hmmm..??

Barack should make him head of the health care industry.

Barack Obama/Joe Biden

It sounds like John Edwards is a yes man. His endorsement now is to late to make a difference so people should just stop worrying about it.

Go OBAMA!!!

The Edwards' seem to have too strong a moral base to be a part of the Clintons shameless,soul selling pattern of life & politicking. Can't see them telling their children this is behavior to emulate.

Mrs Clinton is representing the old politics, while Obama is encouraging the young voters to come out in abandance. I think Obama has good idears. The Gas Holiday is a bad thing we need to reduce the price not a temporay break.

Laura Andre

What a misleading headline. Makes you think they've come to a decision, then you read the article and there's no substance.

This happens all the time on the news. Like yesterday, Wolf announced something like "Want to know who McCain wants to run against in November? Stay tuned for his answer!"

Then after like an hour, they finally get to the story. McCain's answer? "No comment at this time."

Great. Thanks.

So lame he loves Hedge funds and didn't win his home state in the last president election

who the hell cares "" go obama

If you don't make up your mind today just be quiet… What the Hell are you waiting for…?

you want me to believe what these two people, who made millions and milions by suing doctors and hospitals and then become high paid hedge fund opportunists have anything to say about???

GOBAMA!!!!!

Please…end…this…primary season so we can go after Grampy McBush!

Seeing as how Obama's going to win, he should throw in his cards with the big boys and endorse him.

I know that, for all it's proclamations of unbiased news coverage, CNN is very, very biased. We've all heard about the Wright controversies, but what about the current Clinton controversies that are going on right now? I have yet to see a CNN article about that.

I have a lot of respect for the Edwards. From what I read in their comments is they are for Obama, but love Senator Clinton and know she has no chance of getting the nomination.

Another thing. Remember how many people jumped out of windows when the Stock Market crashed in 1929? I wonder how many will jump when Obama is elected president.

Edwards seems to be afraid of the harpy (Hillary) and prefer to wait after the Indiana - N.C race before endorsing Obama so he will have less explaining to do to that shrew.

They are going to endorse Clinton, I don't know why they keep on dragging it on personally I could care less who they endorse. Who is Elizabeth Edwards anyway to even give her opinion. John Edwards seems to be a ok politician, but I think this is all a front because he has known for a long time who he was going to endorse. I really liked him when he was in the race, his views seem sincere.

I think John want to endorse Obama and Elizabeth want to endorse Clinton. It must be difficult for them.

He is scared of Hillary and you are too CNN! sorry to say it. The fact is, she is not worth all the effort you put into her….. She is a human being just like everybody else. So she doesn't win. Our country will be just fine.

Why doesn't he SPEAK clearly? Now they have spoken out of both sides of the fence. What does THE BIBLE say: "Be yeah hot or be yeah cold … if you are luke warm I will spew you our MY mouth."
This could also apply to other Superdelegates: Speak truth to the matter!

Sounded like John wants to endorse Hillary ….but is refraining 'cos he is afraid of offending the popular vote in NC.

THEY SHOULD PICK A SIDE, WE KNOW WHAT THE ONLY THING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IS.

Edwards runs the risk of becoming irrelevant.

You see, if he waits too long, then other superdelegates could decide Hillary's (or Obama's) fate, before he makes his decision. If that happens, then Edwards no longer matters.

This also applies to Jimmy Carter. In fact, Obama would do better WITHOUT Jimmy Carter's endorsement. Then he wouldn't be linked to the guy that met with Hamas. At least he had enough sense to say that it was a bad idea.

I like John Edwards, but who asked Elizabeth??? Also, who will really care about their opinion after today?

If we are waiting for the Edwards couple to make a voting decision, that would be astonishing and detract from thinking for ourselves. Do we think he is that influential? He stated publicly he is not available for the VP spot.

Obama is the better candidate. His health plan is more likely to create some movement in Congress than Hillary's. Hers is too ambitious and grandiose.

Edwards endorsement does not seem to matter to much I dont think. Of course I do not live in NC so I can not be sure but if he lived in Florida I would not really care. I do not see why he waits, I don't think either candidate would choose him as VP. I think he might think we drive around with bumber stickers that say WWJED? (what would john edwards do?)

Truth in politics is an endangered species. Why is Obama always referred to as the "African American" or "Black American" candidate, when his of mixed heritage?

Here comes the HATEFUL, BITTER Obama fans. She rolled her eyes because he ONLY said AA was Symbolic NOT A women and an AA.

GROW UP OBAMA FREAKS!

Who cares what the Edwards say??…I don't listen to them and i don't think their voice 're relevant anymore….. What a joke?

Will-South Dakota. I must ask, are you color blind or have you not watch CNN's reporting lately?

I also think it would be great to have an African-American president. So why didn't they do some background checking on Obama? I dont believe he qualifys.
I wish they would of choosen Major Nutter. but the powers that be could'nt run him, because he has integrity, values,and morals, Instead they chose Obama who has got where he is by being part of the corrupt chicago world of dirty politicians. I secretly hope that Hillary wins and chooses Major Nutter as vp, that would be my dream ticket.

Can you say irrelevant….

correction== pants.. not ants.. although funny.

It would be a great symbolic thing to have an African American who could be President of the United States if it was an African American of substance. Obama is nothing but ego in a suit. I have voted in every single election since I have been eligible, and never supported any republican for any office. If Obama wins the nomination I will be sitting at home. I believe that he will be the Democratic version of G. W. Bush.

CNN reported earlier that Edwards wife endorsed Obamas health care plan! No the report that she is undecided. This is one of the worse news networks (Fox easily beats out CNN as the 'worse ever')

Here's some tie breakers….
who is uniting the country…..who is div id ing it?
who tells the truth no matter what…..who tells lies to get ahead?
who just last year was able to pay off he and his wife's student loans…..who has made $100+?
who takes the high road…..who likes to dig up dirt and throw it?
AND FINALLY….who will make healthcare affordable for everyone…..and who will impose it on you by taking it out of your already low wages?

healthcare is important….but so is eating and paying the rent.

The problem with Obamas change is no one knows what it means.We know what his program and policies are so where's the change, Bill Ayers kind of change or rev Wright or Rezko what change. I think Hillary is much closer to sen Edwards in policy and substance and should get his endorsement His supporters are voting for Hillary anyway.

Could it be Elizabeth rolled her eyes because she thinks John could have one of the obama relatives on the side? He appears to be the type, wouldn't make any difference to him if it was male or female, as long as they were lovers.

Between the line; Edwards is saying that he is jealous of the fact that Obama is a better speaker than he is and that is why he was not getting votes. Remember what he said about Hillary after Iowa? The status quo has LOST!
Elizabeth is saying the same thing like the hubby. She said Obama is energizing and mobillizing a lot of young people to vote who in turn voted for Obama and not her husband.
Oh! and about Hillary, She accepts money from lobbyist and that is why she is still able to finance her campaign unlike her hubby who refused to take lobby-dollar but could not get enough coz the money followed the momentum and the excitment (read Obama!)
So y'all still holding your breath waiting for Elizabeth and Edwards to endorse either of the candidates?

I think it would be great to have a female President also, but shouldn't the 1st female President be special…someone who will have an enduring legacy and be an inspiration to all young women. That certainly is NOT Hillary Clinton. She stood by her man during countless affairs, she's a liar, and an egomaniac.

Elizabeth Edward is a sheer loser…..i never care what she says or thinks….she is a bigot…………..

Obama has no substance - just talk.

Yes, Michelle - let's get back to the issues. What issues have you or your husband actually addressed? It appears to me that Mrs. Clinton has been the only one providing solutions and has the strength to carry them out.

Obama's supporters are dooming our party to a loss this fall against McCain.

Go Team. Yes we can.

African Americans have always known that Elizabeth Edwards is a farce! Guess they took a break from the pandering in New Orleans pretending they cared about the poor Black People.

John and Elizabeth you should know that no one is perfect and if you realized that, you have to make up your mind who to endorse.

Your endorsement really matters today or hold your peace for ever.

No one is perfect and you can't make everything workout for because one man meal is another man's poison.

Choose or foreget about it.
God Bless America and the bold once.

well, i hope they're satisfied…no matter who they WOULD'VE picked….after today, no one will really care…

like the Edwards,…….chill out, lets see how all this plays out tonight!!!!

I love the voter who said John Ed. comments were a clear choice for Hillary. Your just as delusional as she is. He definitely played the fence on his comments, no candidate neither mine (Obama) or yours (Hillary) can claim an endorsement. Be honest. By the way i sure hope the races today end this charade and Hillary goes home to bake brownies while dodging sniper fire.

I was duped to vote republican in the last election. I want to vote Democrat this time, but the negativity of the race is just turning me off. Enough already, select a candidate and lets get this country moving in the right direction once an for all.

I wish it were to be Edward instead of Obama running against Hillary. Edward is so much better than Obama.

Edward,

please do the right thing. Hillary will be a great president.

They'll secretly support Hillary. Don't want to be scrutinized for their decision.

GO HILLARY!!

You know, so much has been made by the Clinton supporters about the fact that the black community is supporting Obama because he is one of them.

But the silence is deafening when the subject comes up of women who are supporting Clinton BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN!!!

And last time I checked, there were a LOT more women than blacks in this country…..

Mike- Raleigh- What facts does HRC have? She has been wrong so many times. Is this what you call experience? She was the front runner from the beginning, lost it. Picked the wrong people to run her camoaign. Had all the advantages. She shouldn't be in this position.

John & Elizabeth Edwards it is time for you to GROW A PAIR !!! iT was this lack of decision making early on which made it impossible for you to win. Now it is time to respect the party and make a decision.

Time to GROW A PAIR JOHN , ELIZABETH PULL UP YOUR BRA STAPS AND BE A REAL WOMAN DECIDE ON THE ONLY DECENT ALTERNATIVE

Obama 08

Seems obvious to me- they BOTH like Hillary, but JE has his political career to keep in mind and has to be cautious.

EE rocks!

It comes down to who can win the national election and that is Hillary Clinton. Obama needs time to get some actual experience, some time to decide that if he is a uniter then he should not have long term relationships with dividers such as Rev. Wright and William Ayers. Michelle Obama needs to realize that we want someone in the White House who is proud of our country but wants to improve it.
Hillary Clinton in 09

"O.H decides, Texas decides, no, its P.A that decides….and oh yeah, if the Edward's pick me then I am definitely the better candidate." Can you guess who would say such ridiculous things? If you say Hillary, YOUR RIGHT ! Tell the contestants what they won BoB !

they r waiting to see the clear winner. shame!

To the Edwards, A power couple indeed. Thank you for the wonderful public service to America. Mrs. Edwards, I wish you Gods strength to you. Annamae Bean

I truly hope that once this is done, and Hillary emerges, the Obamaites can rally behind her. I also pray that the illiteracy I see here is not from Democrats, but from Republicans trying to stir things up and make us think Democrats are stupid. The Edwards' are wonderful, caring people, and I think he could be an excellent VP choice for either one.

Rudy NYC:

For the record, Barack Obama himself has referred to his race as African American. Usually, when someone is of mixed race, if they look black, they call themselves black.

For instance, what would you call Tiger Woods? He's all three races.

John hit it on the head. Everyone is wanting to prove how far we have come. What a great statement."why we are so togther now we voted for a black man!' What crap. Face it folks. People are using anObama vote to make a statement. Why not vote for the candadate who truely can bring about change and not just empty speaches. The only candidate strong enought to take on McCain is Hillary. A vote for Obama is a certain vote for McCain. Obama is way to cloudlike to ever stand up against the Republican Attack Machine. Oh well the super liberals will just make certain we lose again. Remeber the out of touch Kerry?….SO sad that the people are being taken in by this snake oil huckster.

I agree with Will from South Dakota. CNN has selected the last president and oh what a job they did. Look at the results. They were pro Bush. They are equal to FOX.

They missed the train … not more than opportunists

Why would anybody say RACE is the biggest factor in voting for one of the Candidates. I find that hard to believe, because OBAMA is both White & Black, he has the advantage over his Opponent. He can use this to his advantage. I feel sorry for African Americans who think that they are voting for OBAMA only because he's black. When he becomes the President, don't say this isn't the person that I voted for, he's the same person with multi-personalities WE ARE GOING TO SEE BOTH SIDES. WARNING!!!!!! WATCH OUT!!!!!!!!!!

Can McSame stop reading from the teleprompter! Gosh, he sounds just like Bush and is more boring than boring itself…I guess he's too old to memorize them.

Come on Obama..
Edwards will not endorse either candidate untill he knows who will be the clear winner..so that he can join in..
To the path of becoming VP..
Don't ever expect edwards helping anyone he's helping himself

rolling of the eyes? sorry but despite Hillary being a woman she would not represent change for me. She is the same old politices just dressed in a prettier outfit. Her last minute negative and misleading ads demonstrate how she relies on the old way of doing politics. How about NOT attacking your fellow democrat? How about telling us what you WILL do and not what your opponent will NOT do? How about NOT resorting to cheap fear tactics with ads that have Osama bin Laden images? How about NOT pandering to the financially struggling public with a ineffective plan to suspend oil tax? As a woman, I would love to live to see the day of a Madam President but just not this woman. OBAMA represents change!!!

I want to remark on numbers how many superdelegates have endorsed each candidate since the democratic primaries and caucuses began on January 3:
Barack Obama: 130 (68.5 %)
Hillary Clinton: 60 (31.5%)

Go Barack GO

so weird… the Hillary supporters on this website read the same comments as the rest of us, and get from it that they both support Hillary!!
I don't get that at all. I think maybe Eliz supports Hillary, perhaps, but John Edwards supports Obama probably.

I also think they will wait until there is a winner and then endorse. you know politicians, hedging bets as always…….

kind of tired of this back and forth. It's about time you know who you are backing John….
i honestly think too much weight has been given to his endorsement.

""Elizabeth is for Hillary""

All accounts I've read have indicated that, personally, Elizabeth hates Hillary's guts.

It's amusing how many people whose only voice is on this blog (and I know I am in the same boat) keep saying that people with a nationwide podium, such as the Edwards, are irrelevant.

At least they are heard

Should hillary win, would bill bring Monica back to the oval office.?

Why in god's name would anybody with three brain cells care
one wit what these two people say? John Edwards is a wimp,
has always been a wimp, and will always be a wimp. His wife
has always been the head of the household. He could never
get more than 17% of the vote in any primary, and except for
Iowa where he bested Hillary Clinton by less than one-percentage
point, he always came in third after the rest of the field dropped
out. He is a failed senator in his own state, and only ran for
president because he knew he couldn't even win reelection in
his own home state. And he couldn't even deliver his home state
for Kerry.

How did these people ever get to be on the national stage!

They are the Britany Spears of American Politics!

Edwards' delay seems to be based on hiw wife's hesitation to forget the feminism and go with best cabdidate who happens to be a man.

As a non american, watching with interest, it is clear the Rev Wright issue is just a facecard for whites who do not want a black president despite his competence. Instead of being called racist, they rather find another reason to vote against Obama.

The rest of the world is watching America, hope you will do the right thing this time. We cannot afford another mistake such as the past 8 years, and i do not believe Clinton is the solution - sorry, the Clinton dynasty is very suspicious and lacking in credibility

What a pair. We Love you John and ELizabeth!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to hear…on the second ballot the next President of the United States - Al Gore!

Has The Gimmick Candidate announced she promised the Edwards to rename North Carolina to Edwardslina yet?

Hillary Clinton, The Gimmick Candidate
Bill and Hillary, The Gimmick Family
Do and Say Anything ‘08

He's for Obama but his wife won't let him say so.

Maybe that's why the voters rejected his candidacy.

We weren't sure which one of them was running the show.

So if they counted Florida and Michigan, which Hillary won, what then? Would these Obama floaters be so high and freaking mighty? Probably. They seem like an unrealistic bunch, all up.

Perhaps they really would be happy if either candidate was selected as the nominee. There's no harm in that. He isn't a superdelegate so he doens't have to decide.

Besides, he wants a nice cabinet position regardless of who it is, so why would he burn bridges? ha!

Mr. John Edwards .. thanks but no thanks. We know now that you do not have the 'Back Bone' to stand on, how lucky democrats are that you decided to drop out early in the race, and how smart generally Americans are that they figured you out.

It makes me sick, this kind of politics; double standards. Always searching to find the ways to please people and call that politics; while right in front of your eyes is the remarkable character of "Obama' to learn from him, the integrity, honesty, truthfulness, and second to none bening a visionary. It will be the blessed day for all of us, all Americans, the day he takes the oath of the office of president of United Staes; no two ways about that; Mr. Ex-Senator, John Edwards.

A.M. Saqib
Houston, Texas

Since when is Elizabeth a super delegate?

If they didn't endorse prior to NC, then they won't.

With Kerry and Kennedy already out there for Obama, Edwards is holding back so that:
1) he is grouped with Gore as one of the party elders who may have to step in and ask someone to cease and desist for the sake of the party.
2) he has a prominent spot in the new administration.

I've said it before
Like the rest of the Dem. Party they are split 50/50
She is for HIllary
He is for Barack

THAT IS RUDE , THOUGHTLESS & PREJUDICIAL.

EDWARDS JUST CALLED THE WINNER FOR THE

US PRESIDENCY A TOKEN. HE HAS TO BE OUT OF

HIS MIND.

John Edwards is absolutely right when stating that in regard to Obama he wants to see ""more substance under the rhetoric"".

In other words: WHERE IS THE BEEF, Obama???????

Mrs Edwards, I wish you Gods strenghth. (sorry about the typo)

It seems to me that the Edwards do not want to endorse Hillary, but do not want to take credit for being a Clinton traitor, either.

john edwards knows hillary is a better candidate, but he wants to be in on the fun of being on the obama bandwagon! he's like "aw man it would be so cool!" even though he knows hillary is a stronger general election candidate and more effective. elizabeth is right when she talks about their health care plans. obama's is not even close to covering everyone, not close to "universal" but is him trying to have it both ways to appeal to the center and to the right, meanwhile they won't deal with his plan and it will get chipped away at just like his legislature to protect illinois residents from toxic waste seepage, since the company was in his pocket. clinton has been working on health care all her legal and political career, and the gop demonized her for it during the 90's. if she gets in the white house, she knows how to get it done this time. there is a lot to be learned from experience, practice, loss, etc. she's ready to bring it to the table and that is what we need and that is why elizabeth supports her plan.

Funny to see Obama supporters turn into HATERS.

Weeks ago it was all:
Obama/ Edwards '08

Then:
Obama/ Richardson '08

Elizabeth: We are ALL rolling our eyes at Obama the FRAUD. It is clear it will be

Obama/Uncle Wright '08
Yes, They are cons

Sounds like John wants to endorse Obama but his wife is keeping the pressure on him to shut his mouth so he won't hurt Hillary, who she's supporting.

honestly, though, this is just stale news as everyone waits for tonight's primary results.

"lot of the old politics" = corruption, greed and going to the highest bidder.
highest bidder = New York senator accepts donations from lobbyists.
But in record numbers, you came out and spoke up for change. And with your voices and your votes, you made it clear that at this moment – in this election – there is something happening in America.
There is something happening when Americans who are young in age and in spirit – who have never before participated in politics – turn out in numbers we’ve never seen because they know in their hearts that this time must be different.
There is something happening when people vote not just for the party they belong to but the hopes they hold in common – that whether we are rich or poor; black or white; Latino or Asian; whether we hail from Iowa or New Hampshire, Nevada or South Carolina, we are ready to take this country in a fundamentally new direction. That is what’s happening in America right now. Change is what’s happening in America.
We are the ones we've been waiting for.

The truth is coming, eventhough it taks time, sometimes

Isn't Edwards going to Vote? That's not a great message to send to the People!

I think the Edwardses have outlived their relevance!
At this time, anything they say is just self-serving and they do not have any political clout whatsoever; even in North Carolina…Obama would have trounced Edward in his own back yard if he is still in the race…and definitely Hillarious will be getting a pounding there today!

It would be better if the Edwardses just keep their mouths SHUT and enjoy their vacation wherever they are!
If John Edward's plan was that good or if he had any substance, he would have been in the race today!

ENUFF SAID!!!!

Well I say, Your Endorsement means nothing at this point….To Much To Little To Late, for you Mr Edwards, Your Lime Light has gone out…

EDWARDS SAYS

OBAMA:
great symbolic thing to have an African-American who could be president.". "see more substance under the rhetoric"

HILLARY:
she "shows a real strength that's inside of her."

I THINK EDWARDS IS INDIRECTLY ENDORSING HILLARY CLINTON..

HILLARY CLINTON IS THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR THE JOB AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES… !!!!!!!!!!!

Clearly–he's holding his delegates and personal support for the clear winner.
I suppose he actually may become the Poverty Czar.

It's not a powerful symbolic moment to have the first woman President be one who rode the coattails of her husband's last name.

Unless, of course, you're looking for a symbolic moment that proves your theory that women can't reach the top unless her man has done it first.

I could care less who John Edwards endorses and even less about who his wife endorses, why does she get any clout?

John Edwards will ultimately endorse Obama because 60%-85% of his staff and supporters are already with Obama.

None of my posts have made it through. Here it goes one last time.

I guess the flip flopper in 04 was really Edwards. He was weak then and is weak now. We dont need his endorsement to win N.C. Who said that he would be v.p.? He couldnt even win his home state in the last election. Lets move on.

Obama will close it out today.

One more thing. Im starting to think CNN stands for CLINTON NOT NIGRO. I cant believe how they put Hillary's negative add yesterday and her speach in bashing Obama. But put a 2 minute clip off Obama and had all the so called experts say that Clinton has the momentum . Its over folks. Its been for a month now and cnn is trying to drag this on. She is farther behind today than she was before Pennsylvania. How much is she paying you to keep this going CNN?

Bla…bla, same old stuff. I wonder if Sickle-Cell is covered under Obama's plan? If so, does it cover only children? Ya'll might check that out…… It would be covered for all under Clinton plan…..

Go ahead Obama fans, Make the Wright choice for change.

"… the race issue is greater than we want to admit. It's just true! People will often support people who look like them."

Yes, like 92%+ of ALL Black Americans voting for the Junior Senator Obama!

So, you see, the Junior Senator Obama is a UNITOR!

He has successfully UNITED BLACK AMERICANS!

NO ONE, especially the Juniot Senator Obama, has any idea how anyone is going to UNITE the rest of America; it's just the Junior Senator Obama & 92%+ of Black America, against the rest of the people in America!

Gr8!

Ask me if I care who they endorse.

Neither are superdelegates, so it really doesn't matter.
I'm glad he stayed quiet (even though I think he preferes Obama). He'll be needed to help bring the party together when Hillary finally does go away.

In an unrelated note…
Why isn't CNN reporting Obama's superdelegate gains over the last couple days?

Probably the best reason why Edwards campaign never picked up. It is clear, and you only had to watch one debate to notice it, that he deeply despises Hillary. But a complete lack of courage and moral fortitude tied with personal ambitions prevent him from endorsing Obama. Edwards has the talk but when it comes to decisions, his political career, unfortunately, shows his unability to go forward.

Judging by the spelling and grammar utilized in most of the Obama posts I see here, it is clear to me that his followers also include the uneducated.

Who cares what she thinks??? She has NO credentials to even have an opinion. And yes, being married to Edwards is not a credential we shoudl care about! And Edwards is clearly a wimp!

Obviously Elizabeth wears the pants in that family!

John and Elizabeth what is wrong with you guys?….Americans don't care what you guys thinK or say anymore……Bye, bye losers……………

You Clintonistas are pathetic. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story. There was no endorsement of EITHER candidate here.

Wishful thinking. Just like the sniper fire, counting only the votes you think matter, and including states that broke DNC rules.

She will lose. The only question is whether you will get line with the rest of us or cross over to McCain. You white collar votes that do that…you can kiss any decent health care plan goodbye. That, and your job goes to China. The rest of us won't feel sorry for you.

Sounds like a couple of nutcases to me.
Obama isn't African-American dweeb.

It's kind of obvious to anyone who hasn't intoxicated themselves by drinking too much of Obama's Koolaid that he is unelectable in the main contest that will matter.. The Presidential Election. The Democrats need a viable nominee against McCain and that is Hillary. Obama has too many skeletons in his closet, not enough experience, and more rhetoric than actual ideas to fix all the problems that Bush made. Obama didn't realize what what going on for 20 yrs with his spirital leader, didn't realize it when the Youtube videos for the world to see were posted, and not until the crazy guy gave yet another speech filled with lunacy did he all of sudden start jumping up and down and "realizing" his oblivious nature against Wright? Maybe ecause he's down in the polls? Please… He wouldn't recognize a danger to our country being it foreign or domestic until it happened. Possibly not until it happened twice! Nobama… Vote for someone who obviously is willing to fight to make things happen, has plans to fix Bush's problems, and has more balls than both Obama and McCain. Hillary!

Nobama

Hillary 08!

Edwards is a coward, plain and simple. Too bad that they disagree, but he's too much of a coward to do anything. Ridiculous.

Please black people. Dont start calling her racist. Im black and even I know that Elizabeth Edwards just had a difference of opinion.

Will-South Dakota

Are you blind, or just an idiot?
Wolf B. is African-American.
Both their late morning and afternoon shows are co-anchored by a black man and a white woman.

They also have Hispanics ( remember Soledad O'Brian?) and people of Oriental origin.

It appears to me that he is for Obama and she's a little unclear. I can't believe that John or Elizabeth Edwards like the lies that Clinton / Clinton put out there. He's always spoke out against that sort of pandering. Wait for it …he'll eventually come out for Obama and so will everyone else.

Sounds like John is considering all pros and cons, whereas Elizabeth is being a bit more narrow and single-issued…

John Edwards endorsement will be totally irrelevant by the end of the day, and Elizabeth Edwards endorsement is about as meaningful as Susan Fisher. Who is Susan Fisher? If you have to ask, then you get the point of Elizabeth Edwards' relevancy.

If Obama wins North Carolina, what is John Edwards going say? Is he going to go against the North Carolina electorate that voted for Obama to endorse Hillary?

John Edwards, knowing what it is being under brutally dishonest and unethical attacks from the Clintons would understand that if there is going to be any healing process and change in Washington-as-usual politics, these changes can only come from Senator Obama.

Instead, he sits quietly on the sidelines, watching the Clinton's political pandering. That's not a friend of the country!!!

At one time I was divided between Edwards and Obama… now I fully understand why Sen. Edwards is out of the race.

Why can't I get my comment to go in?

Come on John and Liz! Join team Obama! Obama's stance on corporations influencing politics is in line with John's. His healthcare plan doens't differ so much from Hillary's that Liz would have any reason to not go for Obama anyway. Unless her decision is gender influenced, not that that's happening at all….

Obama does not take money from Lobbies?

Obama's New Hampshire campaign finance chair was a registered lobby for large drug companies.

Obama's major contributors to his campaign is a large oil company CEO and drug companies.

Even Obama's second largest contributor is an unknown "pac" which represents an 87 billion dollar pharmaceutical company.

Obama has got lots of money from unregistered federal lobbiests so he can say he has go no lobby money but the truth is quite the opposite.

How does Obama get 40 to 50 million a month for his campaign, from poor people?

Who cares who these two losers endorse. Barak and Hillary wil fight to the end. The party will split along racial lines and the winner will be John McCain. Thank you Obama for destroying my father's party.

I think that he hasn't endorsed either because he is the leading VP for both.

ok,, my comment is,, what edwards wife said,, she wants a woman? well someone different than hillary please,, shes had dealings in fraud(www.peterfpaul.com) and also has her hubby,, which doesnt make well for a canidate for president,,, change is a good thing and obama can do it, grow up ,,mr and mrs, edwards and hear whats said instead of bein torn because a woman is runnin( especailly hillary). She talks big because she wants the nomination, but she cant handle what lies ahead,, trust me(unless she does more fraud things),, people check out this info on her,, very intereting you may chage your mind, its fact not fiction,,,,, clitons do anything to get what they want lieke the current president,,, the time for change is now and not with hillary,, unless you want more of the same tht we have now… GO OBAMA!!!!!!

booooooooo!

John, you should have endorsed. Now your endorsement won't matter and you'll be branded a wuss. So much for party elders. what a joke.

Yes CNN..plug in only Obama Comments.

DEMs will lose this election if Obama is selected. what a shame. Kerryand now Obama.

People here continue to say Obama can unite Republicans and Dems. What exactly has be done to show that to be possible? The most liberal voting record? Explain to me how he plans to get republican support for anything so far to the left. Talk about Pandering!

I will vote for Senator Edwards any day. My question is, why are so many of CNN'S reporters so biased against Senator Obama. Mr. Beck(wow).

To all of the Canucks who need to mind their own business……..Go Flyers!!@!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wooooo Hoooooo

Its great to Hear Mrs. Edwards come out and tell the truth about Obama's healthcare plan and his ads calling them "misleading."

You can pull the wool over the misinformed only for so long and then the truth will resinate. The Obama so called "change" is just rhetoric and words with no substance to back it up. John Edwards said he wants to "see more substance under the rhetoric."

I see some Hillary supporters here.

Go Hillary

ME THINKS JOHN EDWARDS IS DOING THE COUNTRY A DISLOYALTY, BY NOT ENDORSING A CANDIDATE. HIS WIFE'S
OPINIONS? WHO CARES…..HE'S THE POLITICO NOT HER..

to mike hillary has facts,, lol, but what are they?? fraud and lies,, grow up and really hear whats bein said,, or isit that u are predujuce?? ummmm

Gerri:

The only people that will jump out of windows if Obama is president will be the ones that can't deal with the prospect of having even a half-black president!

Are you telling me that you couldn't even handle someone who's HALF black? I sincerely hope that none of your family marries into a black family. I'd love to be a fly on the wall, just so I can watch your head spin around. And whatever you do, DON'T EAT PEA SOUP!

Isn't almost majorit of his staff for Obama…If he trusted them to follow him, why can't he trust them when they decided to back Obama….This has become a circus,,,,everyone wants to have "THE POWER"….these superdelegates love the publicity and media light….i'm convinced…when Obama won 11 straight contest, it was over….If it was Hillary that won 11 straight obama would have been kicked out of the race so fast….This party would have been united already and fighting John McCain like crazy…the democracts would have been up 60/40 in the polls and on our way to clean victory…..I hope NC and In both vote Obama so we can move on already………………..

I AM STILL IN SHOCK.

THIS MAN & HIS WIFE JUST LOST ALL RELEVANCE,

NOT ONLY FOR THIS RACE, BUT ALL THINGS PUBLIC

& POLITICAL. CAN'T SAY HE MISSPOKE AS HILLARY.

EDWARDS IS A LAYER BY TRAINING. TO CALL THE

FUTURE PRESIDENT OF OUR NATION ESSENTIALLY

A TOKEN, BECAUSE HE IS BLACK, IS INSANE.

He must be holding out for the VP spot

John who? I live in North Carolina and don't care who John Edwards likes. He is making nice to both in hopes of a VP offer. One thing is for sure - he is for himself.

I have just read a "non-scientific" poll that indicates Most people would vote democrat regardless of who the candidate is, come November. I was shocked to see that 40% would vote for McCain. WOW…Does McCain really stand for your issues. Why the hell would you do something like that…because you don't like the other..? You people haven't a clue, do you. These are the ignorant people who don't have a clue what their own candidate stands for..Or really doesn't care. Frankly, you have no business voting. I am not for either Democratic Candidate because of their stand on some issues. I will vote for the candidate that I feel shares the same views and neither Hillary nor Barack are in the running for my vote. No wonder they say the democratic party is at the bottom of the food chain…Really people?

Smart move staying out Mr. Edwards, Dmocrats will need an "Honest Broker" when Obama wins in May/June.

Electability in November:
Democrats = 50% of US population
Independents & soft Republicans = 15% of population
Obama = 65% - (HRC Support of non dems of 40% X 15% = 6%)- (racist vote of 10% X 50% = 5% within Dem Party) Total Win % = 54% WIN.
Obama Wins GE with 54% of vote!

Clinton = 65% - (Obama support of non Dems of 60% X 15% =9%) - (African American vote of 90% X 90% (Obama Supporters) X 12.5% of US population = 10.1%) Total Loss % = 45.9% LOSS
Clinton Loses the GE with 46% of the vote!

Explain to me how Obama is unelectable?? This analysis doesn't even address her Negative Ratings of 62% within 50% of the Democratic Base, which would decrease her loss by an additional 9% just from within the Democrat base!!!

Anybody who thinks that the AA community is going to "forgive and forget" by November if Obama gets railroded is dreaming in Technicolor!

Simple solution: Make Obama President and make Clinton Secretary of Health and Human Services.

to will from south dakota? cnn does have black reporters,, u just arent watchin at the right time,, watch more, and you will see,,,,, GO OBAMA!!!!!

This is SO typical of John Edwards-never making a commitment and being wishy-washy. He is VERY unpopular in North Carolina; a crummy ex-senator perceived as being a phony opportunist. He would have never carried another election in North Carolina. What he really cares about is his money and his hair…

Blah.. Hillary doesn't count - she was married to a President. For it to be symbolic a woman has to make it on her own and not because her man gave her experience. I'm sure that comment will upset many people but It's my opinion - and I think she will say or do whatever she has to to get elected and then not do any of it.

Obama on the other hand is much more trustworthy and candid. Is it so wrong for a President to be honest these days?

I am ashamed the Edwards didn't endorse, it shows that he is looking for some sort of political security.

At this point, who cares what these other "poor" people think? Are they just waiting to see who will win before they endorse and figure out how they can milk it? Explains why they're not in the race

ATTN: RAINDOG -

I am scared of "how far we have come" if you are representing this country.

It's difficult to take anything you say seriously with so many spelling errors, so therefore, I will consider your statement to be "rhetoric".

OK - we get it, Obama stands for change…well, so do I. The fact is, Obama has not told anyone what this change is going to be. What is he going to do different?

Will change the carpet in the oval office? Perhaps he wants to change the fact that his political career began in the very church that the likes of Oprah and others fled, due the the "hot air" that was coming from it.

Who cares what she thinks. Thats the reason the democrats didnt win in 04. The wrong people wearing the pants at home. Kerry's and Edwards wife should have been running instead.

Neither of them had the backbone to endorse anybody, so who cares what they think or say.

What Edwards failed to understand is now that the voting as began he only has the power of 2 votes, his ballot and his Super Delegate vote.

If he had endorsed somebody he could have harnessed a great deal of undecided votes. Looser!!!!

Edwards is holding out for a VP job. We ALL know that OBAMA will have the MOST delegates and the lead in popular vote. The only way hillary could win is if super delegates CROWN her –and that's not even about to happen. Why? Because since super tuesday in February, most super delegates have SUPPORTED OBAMA….and that's a fact….OBAMA will be the next PRESIDENT of the USA!!! He makes us all proud to be Americans!

Mr and Mrs Edwards, with all your talk of wanting to help the down and out, I think you would be ready for some change in Washington, But by reading your interviews I feel that you are the same Ole Staus Quo that is located in the Clinton camp. Your hesitation to jump on the change band wagon scares me and makes me believe that you are the same as the Clintons.

Democrates, Dont loose the young vote….Vote for change or you will loose the young vote forever……….take this from an older person…

….And the truth shall set you free………

Tell John & Elizabeth go sit down somwhere. The Dem don't need them at this point when the race is over. John is looking for a free ride to the Whitehouse.

Reading that makes me so happy they won't be in the White House. Loser

Those of you who support Clinton should support your own message. He should vote for who wins his state. Right?

Old Style Politics is Obama lying about everything and anything.

Change without a plan is the same old same old politics as usual.

Hillary's style has effectively brought change for 30 years.

Nothing wrong with methods
Everything wrong with verbal BS and no experience of Obama and Obama no experience of effectiveness.

What exactly has Obama accomplished other than marketing himself?

I love John Edwards. It is the media who drove him out of the race. They ignored him in '04 and they did it again this time around. John & Elizabeth deserve the best and if they don't want to endorse anyone, well, so what?!

OBAMA '08

Will-South Dakota:

Statements like "How come CNN doesn't have any people of color reporting as anchors instead of the ALL WHITE anchors?" prove only one thing. You obviously don't know what you're talking about. It may also say that you are a racist, or at least looking for evidence of racism wherever you can.

I watch CNN alot. And I mean ALOT. There are plenty of non-white reporters such as Fredricka Whitfield, Betty Nguyen, T.J. Holmes, Tony Harris, Roland Martin (not an anchor but on CNN constantly), Rick Sanchez, Ali Velshi …. I think you get the point.

Why can't you Americans actually try to get past this whole white-black race issue from half a century ago. The only thing that keeps it alive is constant racist remarks like these.

Anyone that doesn't watch CNN and know that they have plenty of white, black, oriental, indian, etc… anchors may actually think you know what you're talking about and may take a stance that CNN is a racist network.

Grow up, move on and be at one with all your brothers and sisters.

Mr. Edwards on Hillary: "Clinton represents a lot of the old politics."
Mrs. Edwards on Hillary: "disappointed the New York senator accepts donations from lobbyists"

Hillary belong to Republican party!

Billary/McBush = dream ticket!

Obama Health Plan is a Good one. Hillary haven't being able to put one in real affect. I trust that Obama will do right by by his health plan. His website has all the information. Besides, it's not what the Edwards say. It's what we the voters say.

Talk is cheap! Senator Obama doesn't offer anything substantive to ponder about and the saddest part is people fall for it. I can understand why the Edwards are hesitant about making up their minds. Hillary is the one, please.

How funny, some here say they are endorsing Hillary, some say Obama. They all ready know who they are endorsing but will not say. She should say Hillary, he should say Obama, but it kind of sounds like he is saying, I will endorse whoever (mrs. Edwards) tells me to endorse.

To anyone who hasn't voted today, vote for Obama. Today's newspaper reports that Shimon Peres, the President of Israel stated that peace treaties are attentionable with the Palestinians. He further stated that military action will not be necessary to dissuade Iran from proceeding with its nuclear program as long as the world takes a determined and united diplomatic stand against the government in Tehran. Senator Obama has been talking about diplomatic approaches from day one!! If you are not safe, it doesn't matter who
"fixes the economy." Senator Clinton's comments about obliterating Iran are outrageous at best and downright foolish at worst. Escalating conflict serves no one, particularly the Israelis. The United States needs a politican who understands the importance of diplomacy, not one who things that threatening people works! Look at Bush! P.S. who cares what the Edwards do!

I would sure like someone to explain the "new politics" that seems to be all the rage. From what I have been able to determine it has no more substance than the hype of the "new economy", and we all know how well that worked out for us.

Politics is politics. Politicians come and go but the game has been the same throughout history.

The Edwards quotes tells the whole story.

NOT being able to make up his mind in months and still setting on the fence "does that sound like what we need in the oval office"?
Elizabeth rolling her eyes ?????
We have had enough Clinton lies,figments of McClintons imagination from Monica to Bosnia to the gas pump farce.

Go Obama 08

ohhhhhhhhh he can't make up his mind by now?
