CNN

PS. Rolling her eyes does not mean Mrs. Edward is racist (and it does not mean she is not a racist). It simply means she has heard this comment too many times before, whereas thinks women are not being given their due... (hence she likely leans toward Sen. Clinton, whereas John leans toward Obama).
Cheers

I supported John and Elizabeth Edwards, but I think they both have shown an incredible lack of leadership, honesty and love of country by staying on the sidelines. I would like them to endorse Obama, because he represents the policies Edwards claimed to espouse. Clinton is and always has been completely controlled by lobbyists, has no history of standing up for American workers, and her health plan is about forcing Americans to buy insurance form the most corrupt business in America – Health Insurance companies. We do not need HEALTH INSURANCE – WE NEED HEALTH CARE. Get rid of the middle men, and just have a direct delivery government health care program!.

That said, if Edwards cannot choose between Clinton and Obama, he never had any business being President. This is a fairly clear choice, and whatever he decided, no one would die. If this simple choice overwhelms him, his is a panty waste.

Never liked the man, no backbone !

Edwards will never be vp for Hillary ... Harold Ford Jr should be Hillary's VP now that would be the best choice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He stood his ground and didn`t accept money from lobbiests--– that`s why he`s not in the race now. -- John Edwards is still the best alternative to McBush.

With the history of the US, a black or native American President would be much more symbolic...regardless of gender.

When we are honest about our history, white men and women haven't been disadvantaged to the same extent...historically speaking.

Besides, how can you be for the working man when you have a 28,000 square foot secluded house?

Come on John, stand up and be counted. All of this fence sitting isn't who you told us you were when you were in the race. Be that man again. You know who you want to support. Just say it.

I don't understand why they decided to speak out today, they already have their candidate picked. She likes Hillary health care, John said Obama can bring the country together and Hillary is old politics.

People want change, John be the man and endorse Obama. Each candidate has his or her flaws just choose the best.

I believe John is afraid to choose Obama because of what the wife would think and we already know she wants Hillary because of the woman thing, typical.

PS. If Hillary was the best candidate I would vote for her.

enough catering to these two whimps!! Who cares who Edwards endorses – he lost!! he lost early and he lost big.

Obama does not represent the "old style" politics? B.S.!!! Most of his recent ads have gone negative attacking Hillary. Not to mention the McCarthyism comment the Obama campaign had used to attack the Clintons.

well, this election certainly has three Presidential candidates with
different political ideologies;
Mccain is the Conservative Republican
Hillary Clinton is the moderate Democrat.
Obama is the left wing Liberal.

This Election will go down in history as the most historic and most expensive presidential election.

The candidates are right in these fools' back yard, and they haven't spoken up until today, and even then in a print interview. Face it: working people have seen enough of both candidates to make up their minds one way or the other, on their own. Beyond today, John Edwards' opinion isn't going to matter much anyway and neither will his wife's. He had a chance to step forward and make his voice known, but silence is golden.

Fade away, Edwards, fade away............

so, you are for a guy who wants to raise taxes on the rich. Well, fine, the rich will still be rich and they will lay off more of the workers and then you will be poorer. It's the rich that provide the jobs.
All these social programs have been bad for the people. The welfare has replaced fathers in the home. And created a host of other problems.
We could have oil dependcy with nuclear...but no because of a movie.We could drill more of our own but no, because enviromental whackos. Which is not helping the "people".
We are forbiden to build roads and buildings because of a frog or bird. That is not helping the people.
These last 45 years doing things on principles has hurt the people more than helped.
John Edw. just another loser. Who cares. They got theirs and I don't think they give a whit either. Probably a hobby to them.

Elizabeth Edwards is battling cancer and I am not going to say anything
negative about her and I wish her well. However, I do believe that John
is behind Senator Obama. During the debates, he kept saying how he
and Obama thought along the same lines. John may not want to upset
his wife at this stage and may be the reason why he is staying neutral.
However, if he is looking forward to a job in Washington, I do believe that
he will endorse Obama after today. After all , I believe that John Edwards
is one of the honest politicians that Senator Obama seeks.

OK...Edwards touched on something I've been thinking about too...If Obama is elected, think what it will do for black folks in America. There would be no more excuses about how they can't achieve their dreams here. Though I know it won't wipe away racism...I think it will shut down a lot of old arguments and force some people to belly up to the bar for their own advancement.

My first choice for the nomination was Edwards, with that being said I am disappointed he and his wife have not made a decision by now. I think they are hurting the Democratic Party, like so many other important Democrats, who have waiting far to long to endorse one canidate and end this ongoing race. My question is when will the National Democratic Party start acting like one?

I wanted to like Edwards, but clearly he is waiting for Hillary to
jump ahead of Obama so, he can get to be the V.P. When people
GOOGLE CLINTON'S AND GOOGLE CLINTON'S OUTSOURCING
OF AMERICAN JOBS, WE WILL SEE WHAT EDWARDS NEW AND
STOOD UP FOR.

HE DID NOT CARE ABOUT THE POOR. HE IS WAITING FOR HILLARY
TO WIN.

EDWARDS WILL BE A THIRD TIME LOSER. HE CAN MOVE TO DUBAI OR COLUMBIA WITH THE CLINTON'S LIVING THEIR MISERABLE LIVES.

I am really disappointed in John Edwards. He turned out to be a huge self-serving jerk. If he cared so much about poor people, why don't he give them some of his money???

Edwards' endorsement is NOT important at all to Obama as he will win. Why is it so difficult for the American people to give the vote to him? We will NEVER move forward when folk are afraid to use their heads to vote!

There is this continued buzz about HRC and a court case against her and Bil. Why has CNN not reported and analyzed this case and how it can affect her chances? Media biaz? Media racism?

Wolve Blitzer, you delight in showcasing Rev. Wright and the controversy surrounding his speeches, but you have completely ignored Hillary's court case and our cry for unbiased reporting.

Bad job, white Wolve.

I have actually lost respect for this man and his wife. They have the ability to choose a candidate to endorse and potentially end this ridiculousness that is damaging the democratic party. Edwards and Gore would hold heavy influence on the opinions of democratic voters, but they refuse to do anything. Howard Dean's cries to align behind your chosen candidate and end the squabling are apparently falling on deaf ears.

You blew it, John, again. America has had enough of wishy-washy politicians. Take a stand; say what you mean and mean what you say.
You didn't, that's why you will fade into oblivion. Too bad. You could have been a contender.

Talk about hedging your bets. Edwards talks about "old politics" but that is exactly what he is doing. He is sticking his finger in the air and checking which way the wind blows. I lost respect for this guy about two months ago when I realized he wasn't going to endorse anyone because he didn't want to take a chance and endorse the wrong candidate. Wake up people.

Symbolic? What do you mean symbolic? This is not about being symbolic, it is about electing the most qualified candidate that can bring about the change needed as well as unite the party as well as the country. It seems to me that the only one qualified to do that is Obama. He has proven his ability to cross the line and is willing to tell it how it is even if it huts. He also is not trigger happy and is more willing to talk about those things that divide us as well as the world than anyother candidate since Kennedy.

I think they have always been irrelevant, they should have come out months ago to endorse a candidate, be it Hillary or Barack and actively campaigned for the person....

She rolled her eyes because he "only" mentioned the fact of the first African American president being symbolic.. meaning he should have also stated it being symbolic of having the first Woman president.

So if you understand it correctly, there's nothing disgusting about it. She was not doing it out of a racial thing.

Hey, sounds like my house.

YES.. I am for Obama
But I am really for some equality that I hope he will bring. I was just like to see someone who looks like me, someone who can relate to me bring about some fairness.

Where is the diversity on CNN. Where are ANY black anchors.

I watch CNN, yes I do. But it makes me sick to my stomach that they think they could ever be fair/ impartial.

AND yes,, (I would vomit all the way.. )I WOULD vote for HRC if it came down to it. I am no fool. I guess its the less of two evils

OBAMA 08

I havte lost all respect for both Edwards!! Why did she roll her eyes. The heck with her and her opinion. And John Edwards wants Barack to have more substance. Ah...where is your substance buddy. No one needs your comments nor your endorsements.

I know that everyone is so excited to see a woman or African American as president. It will be the first time in history of the United States that something like this has happened. I just want some people to realize. This is bigger than Hillary or Barack. It is a symbol on how American has matured past slavery and segregation.

Hillary thinks its tough being a woman and trying to run for president. It is even harder for Barack Obama. At least, all the past presidents look like her. If there was a black president before, then I could see her gripe for saying that there has never been a female president. Yes, there has been male presidents forever, but none of which were black or close to it. So my friends...I believe Barack Obama has it harder than a lot of you are willing to admitt.

Setting it straight:

Where do I begin? Let's see: His father is African, and his mother is American. That makes him an African American (DUH!)

Would you like the name of another African Amrican? Charlize Theron. She was born in South Africa!

Do you see the pattern? African American means an American with African roots – it doesn't mean they have to be 100% black. In fact, they don't have to be black at all. They simply have to have African roots.

Are there any other topics you'd like to be educated in??

There is no way considering their statement about taking money from lobbyists that they can endorse Hillary Clingon

Edward's wife rolling her eyes just goes on to confirm what a lot of us have been thinking....the Edwards are Clinton supporters, and the reason is because they cannot deal with the fact that a black man is still in the race and John Edwards is not....it is rather sad as I had some respect for Edwards..what a shame

John Edwards has already picked the winner......."represents the old politics" .......which no one wants any more

Elizabeth was just playing with her husband when she rolled her eyes. You Obamabots are just too overly sensitive about everything. Get over it!

Now we know why He couln't convince voters. He is too indecisive. Sad.

It is a good thing he dropped out – can't even make a decision between the 2 candidates! Your 15 minutes are up Mr & Mrs. Edwards

"great symbolic thing to have an African-American who could be president."

...yeah, the thing is...we need someone with experience and solutions to go along with the 'symbolism'.

Hillary '08

I think John Edwards is leaning toward endorsing Barack Obama for two reasons: 1.) because he (rightly, in my opinion) attacked the heck out of Hillary in the early debates and 2.) because, if he's right about Hillary representing the "old style" politics, which I believe she does, if she was nominated as the Dem nominee she'd try to get a super-established older politician probably from the South or Southwest to be her running mate, whereas Barack would be more apt to pick a younger, not-as-experienced-in-Washington running mate that mirrors his own image as "not tainted by beltway politics".

Cartoons here: http://spinachflame.wordpress.com/

Frankly I dont think she rolled her eyes at the thought of the first Afro -American president...the THOUGHT THAT PEOPLE ARE VOTING FOR SUCH AND NOT BASED ON SUBSTANCE!

I am an Afro American that TOO rolls his eyes at the thought of throwing a vote for someone that simply is ALL talk and absolutly NO substance what so ever.

Elizabeth Edwards is obviously endosing Hillary – she just doesn't want to make her husband look stupid but being unable to decide.

I have now lost all respect for Elizabeth.

I never knew she was a raciest.

Common John!!!! Take a side!!! What else canthese candidates reveal?

please check IN and NC state official's websites, to get the facts on the number and totals of the election...........
dont trust Clinton National Network News.

Now we know why He couln't convince voters. He is too indecisive. Sad.

So now we see why Edwards has not made an official endorsement: he doesn't want to tick his wife off....I always knew he was a smart man.

I like the Edwards but this wishy-washy can't make up my mind stuff is starting to annoy me.

Are they waiting to see who the nominee is so they can get the invitation for VP sealed up? Make your choice based on your gut....I am sure your gut will say Obama!

Barack Obama 08!

Decent people like the Edwards are the best image of America. We love you. Let's get our country back, let the world respect America again.

Go Hillary, you are the one can do it.

If the dems had any brains...they would find a way to nominate Edwards.

He seems to be the only democrat that believes in let the people decide.

He may be the only democrat that actually believes in people.

Amazing! They didn't endorse anybody and all these supporters are putting words in their mouths, drawing their own conclusions and touting them like they are reality!

I'd really like for Edwards, the one that counts, endorses Obama... but I'm going to wait until he actually does it before I get happy.

Hillary doesn't represents strong women. Her husband cheated on her and humiliated her in front of the ENTIRE world, and yet she stayed with him, so please don't even start about Obama staying in the church for 20 years. A church is so much more than the pastor/ priest. Hillary stayed with Bill because she knew she would need for the big prize: Prsident. She's a LIAR and would say or do anything to get elected!!!!

No offense to Mrs Edwards who I do respect immensely, but why is her opinion on this matter such a big deal. John Edwards is the person whose decision will make a difference.

For individuals who tie in every comment and reaction with race, ultimately, it portrays you as a racist. Clearly, Elizabeth Edwards rolled her eyes, because she is a woman and particularly for you women out there, if you know your history, it would be equally as historically significant for either candidate to win the election.

Clearly, I am not a woman, but you can bet on it that I would feel the exact same way, if I were. I feel that way about his comment now. To bad for women in general that some of you can't even see that, regardless of who you are voting for.

Please keep in mind neither Obama or Hillary can win enough delegates to clinch the race before voting ends on June 3, leaving the decision to the nearly 800 superdelegates. So no one is winning. Let the remaining states vote including Michigan and Florida!!!

This is the most I have ever watched CNN or so in tuned with politics.
Favor is being shown to Hillary, but that's a good thing ,because the
American people will judge Obama by his character ,how he handle the pressure and not the color of his skin or who his pastor is are will be. As a black woman, I think God that I don`t see color, but people.
If God be for him, just accept what God allows, he will do the separation when he returns. You do know that he (God) in coming back? and we all have to answer to decision and actions, behavior etc.
Barack it is WELL.
See you at the top, because the bottom is to crowded.

One of the comments that I hear frecuently is that some people hate Hillary, even the press welcome it .....a political comentator in Television said "This candidates (Obama/Clinton) hate each other".....these commentes should be void, they are no neccesary and has nothing to do of who these two persons are.

I tink that the hate for Hillary is based on how well she resolved her personal life at a sad and critical moment in her marriage, same people expected her to end the marriage, instead she stand up and faced the world.....only a super intelligent... well balance...a person capable of understanding the worse with good jugdemet and courage...most people will not even try to resolve a similar situation....Hillary can resolve any critical situation in this Country...I have not doubts she will be the best strong President.

I will welcome Obama as a Vice-President...he needs to have more experience to be the President he says he wants to be, and I hope his wife Michelle accept this.....it will be the ideal team.

Edwards runs for President and lost.
Edwards runs for Vice President and lost
Edwards runs for President and lost again.

No need to do anymore running. Obama is still politics of old. He said the gas issue is a gimmick by Clinton, but it turns out he already tried it in Illinois in the State Senate. He clawed his paws, demanding anyone who says anything racial against blacks, but he two-faced with Wright, Ferraro, his grandmother.

Mr. and Ms. Edward: With all respect, I am sure you agree with me that It is not time for TALKS anymore...IT IS TIME FOR ACTION... make up your mind.... time for sweet talks is over...you need to act now..

The train of change has already left and because it has no break and/ or reverse gear it cannot wait for a couple that want to lead the country but cannot lack a leader at home. Ask Guliani!

It would have been nice for John Edwards to make an endorsement prior to today's NC and IN primaries. They must both be waiting to see how NC votes and then follow along.

"Elizabeth Edwards said she is......disappointed the New York senator accepts donations from lobbyists."

Hello Elizabeth–Senator Obama would not have had a dime to launch his campaign without the hefty contributions of billionaire fundraisers, corporate bundlers, who represent at least 50 percent of his campaign funding.

Can someone define what the "old politics" is? Because if Obama wins the nomination and goes on to win the general, I want to make sure he doesn't revert to the "old politics" that he is so much against. But for that we need a very clear (not vague) definition of "old politics" and what his vision of the "new politics" is. So far, it's just these random vague ideas.

My Bad.
So if my dad was born in Japan and my mom in America and I was born in America should I be labeled Japan-American? And if my skin is black because my mom is black, what then?
I think maybe just being labeled American would do, don't you?
I am trying to figure out how to label me.

Gerri,

In that case, then you of all people should know better!

I think John Edwards has done a disservice by not endorsing a candidate. He owed it to the people to show his mettle and decide. If the couple does not agree...then just say so. who cares! If each endorsed a different candidate they would be no different than a lot of households....did they have to wait and agree before speaking....weird. If he is waiting for a VP slot or cabinet post before deciding....then he is not the person he claims to be.

Dare dream, and hope. Change doesn't come easy. It is hard work, and comes with a lot pain.

Go Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, Pam and Catherine! A great many people care about who Elizabeth Edwards supports for president. Don't pretend you both wouldn't love to have her endorse Barry.

As for you, "Come On John," plenty of us have chosen Hillary, not Barack "Who's Reverend Wright?" Obama, so don't pretend to speak for all of us.

I have always liked john edward, liz is his boss. It seems like John is a slight bit younger than liz, if only in additude. I think john has a bit of the south him, while she is 150% old deep dixie south. Oh boy, does it show. If she has anything to add to this decision, Obama has nothing coming. At least John seems to be taking a man size stance in this issue. If you watched him and wife on the campaign trail, you know that she bossed him around.

Bill, Covington actually you sound like a fool because so many people have voted for Obama. Are you suggested they are all fool? Actually it's been proven the majority of people with at least a college degree support Obama. GET YOUR FACT STARIGHT fool!

Just proves that no matter how successful, or smart you are guys, you will still do things that make your wife roll her eyes.

being a strong Edwards supporter in the last two campaigns. Iwould be really upset if HE endorsed Obama. My question is to everyone. If Hillary had been going to a church for 20 years and the minister spoke with the racial slurs that Wright used. Would the press and the people be so sympathic. I do not think so.

But here is the bigger question....Why is it so important for us to know who everyone endorses? Let's make up our own minds and vote accordingly. While I respect the Edwards', I frankly don't give a hoot who they endorse.

their silence and lack of pro activity speaks a LOT..............

Obama will win, no matter what CNN wants us to believe

Have to agree I think Elizabeth should have ran since John is obviously not the man.

John Edwards is a 1 term national senator (with no state legislature experience) who did not win re-election and I have yet to hear anyone speak about his inexperience. If Obama was in the same situation we all know how it would be.

She rolled her eyes at the thought of the first African American president?
WOW. That's pretty disgusting isn't it?

I'm liking Edwards more and more.

Shame he wasn't a "celebrity" candidate....

Reading these CNN comments over the last few weeks has saddened me when I see the overt racism in our language.

Look around folks. America is multi-racial and multi-cultural. We need to get past the barrier of our eyes and minds. We are all human and feel joy and pain. Much of the rhetoric shows there is a considerable lack of empathy in America for people we consider as "others".

Have we lost our relevance? What does America really stand for?

First African-American? It's time to call a spade a spade – he's a mulatto – look it up.

Who cares what they think?

Well as an African American woman who once voted for John Edwards because I thought he brought new energy to the process, I am really disappointed that he would share such thoughtless comments . I thought both he and the Mrs. were different, boy was I wrong!!!! Is it sour grapes???

S*#t or get off the pot!!!

She does not have a Super Delegate vote so who cares?

Old Politics? It could be said that a new way to fix plumbing is to hire an electrical contractor... certainly a new way. To fix the plumbing one hires a plumber, plain and simple. HRC/BHO. Next sixteen years please.

North Carolina Graduate:

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but black people aren't the only ones that recognize racism.

Racism is actually an irrational fear of someone who has a different skin color. In other words, it's a phobia! Not only can both blacks and whites be racists, but they can both recognize racism in any form.

Frankly, I don't judge people by simple facial movements, etc. I try to get to know a person before I form any opinions.

For instance, if someone were to only be concerned that blacks think that someone is racist, they themselves may have a problem and not know it.

Fortunately, racism is curable. The cure comes in two forms. The first is education for both the racist and the victim of racism. The second cure comes in the form of accepting someone of a different race as a part of your family, or at least, your "inner circle" of friends.

Then and only then will you realize that there never was a difference in the first place.

I for one am tired of seeing both the old bag and the African Opy boy, both need to go by the wayside. To bad we can't loose both at the same time, so unfortunately for all of us we will have to put up with loosing only one at a time.

a real man would have stepped up and made an endorsement

From what I understand, John Edwards does not have a lot of influence in his own home state.

I believe however, that they are both trying to garner some media coverage with the stance that they are taking. Elizabeth does not fool anyone, she is behind Clinton big time. The longer they take to "come out" the longer Elizabeth will have to coax John into backing her candidate, and the more dramatic their endorsement will be when it does happen They are not fooling the majority, they only think they are!!!

SUE P,
You cannot have cheap healthcare without the mandates.. If thats the case there will still be so many uninsured which will drive the prices up. If someone doesnt HAVE to get insurance until they need it (both plans say noone can be turned down) then why would anyone ever get it as a precaution.. then we will be stuck paying for all those that need medical once they are diagnosed.. THATS VERY UNFAIR!

HILLARY 2008 (THE ONE WITH THE PLAN)

Hillary and Maccain will give you pennies and take away your hard earned dollars.
Penny wise pounds foolish. ...! How can she say she thinks about the ordinary people, but with their $105. millions they failed to invest in any business. Instead to kept their money in banks getting interest and Bill is making million dollars in every major speeches.

Why can't they put their money on the line establish company employ the ordinary people to make their lives different.

They work everyday with lobbyiest who work for oil companies and she criticise the oil companies for making profits.

Now she wants to help the oil campanies whom have donated to her campain by her idea. She wants to investigate oil prices and she knows why the oil prices is going up.
Hillary if you stop taking oil company money the price will reduced.

It has all be said: Sen. Edwards clearly leans toward Sen. Obama but is still hedging his bets, while the same for his wife toward Sen. Clinton. Why should this couple be that different from thousands of other Americans?

The up side is that they will be a force for unity once a clear nominee emerges, based on the decision of the super delegates.

By the way, this does not mean "she wears the pants", and I am a guy. It does mean that women tend to view things more in terms of gender, which is neither a good or bad thing.

Cheers.

No Change You Can Count On = Obama
Audacity of Inexperience = Obama

Hillary 08!

WHO CARES ABOUT JOHN AND ELIZABETH ENDORSEMENT. IT'S THE AMERICAN VOTERS THAT WILL DECIDE IF THEY ENDORSE OR NOT. I AM SURE THEY WILL GO FOR HILLARY ANYWAY. OBAMA IS DOING FINE, HE DONT NEED JOHN EDWARDS IN ORDER FOR HIM TO WIN.

Hillary is now saying the magic number is 2209 delegates to win the nomination. Whenever she falls further behind she tries to change the rules. Michigan and Florida knew the rules. Hillary had and still has name recognition while Obama is new. They were not allowed to campaign in either state. That gave Clinon a huge unfair advantage in both states. The vote was illegitimate. If they change the rules to help out Hillary it will not only be devistating to the Democratic party it will be illegal and corrupt. Something the Clintons are used to.

WHATEVER! The Edwards may be nice people but I don't think they have the clout the press is giving them. John Edwards knows that once he endorses a candidate he fades from political site. This way he gets a blurb in the news once a month.

I'm sending prayers up for Obama in both states.

Obama 08!

Absolutely John,. Sen Obama has no substance. I think the younger crowd is more impressed with his hoops and dancing rather then solving critical issues.

I love the Edwards!...and the Edwards love Hillary!!

Go Hillary 2008!!

Hmm... Elithabeth Edwards is a fine woman, but if I remember correctly it was John Edwards who run for President? John Edwards is a superdelegate, not Elithabeth? John, please go find your cajones pronto.

While I say a daily prayer for Mrs. Edwards' health and hope for a miracle for her kids' sake, I have to admit that her response (rolling her eyes) was typical of a racist person in America. So sad... We will never be able to get over this and this time is happening before the entire world' eyes. No wonder they call us the racist Americans.

It sounds as if the couple is mixed over which candidate to vote for and endorse. I would hope that the Edwards go with Obama after the election so as to let the voters go and vote with little undue influence.

I live in NC and work in Chapel Hill, and I can't understand where this 1 term senator who declared a war on poverty but has done NOTHING visible to help the LARGE number of homeless population in Chapel Hill (his home town) gets his political clout from. I just don't get him

Julie mn, please tell me you're not a hillary backer talking about integrity.
Throughout time all subjugated people have spoke out about discrimination in society. The church being an integral part of revolting since before the civil rights mov't is a tradition. Now i don't completely condone wright's statements but u have to understand that his claims are not entirely baseless. There is truth to why people feel hopeless at time, i believe obama is the right person for America because he has a different world view than the ELITES that are HRC and McINsane. He understands what it is to struggle, he is a man of the people for the people.

Why is this news? It's just two more liberals who can't make up their minds. There's millions like them across the country.

I think John may be getting over his bitterness on how he exited,

so he decide to stay neutral,

But if he stays this way. all the way.. will no doubt cost himself a very TOP cabinet position.

However John edwards.. although have yet come out and endorse was seen at a rally with Barack , so maybe there is something there, and barack just will spring HIM on us down the road.

CNN PLEASE POST MY COMMECT THIS TIME!!!!!!

John Edwards is an opportunist and a hypocrite. He campaigned like a populist and a champion for the poor and also CHANGE so it was logical for him to have come out and endorse Obama once he dropped out but he kept mute and waited for the winner before he would jump on the victory bandwagon.
Obama can win without John Edwards but we have seen his true color. I guess he prefers someone who looks like him colorwise so his rhetorics were all fake.
God will help Obama win. Hillary your ego , just like your husbands, will get you nowhere!!!!

No Change You Can Count On = Obama
Audacity of Inexperience = Obama

Hillary 08!

Obama you rock !!
You don't want a opportunist's endorsement..
You are honest and sincere... Your own light will guide you to the victory..
Hats off to a genuine man,a true gentleman,
An exceptional human being..
Go obama yes you can

Roland Martin...is so biased and i think he needs to go on a diet so he does not have a heart attack gettign so excited over little o...

That is sad that she rolled her eyes!!!!

That actually is horrible.

To – Jewel Montgomery Dallas, Tx

You have got to be kidding me! Are you oblivous? CNN has plenty of Non-white reporters/anchors/analysts,correspondents. -

Christiane Amanpour, Sibila Vargas, Femi Oke, Alina Cho, Betty Nguyen, Lola Ogunnaike, Sanjay Gupta, Tony Harris, Alphonso Van Marsh, Eric Philips, Aneesh Raman, Richard Lui, Don Lemon, T.J. Holmes,

THAT'S JUST TO NAME A FEW! There are plenty more!

You would physically have to turn CNN on to see that, but instead, you blithering idiots would rather just rant and rave without the facts.

Superdelegates are probably afraid not to vote for Obama because of the threats of people like Sharpton that there would be civil war if Obama does not get the nomination. We cannot and should not be bullied into making Obama the nominee. He is not electible and the Superdelegates know that. So vote for the person who will win in the Fall – if not – then settle for John McCain.

I am disappointed in John Edwards, he appears to be waiting to see which candidate is most likely to win the nominiation. I thought he had more integrity than this.

People Magazine?

Please! Speaking of rhetoric...John...I thought you had more in you!

Obama '08

I cant wait until Hillary is out of there so all of their supporters can it.

Dear Mr. Edwards,

I am so glad that you are no longer in the race. You had the perfect opportunity to show the world that you stood for something, and you blew it. Just so you know, tommorrow your choice will have no revelance. Shame on you for missing an opportunity to make a difference.

Go Obama!

Here's a guy who left the race after the first state – and they WANT his endorsement?

"Mimi de la cruz fo OBAMA"

Poor baby, can't stand the heat, or truth. That is exactly what obama is, "A Token"

Only a fool would vote for fim, so I guess we know what you are.
Have a nice day!

IF Barack can not close the deal today, ( to win both states) he is in big trouble. This primary will go all the way to convention.
And Mr Dean will cry for help of super delegates.

The latest poll shows Hillary will beat McCain

Seems both are saying is Obama is all mouth no action

Typical! She seems to like Hillary because she's a WOMAN and John seems afraid to come out in support of the TRUE candidate that brings a
lot more than rhetoric. They both are lame!

The Edwards and the Clinton's need to move to Dubai or Columbia.

As another NC resident, people here are not huge Edwards supporters. He has not done anything for our state. He may be the son of a mill worker, but he became a millionaire chasing ambulances. He's probably a nice guy, but I don't think he should be VP

John Edwards has wasted the enormous amount of political capital he had at his finger tips when he withdrew from the race. He could have negotiated with either team and applied a great deal of influence for his positions/policies to be included. Now it is too late.

It is very devoted of John Edwards to hold off his endorsement in light of his wifes preference for the opposing candidate but the basic fact is that John Edwards is the politician who his supporters voted for and Elizabeth Edwards was not a contestant. He should have made his decision and used his position to get the most policy agreement as possible from the candidate he chose to support. He could also have pressured the Obama camp to agree that Elizabeth Edwards should be included as a major voice in the working process or committee which will be tasked with Health Care policy.

All of that political capital is now blown. Their last major chance to get the most from their endorsment was in the weeks leading up to Pennsylvania. But it's too late now. Their policies and positions will fall to the floor instead of at least having some measure of influence on a candidate.

John Edwards likes John Edwards and his 28 thousand square foot house and his 400 dollar haircuts. He's a one time Senator and President wanna be. Which he'll never be. Anybody watch his debates with Dick Chenney the last election? I doubt Edwards would even win North Carolina if he ran again for the Senate seat. Look, there goes an ambulance.

OMG!!! This is more silly season reporting. The bottom line is neither one of them declaring who they support will affect this race in anyway. All this coverage makes him feel important so that is why he not announcing his decision. When he does he will be known as Edwards Who?

who is wearing the pants... is he trying to say that he was going to run the white house with his wife if he had won the primaries

That John Edwards has not endorsed either tells much about his character: sore loser. He might have helped either one, but sat on his hands and did nothing. I used to be a supporter of his, but I am glad he is out. And besides, according to NC news, Edwards has no sway in NC politics, being a one-term wonder with no state party network to call upon. Perhaps then it is just as well he did nothing. VOTE OBAMA! VOTE HOPE!

Just tell us! Please!

My goodness some of you people are so negative and mean. They have a right to not endorse anybody and whomever they endorse is their choice. I do not see a need to attack anybody who does not agree with you, or who does not do what you want them to do. The Edwards are good people and John can hold his head high for running a very good campaign. It just wasn't his time. I sure hope some of don't treat your spouses or children they way you treat your fellow party members.

People don't understand politics if they don't realize that the superdelegates are professional politicians who are going to shift
towards the winner for their own careers. As we have seen, Hillary's
supers have switched to Senator Obama because he has won the
most states, popular votes, and delegate count. They won't swing
toward Hillary because she is not the winning horse, therefore is not
in a position to offer them anything politically. To them, this is business,
not personal.

Hilliary said, “Rich people, god bless us. Now who's the elities, it sounds like she is the one.

Sounds like they are waiting for the convention.

And please! White women have always gotten treated better and have gained rights before non-whites. The status quo or the "old ways" dictate that a white woman be next in line.

Obama for change.

Now, we know why Edward has not endorse Obama because of his control personality wife.

How come no one recalls that the Clintons took away artifacts from the White house on their way out, which they later returned. That was petty theft you know. This is even more revealing about these folks.
Couple that with the string of lies and deception and you have a clear pattern that runs deep.

To little too late.... He'll be know as the loser that can't decide, no wonder he fell from grace

No fear
Audacity to Hope

Obama 08

Edwards thinks the American people are stupid and can't figure
this "no endorsement yet" out. No, Mr. Edwards you are a phony.

They are insiders – if the voting public has enough information to make a good decision at this point, they should have much more than enough.

It may be a good move to have prominent people like Edwards stay neutral now, so they can fully back the nominee once it is finally decided. The more important election is still to come.

Sounds like Elizabeth is preventing John from endorsing Obama. Hint to Elizabeth: ITS MATHEMATICALLY ALREADY OVER!

John should secure the Attorney General spot from Obama and endorse and end this nonsense.

Body language says a lot. Nice roll of the eyes Elizabeth!

You have issues!

To Will in South Dakota:

CNN has people of color reporting. Roland Martin is working overtime for Obama.

Don't you just hate people who sit on the fence. That's why he is not a viable candidate. Can't make up his mind. Or maybe Elizabeth wears the pants in this house.

He needs to support Obama so that he can lose to McCain in the Fall.

No Bama in the Whitehouse. Go John McCain

Sounds like John is for Obama and Liz is (for some reason) for Hillary.

Orange, purple collar, working male not for Dems:

I hate to bust your bubble, but Barack Obama is a true African-American. Remember, his father was African and his mother was American. Do the math.

That Mrs. Edwards would roll her eyes at Sen. Edward's statement is understandable, to a degree. Sen. Clinton's presidency would of course not mark the beginning of women's occupancy and direct influence – even at 3AM – in the White House. Mr. Obama, on the other hand, represents a breakthrough at a level never before approached in American politics. The potential occupancy of the White House by a family that would have been, literally, in chains and under whips of their masters – male and female – just a few generations back, is something that moves me to tears. I am so pround of our country right now.

$1200 haircuts and we make him a hero. He is all for the
Bonnie and Clydes of modern politics.

If Hillary wins, she won thru lying and cheating. She will never
come "across for the poor", Mr. Edwards. Self gain is the reason
you have not endorsed. Go Home.

Lies, lies, and more lies. That is what we will get from the Clintons once again. "I did not have sexual relations with that woman". "We had to run for cover because we were under sniper fire." If you like lies then the Clintons are your best choice. I don't like liars myself but that's just a personal opinion.

EDWARDS WILL BE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY UNITER WHEN WE HAVE A NOMINEE.

Although John is out of a job, he can live off his investments. He is better off to run again in 2012 than taking a V.P. offer. Should he take a V.P. offer, he will suffer a mental breakdown if he works for Bill and Hillary. Just ask Al Gore!

Yes, it would be nice to have a woman president just as well as having an African American President. That fact is..... It should not be Hillary. We dont need 2 families dominating the world's most powerful country and most powerful job in the world. What does that say about the USA. We might as well tear up the constitution and pledge our loyalty to Great Britain. All Hail Queen Hillary (oops!!, I mean Queen Elizabeth). We need someone in the white house with fresh ideas and new leadership to work with both parties. Not the political machine of arm twisting and hook-winking, baby kissing, hand-palm greasing, wealthy politicians who will accept money from any lobbyist that pays the highest dollar and no back bone and willing to say or do anything to get to the white house. If all these descriptives sounds like one particular candidate, you guess it, Hillary Clintion. Go Barack. Beat the pants off of her so that the remaining superdelegates have no choice but to come out and end this prolonged mud-slinging fest.

Indiana is not going to stand by and let Hillary come in and snatch the nomination from Barack. Indiana is in our backyard. Chicago is not going to let that happen! Southside!! Barack Obama 08- and 2012. You better recognize!

I am an Obama supporter, but this is the truth about many of us. to see it so concisely put within one household is a true testament to how tough this race really is. Personally, old politics has GOT to stop!

But then again, either will be McCain, so in my opinions THIS is the real race.

Clearly she is leening towards Hillary and he towards Barack. They just cannot come to a decision where they both support the same candidate... this is going to be an opportunity lost for John. He will not be in a Barack cabinet.

On the one hand Clinton is... on the other Obama has... on the third hand Clinton says...on the forth hand Obama wants... ; This Edwards pair are wuses and amount to nothing. who they 'endorse' months too late is important as last years snow.

since John Edwards is the key person not his wife it looks like he wants to support Obama, wise choice. He is between a rock and a Clinton.

Hope you win today Obama

""Since when is Elizabeth a super delegate?""

Since when is John a superdelegate?

I never liked Elizabeth Edwards anyway. She & Hillary are alike in so many ways.

Who gives a rat's butt about who Elizabeth Edwards supports?

Mayor Nutter wasnt even a mayor before this primary started!!! Great Choice! And as for a background check, you could not have had a better candidate than Obama. He has continued on the high road the whole time while Clinton cannot get out of the gutter. Julie from mn.

They are insiders – if the voting public has enough information to make a good decision at this point, they should have much more than enough.

It may be a good move to have prominent people like Edwards stay neutral now, so they can fully back the nominee once it is finally decided. The more important election is still to come.

Oh come on, John... Those of us who (admittedly a minority) supported you so strongly have had to make a decision (we've chosen Obama) as a plan B. The least you could do is come along for the ride...

No one should get a vote just because it would be nice to have a black president or a woman president!!! Come on people...we r talking about the presidency of the country - not some local organization!!!

Voting should be based only on who can get things done and stand tough to lobbyists and in ht einternational community

Mike or what do you call your name,yes he got it from poor people,$ 10-$25 checks and we trust him OBAMA,am not talking about SNIPER FIRE,or a PANDRING GAS TAX HOLIDAY only a fool can fall for that

The Edwards family missed the train. Their opinions are no longer relevant, so they can stop playing coy to stay in the spotlight. Time to go home to the kids, people.

At this point it's irrelevant. If he had endorsed either candidate earlier on, it might have made a small difference. At this late stage of the process, it doesn't matter any more.

Edwards is not what he would like people to believe. He has
been "waiting" for Hillary to leap ahead, so he can endorse her.
She must have promised him the V.P. That's is how the Clinton's
work. Obama is his own man.

I lost a lot of respect for Edwards and his Hillary Clinton "game"

ohhhhhhhhh he can't make up his mind by now???!!
then, there must be something wrong w/ him...
i never liked him, anyways......
his hair cut cust $$800.00............r u kidding me?

he ran twice and didnt even win his own state........

he is not important, anymore................

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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?

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

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

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.

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.........

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!

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!!!!

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.

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.

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".

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

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.

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...

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!!!!!

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

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!

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?

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.

He must be holding out for the VP spot

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.

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....................

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!

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

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..

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

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

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).

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!

Yes CNN..plug in only Obama Comments.

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

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!!!!!!

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

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.

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?

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....

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

Obviously Elizabeth wears the pants in that family!

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!

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.

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.

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?

Ask me if I care who they endorse.

"... 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!

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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.

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...

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!!!!

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

The truth is coming, eventhough it taks time, sometimes

"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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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???????

THAT IS RUDE , THOUGHTLESS & PREJUDICIAL.

EDWARDS JUST CALLED THE WINNER FOR THE

US PRESIDENCY A TOKEN. HE HAS TO BE OUT OF

HIS MIND.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

""Elizabeth is for Hillary""

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

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.

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.......

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

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!!!

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

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!

They missed the train ... not more than opportunists

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

they r waiting to see the clear winner. shame!

"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 !

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

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!

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

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.

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.....

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

GO HILLARY!!

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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')

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.

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

Can you say irrelevant....

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.

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

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?

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!

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?

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?)

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.

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

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

GOBAMA!!!!!

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

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???

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

who the hell cares "" go obama

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

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.

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

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.

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!!!

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

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

"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".

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

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.

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!!!!!

Go Obama!

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

go Hill...

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

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.

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

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.

Edwards, make-up your mind already!

Go Hillary!!!

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

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)

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,

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

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

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

This is clear endoresement for Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Mr/Mrs. Edward are great. Thanks

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.

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

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.

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

Sound like they are for HILLARY all the way!

Old news move on already...

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.

I wondering why Elizabeth roll her eyes

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

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

Sounds like they HAVE decided – and disagree.
