Obama picked up several of Edwards' delegates Thursday.
Obama picked up several of Edwards' delegates Thursday.

(CNN) – At least six of John Edwards' pledged delegates in South Carolina will throw their support to Barack Obama following Edwards’ endorsement of the Democratic frontrunner, bringing the total number of delegates switching to Obama on Thursday to eight.

One Edwards delegate from Iowa, Machelle Crum, came out for Obama on Thursday morning, as did New Hampshire delegate Joshua Denton. Crum made the decision after receiving a phone call from Edwards supporters encouraging her to make the switch.

In South Carolina, Daniel Boan, Christine Brennan-Bond, Robert Groce, Susan Smith, Mike Evatt and Lauren Bilton — all elected as pledged delegates for Edwards following his third place finish in the primary there on January 29 — announced Thursday they will follow Edwards’ lead and pledge their support to Obama at the Democratic National Convention in August.

John Moylan, the Columbia attorney who directed Edwards’ campaign in the state and is now serving as an alternate delegate for Edwards, appeared on CNN’s “American Morning” Thursday. He stated his support for Obama and hinted that more members of the Edwards delegation would follow later in the day.

“I didn't reach all eight of them, but I can tell you that at least six of the eight are prepared to endorse Senator Obama,” Moylan said this morning.

He added: “I think you will see overwhelming support of John Edwards delegates standing with John Edwards and now standing for Barack Obama.”

Bilton appeared on the show alongside Moylan and confirmed that she, too, is now supporting Obama.

Boan, Brennan-Bond and Groce, all reached by phone or e-mail, confirmed they will switch their commitment to Obama. In a separate e-mail, Moylan said that Smith and Evatt will also move into Obama’s camp.

The remaining two delegates supporting Edwards in South Carolina are Marilyn Hemingway, who told CNN she would continue to support Edwards, and Tim Moore, who said he is waiting until the primary process concludes before deciding whom to back.

Obama had reached out to Edwards' South Carolina delegation even before winning the endorsement of the former North Carolina senator. Last Thursday while in Washington, the Illinois senator arranged a conference call with the delegates to introduce himself and take questions about his campaign

Obama's grip tightens!!!!!!!!! Obama 08!!!!

richard   May 15th, 2008 12:25 pm ET

Shame on you Edwards. If there is one thing I have learned this primary season it is that my party the democratic party is not interested in what is best for America. You have embarrased me. Obama has shown over and over he is not qualified and yet the democratic elite and the far left radicals dont care. I will vote McCain, blog for him, and donate to his campaign. I ask other embarased dems to do the same. Shame on you.

WE NEED THE TRUTH   May 15th, 2008 12:26 pm ET

The delegates that Obama is going to get from the Edwards camp is going to be more that the delegates that Hillary netted out of WV…..all I can say is WOW….

Commence the senseless blabbering from people with names like Charlotte and Fred; who'd rather slam Obama in every blog than actually do something productive with their lives.

Bring on the Shrill Hill Shills to proclaim Obama's lack of appeal. I'm surprised she didn't have a "Mission Accomplished" banner at her little WV speech.

How quckly was the WV victory for Hill rendered completely insignificant? (Hillary supporters I'm not saying that to be disrespectful or mean, just stating the obvious.) Please Hill, hurry up and wrap this up so we can get to the business of helping fix whats wrong with America.

America needs a president like Borack Obama…..God be with you.

for the dems   May 15th, 2008 12:33 pm ET

I thought obama wasn't into old politics? this was the biggest political stunt I've seen in a while. they day after hillary's win, obama calls edwards and pleads with him to come aboard, so he can get the white vote. please. obama, you should be able to get it yourself. do you think that john edwards's endorsement is going to help you in the general? I don't think so.

while we're on this subject, I just hope people realize that obama is not all about new politics and new ways in washington. when he says he doesn't take money from lobbyists, that is only a HALF truth. he doesn't take money from federal lobbyists, but he does take money from state lobbyists, special interests, and SPOUSES of federal lobbyists.

I'm not anti obama or anything, i'm just calling it like it is. I want people to realize that this guys is not going to "change" washington. he is as slick as the rest of them. maybe even slicker, since he has everyone fooled.

Oh brother, everyone is out to get Hillary and i dont understand. What is it? are Amercians afraid of a Powerful Woman? It is just wrong with what is happening to her, and totally unfair. The only answer is, that people know she is powerful and a leader, and they are afraid of her. Shame on you for letting someone so qualified walk away. I really hope she runs as an independant.

Kathryn Irby - Metairie, LA   May 15th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

Wonderful!

Franky   May 15th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

You know, it was gonna happen sooner or later. I don't wanna bash Hillary but quite frankly, it literally took the energy out of her interview with Wolf and the primary win. To be honest, put yourself in Hillary supporters shoes. One day she comes up BIG, the other day she has an interview and a pretty good one and now, the endorsement. All that for nothing. That's right her supporters were pretty upset, I mean, I think it was pretty obvious…

But they're voting for McCain! I'm sure McCain relates to Hillary so they'll be fine……

Angel   May 15th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

Thats it its over. Everyone has declared Obama the winner of the primaries. Bush has already slammed him in his speech in Israel. Hillary needs to step down so The Democrats can focus on the General Election. Those 6-8 pledged delgates from John Edwards was the dagger that Obama needed to persuade other superdelgates to jump on the bandwagon

RT   May 15th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

Now THAT is news! Thanks CNN for focusing on the nominee instead of the person who is going to finish in second place for once.

RON   May 15th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

this is great…. president OBAMA

Chyrel Wallace-Jackson, Chicago Illinois   May 15th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

I'm happy for him. He's really had a couple of rough weeks. Perhaps he and Edwards need to work in a few campaign stops in Kentucky. I think he needs to at least make an effort to reach out to these constituents prior to the general election.

Jack   May 15th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

And the beat goes on! Go Obama! It is almost over. We now need to hear from all the voters who have not voted. They need to have their votes counted.

OK, better than nothing. The same amount as Ms. Clinton gained in her "outstanding" performance in WV. My colar is not blue but I am surprisingly becoming sorry for her.

Ex-Republican   May 15th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

So if I understand this correctly, Sen. Edwards delegates going to Sen. Obama just pretty much negated the whole West Virginia thing, and now 2 more unions have endorsed Sen. Obama today. I certainly hope Sen. Obama has the foresight to ask either Sen. Edwards or the Governor of Kansas Kathleen Sebelius to be his V.P. Either of the 2 would be excellent choices, as would Nancy Pelosi.

They can't be true Democrats who want to make the world a better place!

both elected to the US Senate

No track records of accomplishment
to exemplify their commttment to the underpriveleged or needy;
or support the pledges and messages of their candidacy.

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

Carrying a shovel around in New Orleans and working as a community organizer in Chicago is hardly a show of accomplishment

Okay, I just read the blog about the sweetie comment. What is the matter with you people? Why on earth would someone take offense at someone calling them sweetie. I cannot believe it was even a story worth the time and money used to print it. I am recommending counselling because your anger must keep you awake at night. Some people on these blogs say the most ridiculous things.

Keep on going——–going——-and going. There may not have been a blow out but it's been consistent. It may not have been a plane ride but a train ride. Drip, drip and drip. Slow but staedy wins the race. Consistency is God's motto for human success.

Go! Obama

Russ C, Seattle, Wa   May 15th, 2008 12:39 pm ET

We are beginning to see how the party will come together around it's candidate. Frankly I am a bit relieved because it was feeling a bit dicey what with backers of both candidates talking about abstaining or voting for McCain. This is definitely not the year to register disapproval in this way.

No Hillary   May 15th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH… this is great news…. this will make up for Hillary's "crushing win" in VA.

Hey Hillary, time to prepare your goodbye speech.

OPEN QUESTION TO EDWARDS..:

YOU DON^T MIND :
more than 90% of african americans are voting for OBAMA

BUT YOU ARE WORRIED
Hillary is getting more votes from some white community people…

I am not from the white community but I feel this is not right…

tammy   May 15th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

Barack "sweetie" Obama and the media, it's time to treat women equally and have a fair compeitition. If you become our nominee, I can never vote for you cause you haven't been playing fair.

Tony Z- MD   May 15th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

Thank you- Edwards and the folks of SC.

Monica   May 15th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

This just clarifies the importance of Edwards endorsement for all of the Hillary supporters who have been calling him names and saying who cares that he endorsed Barack.

GREGG LA   May 15th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

OBAMA IS NOW GOING TO ATTEND ON EDWARDS SUNDAY SERVICE

EDWARDS DON'T MATTER BEFORE, HE DON'T MATTER NOW!

Sue   May 15th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

As a woman who has worked with men fighting to climb the office ladder, I can tell you, that when it comes to a promotion, 99% of the time, if it is between a man and a woman, the guys will alwas gang up on the female and make sure one of the good old boys gets the job. It's a guy thing, I am sure the gentleman from the South was just doing his duty.

As far as his followers, please hold off and vote at the convention. You had a chance to vote, let the remaining states have a say.

I watch CNN, but when they announced that Edwards would appear, I turned the TV off. It also appears Edwards likes the lime light so I would expect that every day until Obama picks a Vice President, Edwards will look forward to being asked whether he is willing to be VP. Edwards ran once and couldn't get it done for us. He had his turn.

I will put my faith in the woman who is willing to take all you guys on. It is obvious that you can't win unless you all gang up on her.

Thank you Hillary Clinton, you have made me proud and a great example for my 13 year old daughter.

csimp   May 15th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

I am a fat lady and I am singing. It is over Hillary. Now lets work toether to unify the Democrats.

Pamela, Chicago, IL   May 15th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

Hillary, we admire your will to continue but please, for the good of the party… STOP! It is time to stop the rhetoric and deluded arguments to continue. The math is not in your favor. Let Sen Obama turn to the general election and win the White House for the Democrats. As you have already stated, a vote McCain is ill advised. But as long as you are making a counter argument against another democrat, that factoid is being lost in the media circus. If you want to preserve any change you have as an elected official in the future, act graciously. The race baiting comments, the mathmatical gymnastics and the constant moving of the goal posts is not doing your reputation any favors. At the start of your campaign, as a woman I was energized and excited, but now I cannot even watch you on TV as you make petty comments and spout unrealistic strategies. Don't block your blessing. Greater things than the White House await you.

I dont think his endorsement is going to amount to much. Where was Elisabeth? I find it hard to beleive that Edwards has agreed with Obama on one of his key issues Health care. I know Elisabeth dosent agree. I suspect that Obama will owe HUGE favors to Richardson edwards and the likes. SOUNDS LIKE NEW POLITICS TO ME..gOOD LUCK TO ALL YOU DEMS VOTING FOR OBAMA. I am hoping Clinton runs as independent candiate, but if her loyality prevails her, I will still vote for her in Nov. Even if she isnt the nominee.

rich   May 15th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

Impeach Bush now.. he should have been impeached for falsely sending our troops to an unneccssary war…… nothing but debt and higher oil prices came from Iraq..

Clear Thinking Independant Voter   May 15th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

Given that these delegates have exersized their right to make their own decision as to whom to back …. it is particularly refreshing that 3 of these 6 delegates are women.

Mr. Obama …. a true friend to feminists … and the "little guy" … a true foe to the moneyed lobbyists representing the corporations.

He is a transformational candidate who will forever change the way campaigns & elections are conducted in this country.

Let honor & dignity triumph!

Steve Ford   May 15th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

WONDERFUL!

Let's get this show on the road.

It's time to unify the party and get to the business of defeating John McCain in November.

I would like to send a big thank you and welcome aboard to the entire Edwards camp!

BRAVO!

trevor   May 15th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

It is disheartening to read posts from previous articles. I was once a proud Hillary backer, and still find her to be a strong Democratic candidate. I do believe however, that Barak Obama is the stronger nominee. For all of you who are so polarized between one of the candidates, and ridiculously claim you will vote for McCain if your person loses the Primary, go cry somewhere else…THAT GOES FOR BOTH SIDES!

If any of you are paying attention, the Democratic Candidates positions are nearly identical, and both have pledged to campaign their hearts out for other if they lose the nomination.

I do believe its time for Hillary to move on, and I have moved to the Obama camp only bc he seems more above the old politics of Washington, but they are both fine Americans, w nearly the exact same platforms who would protect us from any more Conservative Judges on the Supreme Court serving life terms.

In fact, if Hillary didnt have such phony campaign staffers she would probably have had a chance to win. Barak offers a new type of leadership that I believe all Democrats will be proud of in November, just my opinion. But if your candidate loses, most likely HRC, remember her dedication to the party, a write in for a candidate that can't win is a waste of the Constitutional Right to Vote that our country was founded on, and is a vote against your own self interest.

That slices Clinton's 10 point net gain down to 2. At this rate, West Virginia's delegate gain won't even matter.

John from Illinois   May 15th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

Ding dong… the witch is dead, the witch is dead!! Hillbilly needs to wake up and smell the change in the air….

Accountant Guy   May 15th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

This is great news! Thank you Mr. Edwards and too the superdelegates who are following your lead.

Disgusted   May 15th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

So what, John Edwards is a complete LOSER….Yea, he was so successful with Kerry, his own campaign, his state , so I'm sure he'll do wonders for Obama! Hillary has been railroaded in the Campaign and it's sickening! I dont think racism is the problem, it's sexism. This is why my vote is for John McCain~he may be a republican, but at least the man is a patriot and has always been proud of our country and will do everything to protect it….Unlike OB who will have a sit down with the same Countries that want to obliterate us (IRAN). Feel sorry for Israel, because if they are ever attacked God help them because Obama will have to wait and think about what to do! Oh, and I could care less about the Democratic party or Roe v Wade(I'm PROLIFE anyway) And, I cannot in good conscience vote for someone that will do nothing but harm this country in the long run…you people should really do your homework on OB and his wife….But being "typical" OB supporters, I'm sure you find some way to excuse him!

Tip   May 15th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

All right South Carolina, my home state!!!!

Carol   May 15th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

Congratulations CNN, this has only been news since yesterday.

Roberto   May 15th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

This is a real positive sign. Obama & Edwards would make for a great team for the White House in November. Let the floodgates open and let the endorsements for Obama flow. With the steelworkers' union and the pro-choice support given to Obama, the road to uniting the party begins. It's unfortunate that Clinton has put herself in a position to be on the outside looking in.

Make no mistake about it, the Democrats will be united in front of the media. However, there is no way that all Democrats are happy with the way she has conducted herself during these primaries. And it sure seems like she's been spoken to, as the tone in her message is a lot more cordial; like suggesting it would be crazy that Clinton supporters not to back Obama if he should be the nominee for president. You can bet someone had to remind her that she was part of the Democratic party and not fighting republicans or independants in this primary process.

Kudos to Hillary for toning it down.
Kudos to Edwards for his endorsement.
Kudos to Oabama for having kept constant contact with Edwards and his delegates in hoping to work together to make America, better, stronger, and united.

Obama forever   May 15th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

First……. hee hee…..

This is just the beginning… All Dems need to unite… the talk of jumping ship to McCain is silly.. Anyone willing to do so is crazy.. Because your candidate didn't make it, you'd shoot yourself in the foot to smite your face…. Crazy!

GO OBAMA!

Independent   May 15th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

Welcom delegates. There is room for all who want to lead this country in a new direction!

Michael in Lorton, Virginia   May 15th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

Looks like the delegates are buying their tickets for the Obama Express. Pretty soon, there will be standing room only.

LYNETTE IN CA   May 15th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

This is fabulous news! The end is in sight! GO OBAMA!

Lisa   May 15th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

I don't like Edwards anymore. Instead of bringing the party together he's trying to throw Obama down our throats.

She still beat Obama by 41 points and no one can take that away from her.

Ralph   May 15th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

We're happy to have you on our team.

Sam Shrum   May 15th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

Edwards couldn't even carry his own state in the 2004 election. What a loser! Good you are joining Obama.

ANGRY ALL CAPS BLAH BLAH BLAH!

WOW - Cedar Hill, TX   May 15th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

This is so great!!!! Thanks so much Edwards for choosing to join the best team……

This is freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kenneth M   May 15th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

Wow, this makes WV seem so long ago. I mean that was just two days ago and already 11 people and 2 organizations have endored Obama. What is she going to do now? I mean, Obama is sucking all of the air right out of the room.

Jan Boca Raton, Fl   May 15th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

That's great.

Now I hope the Obama supporters will stop bashing Hillary.

Their nappy headed boy is going to be the nominee, so
let it be.

As for me I am a democrat that will be voting for John McCain,

Wait until the next scandal comes out about Obama college GAY days.

WV   May 15th, 2008 12:49 pm ET

There goes the lead Clinton won in WV !

From a deeage standpoint, this win is bigger for Obama, than for Hillary winning West Virginia!

Margeaux   May 15th, 2008 12:49 pm ET

BO is too full of BS for my liking.

Michigan for Obama   May 15th, 2008 12:49 pm ET

Why did Hilliary say in Oct. 07 that Michigan & Florida votes didnt matter? And now she wants us to be counted. Which is it? U dont need us when your winning, but when your losing it's not over until our votes are counted. what a wack job…

Ostriches burying our heads in the sand   May 15th, 2008 12:49 pm ET

Awesome! We are getting closer to the finish line!

OBAMA/EDWARDS 08   May 15th, 2008 12:49 pm ET

Countdown to the nomination   May 15th, 2008 12:49 pm ET

I just went to the CNN delegate counter. I gave her Kentucky and PR at a win of 65 percent. And I gave them a tie in OR, SD and MN. That will give him 1973, leaving him needing only 52 super's. So if he gets these six that will be 46 to go.
46 to go.

John   May 15th, 2008 12:49 pm ET

MR. AMERICA   May 15th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

MR. AMERICA is a superdelagate who was waiting for Edwards to make a move. You will see a few more supers in the next few days move to Obama, and MR. AMERICA, while nameless on the CNN blogs, shall be one of them.

htp   May 15th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

It's very sad to see how the "new politic" played the exact "old politic". He needs Edward to rescue him, who is going to rescue us. "Baby Obama " will loose our votes. Shame on DNC. Our votes will be for Hillary or Mc Cain. DNC=Obama are the ones to ruin the party.

Well we ALL know that the Edwards Endorsement means NOTHING right?? Just ask the Clinton supporters who have been telling us that ever since he did.

SURE Hillary didn't need his silly delegates anyway. She plans on stealing it anyway. KEEP DREAMING!!

I am so sick of all you Obama supporters spewing the fact that he has won all these states! What a bunch of BS….they were CAUCASES! Which do not represent all of the people! Hillary won by a landslide in WV and will do so again in KY…She wins the primaries which supports the majority of the people

Edwards can F off, We didn't need his support anyway. I'm writing in Hillary Clinton in the General election. This is insane!!!!

Obama supporters are the worst group of supporters i'v seen in a long time. Because of their rude remarks about Clinton Supporters. Obama lost my vote in the general election.

Sorry guys but that's 1 vote you can NOT count on. :)

Matt   May 15th, 2008 12:54 pm ET

So, using Hillary's logic, does this mean that not only should Barack get John's delegates, but should he also get his votes? And Bill's? And Chris'? Oh yeah I forgot, delegates don't matter to her any more.

Proud American   May 15th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

The more the merrier. Now lets go get McCain out of the way. Democrats need to be in the White House ASAP!!!

John Edwards is like one of those bandwagon sports "fans". You know the ones — they wait until the team has already won the Super Bowl, and the next day they're wearing a team hat and jacket, and they're all of a sudden "big fans". What a spineless poseur….

gerald strother   May 15th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

Dear Clinton supporters,
Lets unite the party, we need to win in the general election. As she said, voting for Mccain would be a terrible mistake.

Joe   May 15th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

It's about time we end this primary for the good of all.. thank you Senator Edwards…

Proud1of 26% in WV   May 15th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

These are the unselfish delegates who have the whole country in mind instead of one person.They say a picture paints a thousand words ,last night the looks on Lou Dobbins' and Bill Schneider's faces was priceless when they said " the timing ,right in the middle of Hillary's big day".Priceless.!!!

Obama, well - NEVER

starr   May 15th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

it has not been the policy of granting conncessions to potential enemies to maintain peace. so why would you think obama would be thing on these lines now. all we need to do is let iraq handle their own mess.

Mike in the Atl   May 15th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

Travis (in the real world)   May 15th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Finallly some people with sense has determined this nonsense will soon be over. Alll we need is a few more to get off the fence and Billary will have to stop screaming about numbers. She's taken every possible trick out of the bag (as supplied by Bill) to extend it as long as she can. To think a young fella sold his bicycle and gave it to Hilllary for Chelsie's trip to sunny San Juan. Shame on you Hillary.

Charles in Florida   May 15th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

It is very encouraging that after all Obama has had thrown at him that he remains the canidate in the lead. This gives this old white woman in Alabama hope for our country as even the president of the US is in a foreign country bashing him. We know every one in the world discounts any thing Bush says, but it is mind boggling that even he sinks that low.

To vote against Obama is to give the republicans another 4 yrs. We cannot allow that to happen.United we stand divided we fall.Go Obama 08!!!!!!! God bless the U.S.A.

Hillary , Its over… Don't be so selfish… the longer you stay in this race , the more damage you do in the party.. What do you expect to happen to Obama for you to get the nomination?
Are triying to do something very bad? We don't trust you…!!!

The Austrian   May 15th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

It's really going to happen, isn't it? The socialist Obama will likely be our president… I suppose that they only prayer we have is that the infighting between Obama-nuts and Hillary-ites coupled with the GOPs own aversion to McCain coupled with whatever nincompoop he chooses as his VP will lead to the first time a third party can win the White House.

To Ron Paul and those like-minded–please save us from these fools…

Fran   May 15th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

this was part of Howard Dean's plans to pick his 25 super-superdelegates who would ensure that the delegates would see it Dean's way and to elect Obama. Don't fall for it

Independent for Obama   May 15th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Sweet! It is great that the Edwards supporters trust the judgment of Edwards and will move to back the nominee. Hopefully Hillary Clinton supporters will listen to her words, in stating that it would be a grave error not to vote Obama in the general election, and back the democratic nominee as well.

stop the madness   May 15th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Thank you and keep them coming!!!

I thought Hillary's guy said that we were to expect a flood of SDs going to Hillary after her "BiiiiiG" thump, "WiiiiiN" in WV. Well I guess we just need to keep waiting, theyes a comen'. NOT!!!!!

I think Edwards is a joke. Tell him to style his hair more and kiss Obama's (you know what)! It's typical politics. Obama needs white voters, well he isn't getting it through Edwards. It's obvious they are both using each other. Edwards wants to be VP. My entire family is voting for McCain before Obama if Hillary doesn't get the nom. It will be funny to see Obama Vs. McCain and every state will turn RED. Except 3 of them. LOL

Amazing, Obama's delegate count just keeps on growing. Hillary should bow out, not because she's being pushed out(her victim approach, but because she has no way to get the nomination. I only hope that Obama realizes that he'll lose support if he puts her on the ticket.

Texas   May 15th, 2008 1:05 pm ET

Edwards has lost his appeal to most people. People are not looking at facts just trying to be politically correct.

Disappointed in California   May 15th, 2008 1:05 pm ET

Good old boys club at work……too bad Edwards moved now….he could have at least waited until the DNC seated Michigan/Florida and the rest of the primaries were concluded. There was no rush except the DNC boys want Obama to win. Just another looser supporting Obama.

McCain will win in November - no doubt! Obama is no change - just the same loosers with a new memeber to the club!

Obama is not the most liberal senator. Look at their voting records. There is only 1 difference in votes between him and Clinton. Obama was not able to vote on a few occasions which gave him the false title as most liberal senator.

Lanre   May 15th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

I agree. One America!

Not the message that to win the presidency we need blue collar working hard-working whites of WV. And that no democrat has won the white house without winning the "certain" white people of WV.

To win the presidency, democrats need all people: white, black, hispanic, you name it, to come together and realize that when we bleed, cry, are happy, and laugh we share the same basic instincts deep down.

Think about or soldiers, when they fight, win a battle, watch each others backs, and even lose loved ones, color means nothing! They are bound by brother-hood, and to be PC of course, sister-hood too!

And I think it is time that we begin to talk to the leaders of nations that we have deemed rogue. Talking does not necessarily mean friendship or appeasement ! It means respect. Ostracizing these leaders does not do us any good, it actually breeds fear! Rather we should be gentle with them and yet know that we can, and will, carry a big stick, always.

Here's the deal: together we stand but divided we fall. Ship racists (black, white, hispanic and whomever) to Saturn. I'd volunteer with that task.

US Woman President Supporter   May 15th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

I expect John Edwards wouldn't take woman leadership… He cann't. He is a typical whiteman. He praises Hillay for his own political reason…

I strongly believe Hillary will make it…

simon   May 15th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

JOE BIDEN, here's a man that was overlooked by the American public
in favor of no- news hogs, Clinton and Obama.

Of course, DUNCAN HUNTER was cast aside by the GOP in favor of McCain the InSane.

What fools the American public more thoroughly than fools themselves?

Go Obama 08/12   May 15th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

This is called progress in motion a great team /Thanks John Edwards for joining this ongoing movement.
Never been this excited about an election/ it is our future .

Tony   May 15th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

At this point it doesn't matter who endorses Obama he must prove himself in the debates with the other party. He has not been able to demostrate anything yet except make some speaches but has no clear position on what matters to the American Voter. These endorsements count as 1 vote but think of the people that do not agree with the endorsements. I hope that Hillary proves everyone wrong and gets the Democrate Party behind her or I plus alot of people who i have spoken to will vote REPUBLICAN.
