(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!!!!
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.
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....
OBAMA 08,12
Duh!!
Edwards is a LOSER!!
The begining of the end...Democracy in the USA is Defunct....
OBAMA 08
P.S. CNN – BIAS. Shame on you CNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A country full of sheep. Ba-a-ah!
Oba-a-a-hma for Head Cheerleader.
Clinton For President!!!
Oh yeah-Oh yeah, the Dems are taking Washington back! Now it's time for security to go and pack Bush's bags and sit them on the curb right along with him and the crew...lol
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.
OMG! keepem' comin'...........OBAMA-08!
Look out McThuselah, the Obama Express is is coming!
All Aboard!
This will not help him win the election. Does not change the fact that Obama lacks judgement and experience.
Clinton 08 or bust
How many now for the majority delegates?
Obama 08
Dear Hillary
THE END!
Ok its over now, Obama should be over the required number of delegates by next tuesday.
Cool beans!!!!
Yay!!! Onward President Obama!!!
YAY !!!!
OBAMA '08
YES WE CAN !!!!
welcome aboard!! Thank you !! Time to unite !!!
That rocks!
Bring on the general election.
Throw in the towel Hillary! You're getting pummeled!
GREAT!!! OBAMA/CLINTON '08
1. Defeat Osama
2. Defeat Obama
3. Defeat Chelsea's mamma
McCain 2008!
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.
Great news.....Congratulations !
VP.
That is wonderful news. Let's put this to bed and go after McCain.
We need a democrat in the WH.
Steel Workers Union, edwards pledged delegates follwoing him to Obama, and the Clinton people said his endorsement meant nothing lol. He got more out of this endorsement than any Superdelegate one he's gotten do far.
...as the noose tightens....
Obama '08
Excellent. Forward progress in the recapturing the greatness of this country.
The writing is on the wall for Hillary.
Alright let's all unify behind Obama!
Hate Hillary!
Hate McCain!
Obama '08!
This is not the Super Bowl. We have a chance to unite and have a democrat in the office for the next 4 years. Let's put our petty arguments about Obama and Hillary to the side and make this happen.
Democrat 4 Life!!!
Two Left Wing Nuts for the price of one!
Vote for an Adult who knows what they are talking about and doing!
McCain 08
I think the media should start calling Obama "Boy", until he and his sexist supporters understand why you don't call a woman "sweetie" in a professional setting.
Welcome to the team, Daniel, Christine, Robert, Susan, Mike and Lauren!
It won't be long now.
Obama '08!
WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOHOO!!!
Al Gore did you watch the Edwards-Obama spectacle ?
Remember Florida..recount?.....revote? Be the man of honor and let the voters decide this primary
Hate Hillary!
Hate McCain!
Obama '08
sorry Hillary you are toast
... cue the sore-loser "Judas!" chants of delusional Clinton supporters.
Ahh, this race has been a great source of amusement. I will miss it when it's over.
The media should start calling Obama "Boy", until he and his sexist supporters understand why you don't call a woman "sweetie" in a professional setting!
Please, Obama supporters: No more trashing or taunting the Clinton supporters. We need them this fall. Be adults!
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.
It's time to change from white to black!
Change we can believe in!
Hate Hillary!
Hate McCain!
Obama '08
Who needs "experience" when you have.....a brilliant mind....a good heart....sincere friends.....and a multitude of people who believe in you.
America needs a president like Borack Obama.....God be with you.
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.
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
Obama 08
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.
Wonderful!
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......
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
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.
let them keep coming... i wish i was a super delegate.... lol
this is great.... president OBAMA
Thank you, Delegates!
Obama/Edwards '08
YES!
Thank you and welcome to the "O" Team!
Let's work together and bring hope and the American Dream!
Great job Obama!
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.
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.
THAK YOU SENATOR EDWARD
Hate all that oppose Obama!
We don't need the white people's vote!
Obama '08
Good.
CNN – you have reported on Obama's endorsement from my state yet!
Come on...
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.
Clinton....its ok..we will make this very painful for you! LOL
But your ship is sinking very very very quickly.
We don't need Hillary's supporters!
Hate Hillary!
Hate McCain!
Obama '08
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.
McCain '08
Yippee! Let's unite, Dems, and work for peace, the environment, getting people out of poverty, and restoring our respect around the world! Don't listen to the Operation Chaos people on these blogs who pretend to be Hillary supporters, and say they will write in her name or vote for McCain. They can't be true Democrats who want to make the world a better place!
Welcome aboard all! Guess this kinda cancels out that WV Blow out right! lol!
Two men with populist messages,
both elected to the US Senate
where they soon declared a bid for the presidency.
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
dont stop, get it get it........let's get ready to rumble...............
obama/nagel 2008/2012......this election is going to electrifying and i can't wait to campaign in NJ for Obama....i'm so excited.
Hate Hillary!
Hate McCain!
Hate the white people!
Hate America!
Obama '08
WOW! Isn't this an exciting time in America right now. Regardless of who you are backing it is just really exciting.
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.
Let's go America!!!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is great news. I believe Edwards made the right choice in backing Obama for the Democratic Party.
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
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.
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...
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.
Thank you- Edwards and the folks of SC.
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.
OBAMA IS NOW GOING TO ATTEND ON EDWARDS SUNDAY SERVICE
EDWARDS DON'T MATTER BEFORE, HE DON'T MATTER NOW!
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.
I am a fat lady and I am singing. It is over Hillary. Now lets work toether to unify the Democrats.
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.
Like McDonalds, "I'm lov'in it!"
YES WE CAN!
That is amazing.... TO ALL CLINTONITES.....IT"S OVER THE FAT LADY IS SINGING!!!!
OBAMA 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now obama is winning even pledge delegates without any primary !!!
what a lucky guy !
Yo, Billary....
"Na-na-NAAAA-NAAAA, na-na- NAAAAA-NAAAAAA.... Hey, hey, hey... GOODBYE."
un-educated NASCAR rednecks and women who love women, lets start to support the next President of the United States, Barack Obama.
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.
what was that threshold number of delegates needed.
The Edama for Obama.... Sound's Soapy.
NO to selfish Hillary!!
Godd deal.. lets end this thing.... I have nothing against Hillary... but Bush and John McCain are already hitting Dems hard.. its time to stop fighting each other (Dems) and move McSane and No Nothing Bush out of the way......I can't say Bush do not know anything.. he knew just enough to cause catastrophic damage to all of AMERICA....
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..
I M P E A C H B U S H N O W ! !
YES-WE-CAN !
Join Us !
Welcome aboard ladies and gentlemen. It's time to focus on the GE so please bring all your delegate friends with you.
This is a smart thing to do to put in end en this process that seems endlessness.
Go forward people!
I WAS WATCHING CNN LAST NIGHT AND IT WAS STATED THAT THE EDWARDS ENDORSEMENT WOULDN'T MEAN ANYTHING BECAUSE IT WAS LATE..... REALLY? IS THAT RIGHT CNN?
Pshaw...what do superdelegates have to do with anything?
Only 135 delegates to go! The fat lady is singing! The fat lady in pant's suits is the loser!
GREAT NEWS. HILLARY U HAVE RUN A FANTASTIC CAMPAIGN. BUT OBAMA IS THE CLEAR FRONT RUNNER. NOW IT IS TIME TO UNITE, BOTH HILLARY AND HER SUPPORTERS, SO WE CAN SEND BUSH PACKING ASAP, AS WELL AS HIS CLOSE FRIEND "McBUSH"
Good for Obama! Thanks, John Edwards for your support!
i love how hillary wasn't mentioned not once today. let's keep it that way.
And we are suppose to care because ... Obama is losing support and need Edwards help?
Time to back the nominee. Clinton has been great and will continue to be a leader in the new democratic party!
Obama 08
LET'S HEAR YOUR SPIN ON THIS, HILLARY, WOLFSON, CARRVILLE LENNY, KIKI, AND THE REST OF HILLARY'S DISCIPLES.
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!
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!
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.
Ding dong... the witch is dead, the witch is dead!! Hillbilly needs to wake up and smell the change in the air....
This is great news! Thank you Mr. Edwards and too the superdelegates who are following your lead.
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!
All right South Carolina, my home state!!!!
Congratulations CNN, this has only been news since yesterday.
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.
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!
Welcom delegates. There is room for all who want to lead this country in a new direction!
Sa-weeeeet!!!!!!!!!
This is great. For all those that said Edwards endorsements meant nothing, COUNT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
let's roll, Obama Express, all aboard!
Looks like the delegates are buying their tickets for the Obama Express. Pretty soon, there will be standing room only.
This is fabulous news! The end is in sight! GO OBAMA!
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.
We're happy to have you on our team.
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!
This is so great!!!! Thanks so much Edwards for choosing to join the best team......
This is freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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.
bring it on home for Barack!!!!!!!!
There goes the lead Clinton won in WV !
From a deeage standpoint, this win is bigger for Obama, than for Hillary winning West Virginia!
BO is too full of BS for my liking.
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...
Awesome! We are getting closer to the finish line!
We welcome them.
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.
Turn out the lights, the party is over!
Good Job.
As was expected.
This nullifies WV.
Greatest endorser, John Edwards. Thank you so much!
Good.....there shall be weeping and a moaning and a gnashing of teeth in the HillBilly camp!
Obama '08
Alrighty.......Yes We Can......
Good News for Obama and his supporters.....Yeah!
All aboard.............Choo Choo!!!
Obama "08"
Thats BS, they should vote for Edwards... This whole election process is broken, I dont care who gets in anymore we need to make every vote count and make this season shorter...
Keep them coming. God bless America.
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.
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.
C'MON NOW Y'ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BA ' RACK THAT VOTE!
I can see the checkered flag, this race is over!
Welcome, welcome, welcome S.C. delegates!
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!!
It's been a really good 24 hours for Hope and Change!
Welcome aboard the Obama Express.... It's FULL SPEED on to the WHITE HOUSE!!!!
Edward is a loser.
campaign strategy at its best~GO BARAK!
Thank you John Edwards and delegates. Lets finish this up and start on the fall campaign. Yes We Can!! Obama 08
Great job South Carolina delagates!
OBAMA 2008
I'd expect all of Edwards delegates move to Obama over the next day or so.
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
KEEP THEM COMING!!!
OBAMA '08
Hate Hillary!
Hate McCain!
Hate America!
Obama '08
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.
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.
The more the merrier. Now lets go get McCain out of the way. Democrats need to be in the White House ASAP!!!
That's wonderful. Thank you to my neighbors in South Carolina.
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....
GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
It's about time we end this primary for the good of all.. thank you Senator Edwards...
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.!!!
Edwards continues to be a backside kisser. Once a LOSER, always a LOSER!
We know, we know.... everyone wants OBAMA....
except for half of the voters who want Hillary.
the movement is on and in motion...
McCain '08 for Clinton '12
Obama, well – NEVER
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.
Clinton democrats its time for us to stop fighting and unite into one to stop McBush. Lets get behind Obama and fight to get this election won in Nov.....
Great job South Carolina delegates!
OBAMA 2008
It's time for THIS GUY TO GET Iimpeavhed to save him from himself, and doing more harm to America
Hillary under sniper fire!
McCain too old!
Hate Hillary and McCain!
We don't need Hillary's supporters!
Obama '08
Just another 121 for the nomination. I think more supers are going to announce soon. This should be wrapped up in no time.
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.
Long Live John Edwards! Thank you: Daniel Boan, Christine Brennan-Bond, Robert Groce, Susan Smith, Mike Evatt and Lauren Bilton for endorsing Senator Obama!
Good decision! Time for Barack to move to the Front of the Libne and get the job DOne..
Let's get this over with soon. The pants suite is getting tight!
SUPERDELEGATES we are very PROUD that you can read THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL. We will remember when it is time to RE-ELECT. THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!!!!!!!!
WE ARE THE HISTORY MAKING, RESTORING HONOR BACK TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
**********************OBAMA "08" AND "12"******************************
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.
We don't need Hillary's supporters! They can go on and vote for McCain!
NO UNITY!!!
BLACK AMERICA
Obama '08
It is time to come together now and fight for our future.It is time to come together and support Obama and rebuild our nation back to greatness and stability.We will beat mccain-bush. 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...!!!
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...
Woo Hoo!!!
Obama O-8!!
It Over. Obama is the Democratic Nominee. Obama 08'
Clinton let's end this nonsense and UNITE the party.
Clinton, if you want the Veep, you'd better endore Obama right now
before he reaches 2026.
Come on over, we welcome you!
It is all over.The market is over and the buyers and sellers are going home. Hillary clinton and her team knows what i mean.
Way To Go Obama!! The Flood Continues!!
Obama/Edwards '08
(they looked good together last night, didn't they?
It's over people. Period.
Time to reconcile, get our priorities straight, unite, and get a democrat in the Whitehouse.
Democrat '08
I will not vote for your sweetie-pie, I will write in Hillary Clinton. I cannot believe the best candidate, who won the big blue states, is not the nominee!
it is a great news for Sen Obama.
it is time to move on to the general election.
I wish Sen Clinton would have agree with me on this
Obama 08
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
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.
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!!!!!
Wow.............God bless Senators Edwards and Obama. American want people like you.
Obama 08 & 12
Apparently this doesn't matter. After all, Hillary is a sore loser and will draw this out as long as possible.
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
Great Job Edwards! Thank you for supporting Obama. He is the Hope for our Furture!!
OBAMA / EDWARDS 08
welcome aboard!
Obama Edwards 2008!
I saw this one coming when he dropped out.
Thanks a lot Edwards. Great, just throw Obama in there.
Give it up HRC
I used to have respect for Edwards, but not anymore. He is just another politician. Why he endorsed Obama a day after Hillary won WV. He could have done it last week even on Monday. I'm not a fool. No Obama for me.
All Aboard!!!
Congrats Mr. Obama!
Oh what a bunch of sweeties! Now BO has someone who can speak off the cuff in whole sentences. I bet John KNOWS how many states we have!
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.
Edwards has lost his appeal to most people. People are not looking at facts just trying to be politically correct.
AWESOME!! No need to say more!
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!
Welcome to the future of change in America. You won't regret it. Thank you.
It's time for THIS GUY TO GET Iimpeached to save him from himself, and ftom doing more harm to America
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.
Edwards is the secon Juda!
I rely hope that they do now what they are doing!
Anyhow, Americans will speack in November!
Welcome to camp Obama, good choice and good work
Keep them comming, we need every one
GREAT!!!! Go Dems!!!!!!!!!!!!
McCain Democrats to the rescue!
This is great news! At least these people understand that we must unite with our party and stop all of this division. There is only one america, not white america, black america or latino america. We need to stop trying to divide the each other and unite.
One Party '08
Moderate me go ahead. People are pushing Obama into the nomination and half of us out here can't stand him. Go ahead, he will lose the general election.
The democratic party nomination is over. Let's get on with the presidential campaigns.
Hillary Clinton For President, 2016
LARRY HUTCHINSON CANDIDATE FOR 49TH DISTRICT STATE REPRESENTATIVE, I BELIEVE THE UPHILL ROAD FOR MRS. CLINTON HAS BECOME AN EVEN HARDER ROAD TO HO.
im so happy , so much happy that at least Edwards atlast endorse Obama.and my wish and praying to God that John Edward to be- comes Obamas VP.they are both joung will much.it will be the best.
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.
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...
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?
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 .
Change "Yes we Can" 08/12
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.
Finally........Edwards joins the train.........Welcome aboard sir, your endorsement is very much appreciated.
Final boarding call for all those "fence-sitting" sups!!!!!
drip drip
floood
yes stand for change
it all falls down hillary...
On and on till the break of dawn.
Obama/Anybody but Hillary 08
Who cares what John Edwards does? Really. He did not win one primary. If he won his HOME STATE in 2004 then he would be Vice President Edwards. Edwards is one of the most irrelevant figures on the political scene today. While the liberals line up behind Mr. Obama, he will take the party over the cliff in November.
Good!
here comes the flood!!!!! Obama 08
Any word from Wolfson? McAullife? This appears finally over, he could have as many as another 10 Supers coming in today, it looks like the Dems are consolidated around him, all the big institutions are behind him now...I think it is time for Clinton to bow out and lets move this forward. I do not think she will do this however. She now trails in ORE by 20 points, SD and Montana by 10 points, leads in KY, but I think voter turnout will be low...people are losing interest..I even noticed CNN appears to have given up on propping her up...
Sean Hannity, eat your heart out. I guess they will be checking out Obama's childhood friends to make him responsible for any thing the might have said or done in the past now.
Obama 08
They know who is the most electable and it sure ain't her. Which brings up another point, how is Hillary more electable when she is loosing in every way????
just in 3 more supers for Barak.. total 14 since last tuesday.. her total 1.5..hmmm
Welcome, come on in boys, the water is fine.
I thought John Edwards won something like 26 delegates before dropping out. The only articles that I have read mention eight. What about the other 18?
Good stuff, I dont think this guy was ever gonna endorse Hillary Clinton so this is no surprise to me. Im sure his endorsement didnt go down to well with his wife because I know she liked Hillary's ideas.
WOW! IT IS REALLY OVER!
yes we can! Obama 08
Politic is the wrose game in the world.
Edwards, you are a weak-minded fool.I have a feeling that your wife thinks so too. Why would you support the most dangerous man in history to run for president of this country.History already shows you as a loser and history will show obama as a destroyer.
Great...Ready to move on.
This is a FIXED democratic nomination process. I understand Clinton wanting to finish out the process but after June 3rd, she need to announce her bid as an independent candidate!!!
The Democratic Party are going to get exactly what is coming to them!
Clinton/Independent 08!!!
I imagine it will play out as many have suggested: Obama wins Oregon big on Tuesday, the same day Clinton wins big in Kentucky (neither is campaining in the other state); both declare victory; Clinton makes a speech that she wants to stay in but it's not in the cards, she thanks her supporters, encourages them to vote Obama, game over.
They both look good; she retains a shread of dignity.
That's just outstanding South Carolina delegates!!
Thank you all
Since the topic of Obama apoligizing for calling the reporter
sweety, I'll coment here.
Watch out Michell, he's just getting warmed up, wait till he
get's into the White House, if he does, the Monica thing was
nothing.
Funny, I thought Obama had a disdain for "good ol boys?"
The Democrats men jumping ship for Obama are a bunch of male chavunist pigs. They cant stand for a woman to best them. That goes for King Obama, himself. Its terrible to think that angry black man and his angry wife may be in the White House. I will move to Canada or sneak across the border to Mexico at night. Besides his angry , too liberal views, I am afraid the kin folks from Kenya will bring their goats when they visit and ruin the White House.
Instead of endorsing Obama what he should do is throw his hat back in the ring at the convention. I think enough people relize what a mistake it was to not vote for the best person which Edwards is.
Great news!!! Let's get behind the nominee and unite the party. It is clear where this road is leading and there are many times when democrats have voted symbolically when the nominee is already clear.
Even so, I feel compelled to remind everyone that every delegate has the right and duty to vote for me, no matter who they're pledged to. Taking that into account, I am now ahead in popular vote, pledged delegates, and super delegates. I win.
Nice.... I just wish him good. Go Obama Go.
Raz
Bush's statements in Israel underscore the need for the Democrats to unite right now and restore our reputation in the world. I am sure this was a difficult decision for Mr. Edwards but he did the right thing. Clinton and Obama are both excellent candidates and would make great presidents... but there is not a moment to waste.
Losers!!!!!!!!! Who cares! Go a head and support a lying snake like Barack Hussain OBAMA!
And I am a HIlllary supporter that will if the lying snake wins will support McCain.
Go Hillary 2008!
The "Dixiecrats" are at it again (doing whatever they want to without the votes). Dixiecrat is the term used in the 1860's for southern democrats who fought Republican President Lincoln as he tried to emancipate the slaves. Yes, it was Republicans who freed the slaves, but if you asked the average voter today, they would probably say it was democrats. Little has changed since the 1860's. They still come up with the most outrageous candidates they can find and spend tons of money to "make" their candidate the people's choice. Sort of like American Idol.
Let's finish the race superdelegates!
The fat lady in the pantssuit is finished singing...
someone please turn out the lights !
It isn't surprising that when the person you are pledged for drops out and later endorses someone that all of the delegates follow. I just wish Edwards would have announced a little sooner.
That's nice. Terrific.
Now, if would Sen. Obama or Sen. Edwards would PLEASE go to Kentucky! There's no need to disrespect an entire state. Besides, the history of this campaign is, the more people see/hear Sen. Obama, the more they get to know him (and not the vile falsehoods) the more likely they are to vote for him!
Well, here we go again with more disappointment of delegates endorsing Obama. We know while Obama has not scheduled plans on certain days, that he is wooing delegates over to his side. Above article says it all. I can honestly say that there will be another Bush administration because if Obama becomes the nominee, he will NOT win the general election and we might as well be handing the presidency on a silver platter to McCain. MAJOR MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT PEOPLE. I will continue to donate and support Hillary Clinton all the way to the convention. I am sure that convention will be real interesting. HILLARY CLINTON SHOULD BE OUR NOMINEE AND NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S ALMOST OVER!
THANK YOU AND WELCOME TO "CHANGE" TRAIN!
ALL ARE WELCOMED IN OBAMA'S HOUSE!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Can I say "Yes We Can"??? Thank you Senator Edwards and to your crew. The news gets better everyday...keep them coming.
Biden is the man. It's since to have someone call out Bush's BS.
I have TOTALLY lost all respect for John Edwards! He purposely
picked the moment he did to destroy Hillary, and her BIG, BIG win in
WV. Not very gentlemanly.... not the kind of person I want to see in Washington.
Did he do it to HELP Obama? Of course not. My guess is that 99% of the benefit is for himself, possibly to get on the VP list.
It was a perfect demonstration of his own poor judgment, poor character, and selfishly thinking only of himself. I almost voted for him, but thankfully did not.
Go Obama! Edwards made the right choice
I dont think Edward's endorsement really matter. First, he barely survived in his campaign to be the Democrat's nominee. Second, there were far more influential politicians that endorsed Obama during their state's primaries but still Clinton got the most votes ( e.g. Kerry and Kennedy ) . SO really, these endorsements dont really matter, the voters made up their mind long time ago.
You're going the wrong way!
Bye bye White House!
thank you for your patriotism people.
now, BRING OUR TROOPS HOME. I spoke to some Nat'l Guardmans yesterday. They wanted to know when the end will be. They are physically and mentally tired and homesick. They are just teenagers 19, 20)
They sleep on little narrow cots and have very basic facilities. They need some much needed relaxation, so they can feel normal. I told them us Democrats (Obama and Clinton supporters) were working as hard as we can to bring them home. Pray for our service men and women, please.
YES!!!!
It is time for America to get to work. Get Obama in there because we have a lot of economic repair work that needs to be done to strengthen this nation.
Now, how long will it take for CNN to begrudgingly update the delegate counter?
This is a step in the right direction, we need unity to stand firm to confront John McCain and President Bush comment in Knesset, Israel!
DOUBT IS OUT, GOD CAN IS IN.
OBAMA 08
Poem
The road is getting clearer
All the clouds are gone
I can see the White House
that soon will be my home.
Democrats, lets unite. lets go ahead and support Obama, and get the republicans out of the White House and make this country safer and stronger.
Good. Now lets finish this and call it a day.
now the whole dem party should come together
Swweeeettt!! It's looking like May 20 will be a great day in O-Land. Dems, now is the time to pull together and keep McSame out of the White House.
The delegate lead is now higher than it was before the "big win" in W. Va. This would seem yet another reason to stop her campaign – don't throw good money after bad and cause more debt for the DNC to relieve.
I think if the superdels are smart, enough will go to Obama PRIOR to June so that the last few states' votes will push him over the mark. Let's have the focus of the news on June 3 be on the people's vote giving him 2025. Otherwise the focus will be on whichever delegate can position him/herself to be "the one."
I wonder if there will be an Obama / Edwards ticket. The alternative way to gain back some of that segment that votes for Hillary without having her on the ticket.
I am just waiting to see and hear, Wolf Blitzer, Pat Buchannan, Chris Mattews, Gen Beck, Gloria Borger, above all Lou Dobbs, What in the world are they going to say when Obama is nominated the candidate for the Presidency of DNC. All white bias supremasists that believe the US is theirs alone. My repects to Jack Cafferty, John King, and also Keith Olberman from MSNBC, for their objectines and good journalship in reporting the upcoming news as they are, not twisting or missinterpreting what has been said, specially from the Obama side. They are Hillary protectors and bone collector, looking in the cemataries with the hope of finding a skeleton that they can pin on Obama, keep looking maybe you find Aladdins Lamp, and your wishes might be granted. Just be careful of what are you wishing for.
Thank you Senator Edwards for endorsing Barack Obama. Your speech last night was one that will further the Democratic agenda for unity across the country.
Thank you also to the delegates of Senator Edwards who have already chosen to endorse our candidate of change and unity. Your support will go a long way to unite the party and bring us together to wage a powerful coalition against John McCain, for a huge win in November.
We hope that the remaining delegates will follow your lead.
Today, millions of Americans are grateful for your endorsements of Barack Obama. Thank you.
I believe that what happened in this move was done because Obama is playing politics as usual! The timing stinks to high heaven. For the delegates that moved with Edwards are just as dumb!
Obama is being a politician like any other politician! Obama is doing everything and saying anything to please the voters. The sad thing about it, is that there are so many "Blind" people believing in it. This probably will end up causing America to be in a worse mess than what Bush got us into.
If Obama is the candidate, I will never vote for him (and I am a democrat), I will end up voting for McCain instead. Obama lacks ALL of the skills, talent, knowledge and experience to be a president than can take us out of this mess that Bush got us into!
WE NEED HILLARY CLINTON TO BECOME THE NOMINEE, SO THAT SHE CAN BEAT MCCAIN IN NOVEMBER! OBAMA CAN'T DO IT!
On April 22 Hillary Clinton said: "Today, here in Pennsylvania, you made your voices heard, and because of you, the tide is turning,"
Clinton was right, the tide is turning, but it is turning against her. In fact it is more like a tsunami. Since April 22 Obama increased his lead in superdelegates by about 37.
The south is behind Obama and that is great. I hope many more will come around soon so we can get this country back.
One black, one white = 100% Old Boys Club. What CHANGE ?!
Adding a hypocrite to the mix only transforms simple wimp to a hypocritical wimp.
Is it just me or all these SD that Obama is getting is very beneficial but 600,000 steelworker group supports Obama also. I guess that means all 600,000 will vote for Obama in a General Election. I dont know soeone clarify this for me an if this is so I think John Edwards will defiantly be the Obamas running mate.
I bet Hillary supporters will try to downplay this. They are delegates and they are what matters. Sad to see sore losers.
Mr. Edwards is now repaying Senator Clinton for the lack of support from her husband when he ran as vice-president. It is not his love for Obama but his hatred for the Clintons."Be careful what you wish for"
Attention Hillbilly – this would be what they normally refer to as the beginning of the end!
Time to admit defeat, get out of the race and help to repair some of the damage you have done by staying in it even though you knew that the race was over. No more fuzzy math about how you are ahead in the popular vote or any of that stuff. Just "suck it up" and get out while you still have a little dignity left.
Another 6 jump over the cliff...
Good news for Obama.
What is good news, is it will help him get over the top sooner.
In the end he will still have more pledged delegates he PERSONALLY won than Clinton. This will just help him go over the top and secure the nomination sooner, which is important.
Clinton herself said that pledged delegates can switch allegiance and vote for whomever they want, and that it was fair game.
Clinton said that... Don't blame Obama for doing something Clinton said was fair.
more and more for obama WAKE UP EVERYBODY NOMORE SLEEPING!! OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES YES YES
YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!
And the good times just keep on rolling...
CNN – Obama has gotten 3-Superdelegates so far this morning!!!
Here they come! Hillary, lets become a united party to stop John McSame
OBOMA in 08, wht more needs to be said. This is another great testament to the mans leadership.
Go Obama. We still love you Hillary and wish you the best. At the end of the day we are ALL democrats!
Mindless wimps!! Supporting a candidate they don't even know!!!!
keep pushing forward we are getting closer and closer to the finish line no matter how many times hrc tries to move them ...
OBAMA 08 YES WE CAN !!!!!!
I'm happy that most Democrats are finally choosing to unite behind one candidate. The split of the Democrat party needs to come to an end, unfortunately Clinton doesn't see it that way.
I especially enojoy how she thrives off her big win in WV, even though it really didn't make a difference.
Once and for all the Democrats need to unite, and they should do so behind Barack Obama.
It is pretty clear right now that the party does not trust Clinton anymore. They are sure she will do everything she can to bring the fight at the convention, so they are moving at a steady pace to get her out of the race and make her irrelevant. Such a bitter end for someone who, despites all her flaws, has shown character and tenacity.
Ok..its confirmed. Obama is our standard bearer..Lets focus on McCain.
I can already see that McCain is trying to abondon GOP strategy..he announced a date to withdraw from Iraq...boy does that sound Democratic.
He will gradually adopt Obama's positions which means Obama needs to get out there..have a HUGE policy speech announcing his positions FIRST. I know he has done this already but he needs to do it again..and again and again..repetition is key to effective communication.
This is for CNN, major news network and right wing bias, prejudice talk show hosts: Obama, the best educated and decent presidential candidate has won:
Most Votes
Most States
Most Delegates
and he has the most money!
He is best for the future of America!
Vote Obama for President of USA
Thanks guys!!!!!
wonderful
welcome all
After John Edwards wonderful speech, an American we can all proud off, I had to listen to a radio interview where a vitriolic Hillary supporter said that if she wins the popular vote, the Unpledged delegates (I refuse to use the term Superdelegates anymore) have to endorse her.
How can anyone believe the unpledged delegates would break the rules. Give up the black vote, new voters, independents, and college educated white voters to run with older and blue collar white voters. The fact that Hillary supporters say they would rather vote for McCain seems like an interesting way to damage this country. We can not afford four more years.
I am beginning to think that Hillary is a lot smarter than her supporters. She is trying hard not to be negative, although her supporters remain abrasive and insulting. I think she is getting ready to broker a VP slot, which is the worst thing she could do. Hillary should become the Senate Majority Leader. She would be the best one this country ever had. It suits her talents and drive. It is also more important and visible than the VP position. .
Thank you, John Edwards for supporting our next President, Barak Obama; the world is already a better place because of it.
Hillary supporters, it's time to unite the Democratic Party now. Even Hillary stated that she would back the Democratic nominee and she is the one running against Obama...not you. This is a historic momemt in America and we should ALL be proud! We (Americans) have done what no other country has done: Participate in a democratic process with two historic candidates – one female and one African American, neither of whom had the opportunity to preselect their race or gender.
It is time to recognize that we are ONE RACE, sharing ONE PLANET, and we need the strongest leadership possible to unite the ONE WORLD in which we all must coexist in: That vision and that leadership has been tested and now shines brighter than ever in Barak Obama. With his stunning vision and leadership, he has united this country in a way not seen since JFK and MLK. The majority of America has spoken and they want CHANGE: Barak Obama is the catalyst for that change! Admittedly however, I never thought it would happen in my lifetime, but watching Barak travel from state to state being cheered for by Latinos, Whites, Blacks, Asians, and the Indigenous Peoples has indeed restored my faith in America and the beauty of Democracy.
As I write this posting, I am overwhelmed with a sense of pride I have never had before because the world is watching and can truly say "Well done, America...this time you got it right". And after 8 years of "Win at all cost" (including the 4K lives of American and allied troops), America is turning a new corner – one that will transcend geographic borders, language and skin color differences, poverty, war, and ignorance. Barak Obama has given America an early birthday gift and it came in a small box called HOPE. Happy Birthday America!
My name is Hoepful Californian and I approved this message. Barak Obama 2008/2012!
Edwards's too early decision.
He should make up his mind and back Clinton.
I think he want to become VP halllo???????
Hillary Clinton '08
Its all over now.
Kennedy,Pelosi,Kerry- Heinz-57, Caroline, Dean, Richardson, Edwards, Mcgovern, Dukakis, Hulk Hogan, Oprah, Carter, Jack Cafferty, Brazille, Ron Regean jr, MSM, Debbie Dingle.....All of these "politicians as usual" and stars! And still-our "agent of change" cannot put away ONE lady in a pantsuit?? Even with all of these people offering to shine his shoes for 8 years? Who will he call on next to try and upstage Hillary Clinton? Hamas? Chaves? Osama? Maybe North Korea? Better question–which one of these people will he choose as a running mate and what sweet words are they using to beg him to choose them? Oh, how the mighty have fallen–losers, all.
Come on now all of you Obama bashers...you are a bit slow this morning. Where are all of your baseless, factless bashing? Usually, you are first on the scene to bash Obama without an once of facts while glorifying Senator Clinton and totally ignoring all of her misdeeds...not only during this campaign but also while the Clintons were in the Whitehouse.
I was a Hillary supporter early on, but started supporting Obama when I realized that he is about changing the politics of this country.
I always wondered how people could allow themselves to be hoodwinked every 2-4 years with promises from politicians that were never fulfilled, along with the way they tried to play on racial divisions and fear to to get votes...the same game that Hillary has been playing throughout.
If Obama is so bad, why is it that he is getting so much support? Have you ever thought that within the political community, Hillary and Bill has burned their bridges...caused so much dislike by their antics?
If Obama is so weak in the "blue collar" group and the white voters, how do you explain his overwhelming victors in the states that have a very high percentage of white voters, WV not withstanding? I won't quote them here, but go back and check the record.
The majority of whites who said they would not vote for Obama obviously has an agenda outside of any legitimate issue involving politics.
The media tries to sugar coat it and not address it, but it is obvious.
Their will be no overtime in this game.
What a crock!!! All you Obamabots out there who are jumping for joy have very short memories. I recall as recently as last Monday how you were all calling him a wimp for not ensorsing and now he is your saviour.
Don't tell me there's no gender bias here. How does he have the b...s to say only that Obama is the best man for the job.
Too bad all you morons don't get a ife.
Edwards betrayed his friend by taking the momentum away from her, as well as the process, and himself by taking away his integrity, no matter who the nominee is. With friends like that, who needs enemies? Your thirty pieces of silver are in the mail.
Clinton's suporter think smarter than Obama's.
That's a very nice move.
The party is already starting to unite. If Hillary comes now, it will even be better. The sooner the better
It's time for reconciliation! Time to unite the party.
Obama/Edwards 08!!!!
Clinton should run as an Independent because Obama wil lose the GE. I know there's HOPE for Obama to connect with those blue collar workers but truth is many Americans are stil racist. All we're going to talk about for the next 4yrs is how racism was the reason the Democrats lost the GE(genaral election)... Edwards cant do MUCH to help. Edwards is not running for pres, Obama is.
DEAR ME! Tut Tut!! It looks like rain. Senator Obama and his campaign are gleeful that John Edwards has endorsed BARACK! The problem is, it appears to hurt Edwards more than it helps Obama. I, for one, a former Edwards supporter (previous campaigns) will not vote for Obama and I have lost respect for John Edwards. He should of supported Senator Clinton who has the better health care plan or just kept quiet until after the Primary. Couldn't wait 3 more weeks. All my friends are furious, but then, most of my friends are women....what do we know. My smart husband agrees with me.Come on Elizabeth ...show John up...what is he afraid of???????????????
Hillary is the smartest choise ever.
Go Hillary !!!
Great,
Let's get this over and move on! All remaining super deligates should just go for Obama now and get Clinton out of the race so we can get going for the general election. Any remaining super del that go for Clinton at this point are pretty stupid for doing so. She has no where to go.....let's move on super's
I dispise John edwards, his wife and all of his delegates. Dont be surprised if you see this loser in a cabinet post if Obama wins this election. I cant wait to vote Republican in the fall (for the first time in my life.) Obama is a disgusting human being and so are all of his supporters.
I just learned that Michelle Obama is here in Puerto Rico. I watch the laughter of the CNN and MSNBC TV reporters every time they mention that candidates hopefully will need the ballots casted by us, though we are not allowed to vote for the President of the US been citizens and all, yet we can fight in the wars and die alongside the others natural born US citizen for the cause the US is fighting for and in the end deny, deny us the right as citizens to vote for the President. Do you want a better sample of Bigotry and supremacy? It is my HOPE, that with Obama, in the Presidency, his platform for change and hope, our plight does not fall overboard, and rescue never intended. Mind you I am all for Obama and I believe his words of change. I HOPE he comes thru.
It seems reasonable that John Edwards North Carolina delegates would do what Edwards says. With a wife who has cancer, John Edwards endorsement of a candidate whose health policies exclude 17 000 000 people and which copy the Republican platform is a testimony to the corruptness and untruthfulness of THE MAN. (We learned years ago about "person" and the ill advised use of THE like THE Blacks). Only two days ago Edwards said endorsements raised more hostilities than united fronts. Today, I too, joined those women who will vote for McCain. Some of us will carry signs in Denver that name the DNC, John Edwards, Bill Richards, as "betrayers". Don't blame Hillary; it wasn't her fault!!!!
BYE, BYE HIllary, OBAMA 08'
What a blessing. I have so much respect for Sen. Edwards and his wife Elizabeth. What would really help Sen. Obama at this point in the campaign would be to have Sen. Edwards appear on the stump with Sen. Obama in the state of Kentucky. Its interesting how one minute the news media has Sen. Obama leading in double digits in Kentucky one moment and then their saying the HRC is leading in double digits. Thanks once again to you Sen. Edwards for doing what you believe is the right thing to do.
LOSERS follow the LOSER
This is no longer a drip, it's a flow...thanks everyone
This is excellent news for the Obama Camp. Thanks you Edwards delegates you made the right choice. "YES WE CAN"
"Obama 08 enough said"
Thank you John. Hopefully Hillary will go ahead and call it a day. I don't understand why she is staying in when the odds are so against her. She has turned so many against her of late. I mean I just don't see the point. I hope she keeps her word and backs the nominee as she said she would.
For those of you that say you won't vote for Obama if Hillary is not the nominee, but will go for Mccain, you must really like what Bush has done to our country for the past 8 years. Imagine, it would be the same as giving a wink and a nod to keep our troops in harms way if you do that.
I am a hard working, white middle-aged woman for Obama !. I hope other hard working African American, Mexican, & Asian will join in to get him into the white house.
Great!! I expect most of his delegates will go to Obama. This thing might actually get wrapped up before June 3rd.
Obama 2008 & 2012!
This is the water we needed to throw on the wicked witch of D.C.....shes all but done now........
OBAMA '08
Edwards is for the blue collars yet supports the elitist candidate?
Thats okay, who needs a sleezy slimeball trial lawyer?
Common guys let the vote pour in. Obama the next president of USA after which he comes to Nigeria to teach our politicians how to be a leader
Nicholas
This keep getting better and better. Way to go guys/girls.
My earlier comment disappeared into blogland.
So I will say it again,
This shows the Hillary supporters how important his endorsement really is. They spent lots of time on the previous blogs calling him names and saying who cares. I bet they care now.
Regardless of what happens with the Edwards' delegates, what is most important is for the Clinton and Obama supporters to come together in a harmonious manner. The rift in the Democrat party has grown deep and if national elections were held today, the Democrats would be in trouble.
Obama supporters: show respect for Hillary and her supporters if you want Obama to win in November.
Clinton supporters: do you really want four more years of Bush-McCain?
I see that a wave of support is finally breaking for Senator Obama and the Democrats are starting to come together, which is a nice thing to see. It looks like this exciting fight between Clinton and Obama is coming to an end soon.
Yes we Can!!! 1 AMERICA , OUR AMERICA, THE GREAT USA!!!
Latinos for Obama, Puerto Rico for Obama '08, AMERICANS 4 OBAMA
Will the real John Edwards please stand up.
NO 1 Edwards endorsing Obama, or
No 2 Edwards who just declared "Let the voters decide"
This primary begins to look more and more like a hostile take over. So much for democracy.
Come on Superdegates, end this May 21, otherwise Clinton will appeal any decision made to seat MI &FL on the 31st and take it to the convention! She is aready set to do it. She will not settle for anything but the votes as they (unfairly) stand in these states-no compremise. Go to the convention and McCain wins. Give Obama what he needs to met 2026 before may 31 and seat the states after that. Clinton won't win and we need to get on with it!
Thank you John Edwards! I do believe that Hillary Clinton wants to break this party apart. She wants to say " I told you so ", she doesn't care about this country only herself. It's sad to see someone like her get so far with the American people. Hillary is George Bush the third.They don't care what the public wants they are going to do it their way. I hope that Barack Obama doesn't let Hillary on his ticket. He will win if she goes away.
As a supporter of Senator Clinton, personally, I do not care if Senator Edwards' delegates support Senator Obama. If Senator Obama receives the nomination of the Democratic Party, he will certainly lose in the General Election. Senator Obama's Presidental bid with be like Senator McGovern and Senator Kerry.
You know, it's really funny.
Dems (liberal dems) are really, really.....really...what is the word? Stupid? Nonsensical? Idiotic? Self-Destructive?
If these people, inluding Edwards, truly thought that Obama was the best nominee, WHY did they wait until he kept losing state after state? If they truly think he is best TODAY and YESTERDAY.....why not come out LAST MONTH? TWO MONTHS AGO? THREE MONTHS AGO?????????
Can someone explain?
BTW, all the BO supporters that are now trying to kiss and make up, too late. You've clearly shown your arrogance and hatred towards Hillary. If you back-track now, you are just pandering. Just don't bother. Go celebrate. Good luck in the fall
I think I could have actually supported BO in the fall if it hadn't been for the absolute vile comments by media, bloggers, pundits, BO campaigners and staff, that have been made over the last year.
if these are the types of people he attracts, I want nothing to do with him.
Many times I read through a list of folks' comments and I REALLY want to respond but the thread is closed. So I will add here and ask for this to be posted as related to the topic of the inevitability of Obama's nomination.
So many sore losers posting on this board. If you wanted Clinton, what do you gain out of voting for McCain out of spite? Do you truly hate Obama that badly or are you just pi**ed that your girl lost?
What do you gain out of writing her in? A vote lost for the Democratic platform.
There are so many "conspirasts." "except for media bias and the feds hand-picking Obama, she would have whupped him." Huh?
"the superdelegates know Hillary is the best, but they're afraid to vote for her due to black backlash." What criteria would give a superdelegate the impression she is the best? She is losing (excuse me, has LOST), as Goldie posted on another thread, the list of states Obama won by huge margins is far in excess of Hillary's perfect demographics of W. Va. More states, more votes, more delegates, more everything and yet you are still deluded that despite all that, she is the best. What criteria should we all use to pick a candidate in order to ignore the voters?
"She's more electable." How can you be more electable than someone who is BEATING you in an election?
I still wonder if she's crazy enough to stick it out until the convention and try to stir things up there to switch votes.
You know, it's really funny.
Dems (liberal dems) are really, really.....really...what is the word? Stupid? Nonsensical? Idiotic? Self-Destructive?

The question should be how many democrats are going to vote republican if Obama gets the nomination . Answer alot I myself and many millions of others will not vote for a Liberal.
I believe strongly that Barrack Obama will unify America and the world as a whole so let give the chance.John Mcain will rather continue the bad work of mr Bush.
Welcome on board, the train is moving faster than B/Hills can ever imagine. What happen to the esbalishment? and the 109m speech moneies?
Go my SC delegate neighbors!!!!
Bush did not start the war...tell Biden that we want to fight our enemy on their turf and not ours...tell Biden that we do not want to negotiate with our enemies....
Awesome! Bring ‘em on!
Let’s put this to rest and get on to the General Election.
Adios Billary!
Yep, it is now a stead stream of SD moving to Senator Obama. It is hail to the new Chief. Hillary needs to concede and help the Party get on with the healing process so we can take on McCsame.
The fat lady is going home.
Welcome aboard. Almost there.
more judas these days. know your friends not only in good days.. now we know all these betrayers
Edwards is a perennial loser like John Kerry. Obama will join them come November. He has no chance to win on the electoral map. Hillary's campaign is right. She could win it... can't wait until November to see all the Obama supporters crushed when they lose the easiest election for Democrats to win ever.
Let's show these delegates some southern hospitality. Hillary, sweetie! Can you bring us some sweet tea? Thanks, honey!
America just loves weaklings.
This is great as we can all start to move forward to unite and deal with all the problems this country and its people face domestically and internationally. I am a firm believer in speaking to all, regardless of their position in the world which Obama supports. I forgot who said this, but it has always stuck with me. "Keep Your Friends Close And Your Enemies Closer".
I AM ASHAMED TO SAY THAT I VOTED FOR BUSH!
I am sadden by John Edward. He claims to be for the working people but if he was he would be supporting Hillary Clinton. Obama can talk a good talk but you come away without knowing how he is going to do anything. I will not be voting in the general election this year. I will not vote for Obama and McCain is out of touch.
And this is going to put him over the edge of the nomination?
What are you waiting for in this case? Treat both candidates fairly and give credit ( especially where the information has been reported by you as fact) where it is due. Silence does not give your readers the real picture– the picture you yourselves describe. Then you will have the best political team on television, and online.
and Edwards won 14% of the vote in Florida – which would pretty much tie the Florida "election" ... so no matter how you slice it and dice it – the math works less and less for Hillary, even if you follow Hillary's flawed accounting.
The Edwards effect....
I will donate towards Hillary's debt, if she'll just get out of the race and throw her support behind Obama...
I just hope that once she does, she does not turn around and call herself a Judas and reject and denounce herself...
Well i guess he will soon reach the 2026 delegates needed to win the nomination. Why can't the clinton camp understand that.
my dream ticket WAS edwards/obama!
now it's obama/richardson and attorney general edwards!!! america would ROCK!!!
Here we go guys!
well alright !!!!!!!!!!!
this is getting so exciting!i'm glad we're moving past hillary's divisiveness.now we can focus on mccain's divisiveness.go obama'08
I guess Edwards wanted "Change" Yeah!!! Extra "Change" to pay off his Campaign DEBT. what a joke, this is not a real endorsement its a set up,"politics as ussual". I notice Mrs. Edwards did'nt even bother to show. What a joke! who are they trying to kid!
NO matter what Hillary we are still behind you 100%
I hope Hillary can plan her graceful exit and begin to think about the party rather than just her candiancy.
Congrats to McCain. He's taking an easy walk in to the WH because the DNC with their stupid caucus system, Howard Dean, and the media trashed Hillary nonstop.
Hillary people will now vote for McCain if she doesn't go Independent.
Barack Obama, our next POTUS!
YES WE CAN!
So Hiliary is still in this race to prove what point????
Hillary, you need to join me and a whole lot of your other supporters and change party's. The democrats have gone into a liberal cult frenzy. You don't really belong with them any more.
...................very,,,,very,,, NICE... bring it..
................We Love YOU and America LOVES you ..
...................Thank you very much...................
...........................Yes...We..Can...
Well that says it all, obama is the next president of this great union, the USA. As for Mc Same what can i say but take a chill pill!
Obama + 4 superdelegates so far today including congressman Henry Waxman of CA and what has this so called big victory in WV brought Hillay ? 1 superdelegate since Tueday.
I am glad that Mr. Edwards is supporting Mr. Obama. If it would go one step further and create an Obama/Edwards ticket I would greatly support that. I would NOT support an Obama/Clinton ticket becasue I think the Clinton "Machine" would ruin the possibilities that Mr. Obama could bring to the national government.
Funny how the MSM ignores Obama's big victories
The media is talking about Clinton’s big win in one state (plus Arkansas), just to stir the controversy. They fail to mention that the reason Obama is winning is because he won big in very many states, 15. I found this chart that sums it up:
Barack Obama: 15 States + DC
* Virgin Islands (89.9%)
* Idaho (79%)
* Hawaii (76%)
* Alaska (75%)
* District of Columbia (75%)
* Kansas (74%)
* Washington (68%)
* Nebraska (68%)
* Minnesota (67%)
* Colorado (67%)
* Georgia (67%)
* Illinois (65%)
* Virginia (64%)
* Maryland (62%)
* North Dakota (61%)
* Wyoming (61%)
* Mississippi (61%)
Hillary Clinton: 2 States
* Arkansas (70%)
* West Virginia (67)
They were pledged; HOW TACKY
If Obama wins–it will be the sleezy way
Take that, "Sweetie"
It is just a matter of time>>>19 days!
Obama '08
Today we need to stand as Americans, and move to Change.
Move to a New Form of Politics
I think Obama has a running mate and it is not Hillary CLinton.....
They should convince the remaining 13 to make their endorsement as soon as possible and get this presidential campaign started. Its time for the democrats to come together and unite under Barrack Obama.
Thank you, again, Mr Edwards for your Obama endorsement , you are a good man and a politician who cares about the American people and their future.
This seals the deal for me. John Edwards is AWESOME.
Edwards' endorsement is nothing. You know, four years ago he did the same thing (candidate) to that candidate and then that man lost the game in 2004. He did this again and just hopes Democratic Party to lose in the fall by refusing strong candidate.
Does anyone think it's odd that Edwards was still on the ballot in WV? How long has he been out of the race? I know it doesn't matter because Obama is still winning, but it could have closed the gap in % points.
Also, what goof ball would actually select Edwards on the ballot, knowing that he's not running. Sounds fishy to me.
Keep your eyes on the ball Obama !
Keep Going !
Thank you John Edwards for endorsing Obama. I hope you are either the VP on the ticket or a cabinet member in the Obama Administration.
I voted for you way back when they had the Tennessee primary and currently support Obama all the way! Is Elizabeth going to endorse Obama as well? I certainly hope so. Great going you guys.
The sooner the superdelegates line-up for Senator Obama, the sooner Senator Obama and the Democratic Party can line-up against Senator Cain, President Bush, and the Republican Party.
This is a defining moment in our country's history!
Imagine Barack Obama as President and John Edwards as Vice-President. Those two signify change.
It looks like Senator Obama has found his running mate.
OBAMA/Edwards 2008
THANK YOU EDWARDS DELEGATES!!!! THANK YOU, THANKYOU!!!
FOREVER GRATEFUL!!!!
OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!! '08
I think that John Edwards is despicable. To endorse Obama around the time of the evening news which kept Hillary's big win in West Virginia off the front pages. Talk about playing politics. Just another politician looking out for himself.
Joan
Oh Hillary what is the case you said you were going to make again?
There is no more case to make, no more dynastie, no terms to negotiate.
America has had enough.
Time for somebody else for VP to bring about change in America.
3 x's loser backs OBO! get over it CNN! This man will not win in NOVEMBER and you know it!!!!!! HILLARY'08!!!!
History in the making. Hope is a powerful thing. Contageous, too!
I love Edwards' consistency. He endorsed Obama because he feared that Clinton's huge victory was hurting Obama. He's always been a strong supporter of affirmative action.
Edwards sucks just like Obama and so do any of his followers, there goes a chance for a Democrat in the White House, maybe 2012. I will never vote for Obama and Edwards will have his day sooner than later.
One step closer to securing the nomination and than we can say goodbye Clinton...
And the drip is getting heavier....
Michigan had 600,000 voteres in their democratic primary and Hillary wants to claim that it was valid. If it was a valid election there would have been over 2 million voters who voted. So only 30% of Michigan voters came out to vote and the Clinton campaign and her supporters say it was valid and should count. Then what do you tell the rest of the voters who didn't vote because they knew it wouldn't matter? You want to count 600,000 votes and disregard over 1.4 million votes. Now who are the Clintons disenfranchising? Come on CNN, report that.
That's why the endorsement matters. It's about the delegates, stupid!
I have got to say that the more I read the comments from Obama supporters, I am absolutely stunned at the nastiness shown to Hillary Clinton. There is no excuse for such incivility. It is unseemly and it just furthers Hillary's supporters resolve to not vote for Obama in the general election. Come on people, please try to be nicer...........it truly reflects poorly on Obama.
Isn't it amazing how NO ONE on this face of the earth, can tell what will happen in the next second, minute, hour of the day, but we can predict, can't we? I wonder what tomorrow will bring? In times like these, I will continue to cling to my "FAITH", because it is the SUBSTANCE of things hope for, and the EVIDENCE of things NOT SEEN.
There is a time for love, a time for hate, a time for war and a time for peace! When is that "time"? Only "time" will tell.
God Bless us All!
I believe that alot of Obama haters are finally seeing the handwriting on the wall, Hillary days are numbered. I would hate to be the one sitting at home mad,seeing everyone coming out for Obama. You should have jumped ship a long time ago.
GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Edwards Delegates! Yes WE Can!
Obama '08, '12
Hows that for a game changer!
We really should be, however, focusing on McCain more than anything else right now. Keep Bush-Lite out of office!
Dems '08
I'm just wondering if these "so-called" liberals are really "sexist" at heart...they'll do anything to prevent a woman, who basically has the same political view, from being elected as president.
Good! It looks like the party is beginning to embrace Obama as the nominee.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, John Edwards. Goal is to be 100 or less superdelegates needed by Tuesday!
WRITE HILLARY'S NAME ON THE BALLOT
this is excellant. Way to go Mr. Edwards.
May God deliver us from the extreme left
God bless America
Hillary 08
*plays taps for the Clinton Campaign*
I hope the voter's have more sense than John Edwards, or the delegates. He went with Obama for a chance to advance his political career. He waited until he could choose the one that could help him with his chances at the vp and that is a pretty dirty thing too do to his voter's.
Well How much mre do Billary Clinto and her supporters need to know or to happne for her to see..........IT's OVER
OBAMA 2008
Time to unite fellow Democrats. We need a resounding victory in November. The last two elections have gone into overtime. Let's make sure our voices are heard loud and clear this time. I am proud of Hillary Clinton and I admire her strength and courage. She makes me proud to be a woman and I hope she'll rally her troops behind Obama, sooner rather than later.
I'm sorry how much more do Billary Clinton and her supportes need to know before it's clear to them that it's over
Go Obama 2008
What a loser Edwards has turned out to be, sold his credibility for some DNC promise for his political future. Maybe they promised him ,next time around they wil totally leave the voters out of the process, and just appoint him as our candidate. It's so messy when they have to manuever around the will of the voters, so many more deals to be made, more spin to create, yada, yada, yada.Delegates and super delegates will be unimportant when we Hillary supporters vote McCain. Maybe he will be kind enough to send you a fruit basket for all the help you have given his campaign.
Scroll to the top of the page and have a look at that picture again ....
That's one good looking and very bright ticket right there. I think Bush has proven to America that when it comes to running a nation a C+ average MAY not be good enough.
Let's be honest, would you want a C+ surgeon operating on your love one? Well running a nation affects MILLIONS of lives ... health care, gas prices, foreign policy, etc.
I think we are now seeing what is called a new "microtrend" in our culture - endorsing Obama. When we see how his fundraising strategy has worked so successfully, it is easy to see why this is happening. Endorsing Obama, while still controversial, makes
for good business sense. His campaign is pratically a financial institution unto itself.
What's that well-worked phrase, "It's the economy, stupid!"?. It's the economics of the situation, sillies.
JOHN EDWARDS EDORSEMENT MEANS NOTHING ,, HE WAS GOING TO LOOSE HIS SENATE SEAT , HE WAS A LOOSER WITH AL GORE AND WAS A LOOSER THIS YEAR.GOT BACK AND GET YOUR HAIR CUT AND RELAX IN YOUR MANSION .....
GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't they make a cute couple"
To all you HRC supporters:
I think this is what is known as "closing the deal".
John Ewards as V.P. not bad not bad at all . Hillary Clinton as V.P. Hell to the NO !!!!!!!! (yes Obama Can)!!!!!!!!
Edwards is a smart man! I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine.
Edwards must have worked out a deal for a position in Obama's cabinet.
Hillary 08
Edwards and BHO..that is a scary duo.
Please no more Hillary Bashing!
Let's take the Republicans DOWN.
We need to stick to Bush's comments and hold McCain accountable for agreeing with them.
Democrats Unite... Take BUsh Down
Vote Obama as President
Put Hillary in a Cabinet Position
And take down the Republicans.
TAKE DOWN THE PARTY OF FEAR...THE GOP and it's unsavory leaders!
Obama-Edwards grand show of deceit...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one word for Edwards.....COWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now wait...two words....Spineless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It too late Mr. Edwards.......you look so chicken why you didn't gave to him
earlier, if you gave him earlier he should be our President in 2004 and could be the VP now. Too late is too late Mr. flip flopper.
Poor old John Edwards the HEAD OF THE DEMS finally made him come out to support Obama. What you would sell your soul for.
Hillary Clinton as a INDEPENDENT this fall election.
Life long DEMOCRAT that will vote INDEPENDENT or REPUBLICAN
Wonderful!
Stand Strong
For Change
OR
Fall Hard
For The Same!!
Quick, quick, quick. do it let it be over with. We want to start concentrating on the general election.
Hillary has made history. Now we know that a woman can be president in this country. But it is time for unity. No more political bickering with one another. Let us move on.
Wow-not on your front page cnn.
But you plaster Bush's lies and smears all over your page.
I guess you are now fans of McCain.
Edwards endorsements are pushing Obama over the top and you hide the news.
Typical cnn.
Stick a fork in her becuase she is DONE!!
And i think the lady in the pants suit is singing loud and clear.
Obama '08!!!!!!!!
Edwards and Obama had this all planned to take away the attention of Hillary's win in WV.
Is this the new kind of politics?
Thank goodness people can finally come together on this. Edwards will only help here. Hillary has been courting this for herself for months. Let's move as one, get the republicans out of the White House.
...the force is strong in him...
I think this is a good thing change go Obama
Of course Edwards cronies are going to support Obama. Their hope is that edwards becomes VP and that some domestic terrorist rids us of Obama, therefore putting Edwards into the catbird seat. The white mens political power just amazes me.
On to the General Election.
Great, the groundswell is on
CNN, please tell Hillary and Bill Clinton to come on board to correct Barrack delegates because it is all over. It is only George Bush who knows it well as he spoke in Jerusalem today. Bush who negotiated with Libya and North Korea knows that Barack has won; therefore, he spoke about Barack policy in Jerusalem while he is the mess for this nation. He forgot that Libya did the worse things to the country he spoke in today. President Bush to back to the bush. Barack is the new leader with vision.
I am for Obama, but respect Hillary supporters.Its high time to call it quits to all the intra-party fight and fight againt the re"pube" lican party.
We dont want a sooper old man to preside this country, god knows if he will even make it till the end of the term, if elected !
Also i dont think "Roger" is a democrat.He is a repubelican who wants to split us.Its about time we identified the wolves is sheeps skin and isolate them.
Democrat(Obama) 08
CNN, why is it that 7 of 13 blogs are about clinton? the other 6 are split between obama and mccain, the two potential nominees. The Clinton News Network shines on!
Obama '08
Democrats UNITE !!

the bits and pieces are falling into their rightfull place. The curtain fell at North Carolina and the campaign light of HRC went off at Indiana
Congratulations all trues democrats and the republicans impersonating as democrats
All aboard the Obama express train is leaving for the White House:)
I'm so excited! Senator Obama is on his way to helping us to change this country so that all of us have access to the American Dream! We are the change that we've been waiting for. I can't wait to get to work turning this great country around for the better.
Senator Obama and Senator Edwards, thank you for caring about this country more than yourselves.
Da flood gates are now open. Hell-ary, watcha gonna do when da Super Delegates run ya over! Da fat lady is singing. Can you hear her?
Si Se Puede!!!
I know a lot of people that like Edwards. I think it would have meant something before N. Carolina voted. He lost in N. Carolina in 2004. Maybe is presense is an omen.
WOW!!!!!!!! Edwards endorses Obama.....One more such boost and Obama will end on Planet-of-No-return. America will then Unite...
Can you smellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll what the Barack is cooking. Obama the poeples champ!
KEEP EM' COMING !!!
Barack Obama 08'/12'
This is no big deal! Edwards is a loser! Remember? He's lost 3 times now! He even said himself that he would not run for reelection as senator of NC because he knew he would not get reelected!
Hahaha! This is so, "find me a job" funny!!
Obama, my son whom i am well pleased of. Now it time to tackle Mccain and Bush. Who god bless no man curse.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha aha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ah
Birds of a feather...
Good news. All of it.
Also, by the way, none of my comments have ever been posted and I really wonder why??? Could it be because I very much dislike Obama and all he stands for and because I voice my opinion about him very frankly?? That would, of course, be against everything CNN has been trying to make us believe.
Hillary Clinton's devoted democratic supporter in Ohio.
My family wrote the Edwards campaign a check and we want our money back.
I had my picture taken with him and it is now in the trash. What a sellout.
Edwards you suck!
How preytell he got these delegates to begin with is beyond me! Failed VP run( own state didn't vote for him), failed prez run and overtures his wife doesn't agree with HIM! Let's see if the country disagrees with him come November.
Did Hillary drop out, I haven't heard a peep from her today. I guess I'll have to wait and see what she's up to next, but we still love her.
It is over...Democrats let united and obliterate!!!!tst...John McCain
he is not ready for what is going to hit him this year.
Right ON!
Obama 08
John Edwards for VP!
Whooooooooooohoooooooooooooooo
Call it, its done.... unless we listen to Clinton rules and change the process after the fact, the race is over.
Or will she do this in November as well? Will she stat trying to change the electoral college to strip votes from states that vote for McCain and give them to NY and CA so she can win the election?
Sorry, sounds like a lot of whining to me. Edwards knew this may not be the best solution, but it is the only one to honor the rules of the party and the voters that have ELECTED whom they want, instead of overturning that to SELECT Clinton.
Game Over!
Are these 6 counted in your latest tracking?
This is a boot-licking toady move to be considered for VP – and I'm a Democrat...
Gracias, Mr. Edwards & all you John Edwards' delegates who are now standing with Obama. Thank you!!!
John Edwards is a huge part of this movement of change now. We are fortunate to have him. Si se puede!
FOOL
Edwards makes me sick glad he an't president voting for Mcain if Hillary does not make it.
yeah !
WHY WE NEED PRIMARIS WHEN WE HAVE DNS PARTISANS TO CHOSE A NOMINIE FOR US.
VOTERS ARE UNEDUCATET AND CLINGING TO GUNS AND RELIGION IN HARD TIMES, THEY KNOW NOTHING SO WHO CARES WHAT THEY THINK DNC PARTISANS WILL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING . I EVEN DON'T KNOW HOW USA SURVIVED 200 Y WITHOUT mr obama .
DNC PRIMARIS ARE A JOKE . DEMOCRACI DO NOT EXIST.
Obama -Edwards -08 !!!!
Why is Senator Clinton asking her supporter to vote Republican John McCain. She needss to come out can correct her statement. That she is in full support of the Democratic Party!!!!!
Open Note to John Edwards:
Mr. Edwards, I was hoping that you would NOT endorse either candidate and remain neutral.
I went out to the Medford, Oregon Armory to see you speak in 2004, I supported you all the way.
You at least owed it to people like me, nearly half the voters who do not support Obama, to remain neutral.
I am now an Independent (was a Dem a few days ago) and I am writing in Hillary Clinton on the November ballot.
yay! so glad edwards finally endorsed Obama. Not that we need those delegates because we will win anyway but its a slap in Hillary's face and maybe she will finally drop out. I don't care if she wants to go till the last primary thats fine but after that she needs to end it.
Let the floodgates open....John Edward's FLORIDA delegates should consider the same...we may get a settlement to the MI, FL mess yet!
I did add a comment you didn't print it because it didn't suit you.
Today was a good day!!
Let's surprise them in Kentucky and sprint to the nomination.
What did Obama promise Edwards for his support? Attorney General
Poor John, only 8 delegates to his name. Write in Hillary Clinton in November, we can show them how it is done. YES WE CAN
WAY TO GO OBAMA!
Is it just me or did this whole event look suspiciously like a scene from a party convention, hailing the nominee and his newly announced running mate?
Could be Barack taken him out for a test drive.
Obama’s Church Printed Pro-Hezbollah Articles
Given the current news out of Lebanon it might be timely to point out that Mr. Obama’s church and his “spiritual advisor” the Reverend Doctor Jeremiah Wright were firmly on Hezbollah’s side during Israel’s limited incursion into Lebanon two summers ago.
From the July 30, 2006 edition (pdf file) of Trinity Church’s Trumpet newsletter
I tried to post this under Michelle's article, but comments were closed, so I'll put it here.
Aww, Michelle's gonna start crying now just like Barack has been all along. What about all the hateful things that were said about Chelsea Clinton by you disgusting hate-filled Obamabots? If Michelle can't stand the heat she should get out of the kitchen or not say stupid hate-filled things or write anti-American thesis or attend racist churches and raise her children in them.
And it's only the beginning – I can't wait! This is gonna be fun
For the first time, I feel sorry for HRC. She's getting beaten like a tum tum drum.
It'll be so very interesting to see what John Edwards was promised for his little fist full of delegates. We'll be watching.
I will write in Hillary Clinton.
