Why Do You Think John Edwards Waited So Long?

Posted on May 14, 2008 9:15 PM

I've heard rumors that Barack Obama gave John Edwards the cold shoulder after he dropped out. But I really think the reason why Edwards waited so long is because he wanted to be VP. Afer all why give your support to the loser and burn your bridge to The White House


I think this could be a big move. All that white working class voter talk goes out the door with Johnny Boy at Barack's side. You heard it here first!!!!! It's an Obama/Edwards ticket for the Dems.

its official
Obama/Edwards 2008!
Im excited and ready for it!!!!

Athough I think an Obama-Edwards ticket sounds damn good for November, my sis and I were talking about this earlier while watching his endorsement speech and we--along with other political analysts--think he's gunning for Attorney General. Seeing as though they're appointed by the Prez, if Obama wins, John can get his support and appointment. He did used to be an attorney, so that wouldn't be far off. Either way, I'm digging the idea of him getting some shine because I LOVE John Edwards! He's one of those rare politicians who actually care about the people.

Obama has just become a lot more electable. It is similar to JFK and Lyndon B Johnson: Democrats that appeal to different voters. JFK was the first Catholic and to appeal to those who were afraid of a Catholic president he took Johnson as his VP... Obama possibly the first black president and to appeal to voters who may be afraid of a black president he takes Edwards as his VP. I don't even support Obama, but whatever damage was done by a Clinton Obama feud no longer matters. Edwards' backing was the best thing that could have happened for Obama, and Democrats in general. McCain was once leading polls because of the schism in the Democratic party but this will definitely bridge the gap of the party. It was a very interesting move, but anyone could figure that Edwards was going to wait until there seemed to be a clear cut winner. This just happens to be extremely fortunate for Obama.

I've been saying obama edwards ticket since edwards dropped out in february.

Edwards said publicly that he wasn't bucking for a vp slot anyways, so I dunno... maybe. I think he voted for clinton during his NC primary tho. The way he was talking, it seemed like it. His endorsement is a great move on his part though. He picked a winner in the end.

Obama has it sewed up tight and with the dems taking over, doesn't look like america is going to let a republican back into the white house for at least another 8 years.

So congratulations to our next president Barack Obama.

To edwards: thanks for finally endorsing.

Hopefully he will campaign hard for his newfound presidential pick.

O has been steadily been picking up supers left and right, while H has barely gotten 5 since PA. 5 supers for hill versus the 30 supers for Barry since PA? Yeah, its over. One of her supers admitted to voting for Obama in his Indiana primary.

Its only a matter of time and Johnny wants to be on the winning side. Can't be mad at that.

Pick a winner. Vote Obama.

President Obama
V.President Clinton
Attorney General Edwards

is that the go?


Wrong!!!


There were news reports and rumors of Barack Obama secretly meeting with John Edwards at his home in Chapel Hill after John dropped out.


Barack and Hillary has been courting John Edwards endorsement ever since he dropped out because they would be able to collect John Edwards 19 convention delegates.


And no,John Edwards is not going to completely save Barack when it comes to the stupid uneducated white vote.


Ive been around and boy i'll tell ya,these dummies really believe that Barack is muslim.


That plus the reverend Wright issue equals Barack has a lot of explaining to do to dumb a$$e$.


P.s.


I was going to post a news article about that Obama 08 monkey T-shirt 3 days ago because i recognized that this blog likes to play on blacks racial insecurities and over-exaggerated victim mentality instead of dealing with facts.


Im surprised that nobody said that John Edwards waited a long time to endorse Barack because hes a racist cracker.LOL!


One last thing before i go...


OBAMA IS A PUPPET


HE ISNT GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING


I AM NOT BUYING ANYTHING HES SELLING THIS ELECTION YEAR


IM STRICTLY VOTING FOR HIM BECAUSE IT WILL GIVE THE BLACKMANS IMAGE A LITTLE BOOST IF HE IS ELECTED


IT MAY ALSO DAMAGE US IF THINGS GO WRONG WHILE HES PRESIDENT


Maybe some of you need to come clean and be as honest as me because half of you dont even care about,know or understand Baracks positions on different issues.

It's amazing how Libs support losers so much. Dean destroyed his own campaign....and now he's running the democratic party. Edwards ran mucho times for president and VP....and lost 100% of the time....and you fools are happy for his Obama endorsement? Edwards couldn't win in his home state. You all act as if Jesus himself just endorsed Obama.

John Edwards: "There are 2 Americas. The one that I live the life in. And the other that have peeons I could give 2 shits about. Don't touch my hairdo."

This is politics people. Edwards waited so long to endorse because he wanted to see who the front runner was going to be. Had it been Clinton, he would have endorsed her. It makes sense for his sake to keep his political career alive... It don't matter who the V.P. is, but i like the Governor from New Mexico as his running mate. Definately NOT Clinton and her shady ass...


Obama for Prez in 08' !!!!!

I think Edwards was giving Clinton the benefit of the doubt here and didn't want to endorse anyone until there was almost a clear cut winner. I have no doubt in my mind that he wanted to endorse Obama before but when you have a heavyweight like the Clintons involve, he was probably treading the line so he won't miss up his political career. If he would have endorsed Obama earlier and Obama lost, do you think Hillary would forgive him? Not on your life and your childern and children's children. There is also a rumor that his wife likes Hillary because of the healthcare plan. I think alot of democrat politicians have made up there mind and just want this campagain to end. The longer this goes on, the worse it will be for the nominee to catch up to McCain in the general election campagain. Edwards might be also look for a spot in the cabinet or VP spot.

Nothing but a white man selling out to a Black Muslim for a position in the adminstration. Hillary is still our country's best bet.

The timing couldn't have been better! He KNEW he was going to get bully-footed in WV and he needed something with some really good media spin to take the attention off of her and back on to him. So, he waited until after the WV elections...and just when the talk of a Hilary "comeback" would get started - BAM! Edwards endorses him and almost puts Hilary out for the count. GENIUS timing!

John Edwards just going to hop on the bandwagon again huh, but yeah edwards lacks any appeal here, and he's not that experienced himself, Obama should find someone with experience to balance out his inexperience which is likely going to be attacked in the general election

@EVERYONE WHO IS READING THIS PAGE
When it comes to experience, please someone tell me what the criteria is? No of these people have been president. In Clinton's chase, just because you slept with the president, doesn't mean you could be president. We have seen where "experience" has gotten us. "Experience" is just some bureaucratic b.s. that is meant to control us, to make us think that we need some one who is doing the same shit they have been doing for years that has not benefited no one but their own pockets. Bill was the governor of Arkansas. Did he have any foreign relations experience? Bush was governor of Texas but was he totally qualified to run a nation. Come on people, wake up! Vote for someone who has most of your interest at heart. They could always hire people with said experience in there cabinet.

He waited so long just for this reason. It's like holding on to that trump card right until the end. It was well played. People instantly forgot that Hillary kicked Obama's ass in racist West Virginia. No doubt Obama has something lined up for old thumb pointer John Edwards.

I think this was planned. The timing is TOO perfect. Pure genius on the part of Obama. Yesterday Hillary had interviews on mostly all of the networks to follow up her MAJOR win but by the time the evening news came around this endorsement is all that anyone cared about. She got no shine for her accomplishment Tuesday. I support Barack but I'm not expecting much change. His strategy still suggest politics as usual. Just a smarter and more strategic type of politics. And I have no problem with good planning and execution.

Edwards is after the crumbs, thats all.

I think it took long because he was leaning to Sen. HRC, but changed his mind. I still am a HRC supporter, and I will not switch until everyone vote. It will NOT BE
Obama/Edwards because we will lose, but if its
Obama/Clinton we have a chance at taking back our WhiteHouse.

He wanted to know what he'll get out of it. Hill's broke and can't sustain her campaign at this point. So he went to the obvious winner.

Um, yesterday, Pastor Manning SAID that he had concrete evidence that Obama and Rev. Wright were involved in a homosexual relationship. I really don't believe him. I think that Pastor Manning is looking for some shine. But, if it's true, how would YOU PEOPLE feel about Barack then? After all, aren't you all for gay marriage? Isn't that one of the liberal main agenda items? Just asking.

Obama has done his job allready. And that JOB was to do two things. Make White people think differently about forien names and races. The second thing was to promote his name,and make it house hold thru the media,while @ the same time not saing OSAMA. So,in turn you have people looking for there next presedent in this adorned Blackman,and nooone in the media says Osama,and if they do hear the name,they will think about Obama because the name has been drilled into the brain of the people so much, now you have the Fake foreward thinking whitepeople running aroun saing shit like "Obama Nation baby!" And every Blackmuthafucka in my neiborhood thinks Ol'bama is going to give them a job. You should see the look of betrayal I get when i tell them im not voiting for Obama. "You know whut,now i know how those other Slaves looked like when the smart Slaves told the dumb ones "Wees leavin',
wees goin' nawf.(north) But if Masta catch us,he gon kill us.
It dont matter none,he gon kill us anyways. JUST AS I SAID BEFORE, WE WILL NEVER HAVE A BLACK PRESEDENT BEFORE WE SEE A WHITE WOMAN PRESEDENT,YOU STUPID FUCKING SLAVE CHRISTIANS. Its going to be funny to see all the sad black people when he looses,as if he had a chance anyways. I hope the news has camras @ large black gatherings around the us to see how people are going to hugging and cring n' shit,AND AFTER ALL THAT,"THEY" ARE GOING TO BE THE ONES WHO USE THE WORD ""RACIST"" FIRST, Its going to look like it did when the O.J. verdict was handed down,White people was cring yelling nigger this nigger that, now watch Black people do the same. Im down w/Clinton because....we aint finna hav no Black presedent,period. I HAVE BEEN TRICKED IN THE LAST TWO ELECTIONS,DO YOU THINK IM GOING TO LET THOSE BASTARDS GET ME AGIAN BY DANGLING A BLACK GUY IN FRONT OF ME LIKE HE IS THE ANSWER TO ALL THE WORLDS PROBLEMS? THINK AGIAN.
lol BLACK PRESEDENT,FUCK OUTTA HERE NIGGA (KATRINA,SEAN BELL,JENA 6) ANYBODY WHO VOTES 4 OBAMA HAS ALLREADY BEEN HAD,AND IS A PAWN OF THIS SYSTEM!

opne flop supporting an other

Ya'll are all slaves homey.. Thats all I gotta say. I don' t care if you post it or not slave.

I wish people would stop talking about what Obama needs to do to win over the "white working class" voter. He could offer every American $5,000 for their vote and he still wouldn't win in West Virginia. It is his race...it is as simple as that. Nothing he does or says can change their mind. They could have a dog running for president against Obama and the dog would win the vote in West Virginia. People get mad at blacks for voting for Obama just because he is black. Not all blacks do, but some do. There has NEVER been a black president, why is that so hard to understand to some people. Most of the white working class voters won't vote for a canidate, they will vote AGAINST Obama.
