The Edwards endorsement was supposed to offset the horrible crushing blow to obama in W Virginia and the fact that so many of the white people came out to vote for Hillary, even though he only got some 27% of total votes cast.
That endorsement was a publicity stunt...and to make Obama continue to appear "successful" when in fact the various media pundits and blogs were questioning the fact that those kinds of voters in WVa are replicated by the millionfold across this nation, and that WVa is just a small sampling of what Obama will have to encounter in the General Election if he gets to that point.
So...the Obama campaign wants to "camouflage" his defeat and have some loser democrat, like the Richardson loser, come running out to bend over for Obama.
Probably next week, in the Kentucky primary, if and when Clinton gets a resounding victory in that primary, some other nonentiy democrat "loser" will comne crapping out to endorse Obama with all the usual bending over, and other hulllabalos.
This provides the MSM the opportunity to get off the "Hillary Victory " track and discuss the Obama victory endorsements...
I have long thought that this entire obama campaign issue is something conjured up so that only TWO MEN face-off in the General Election, and Obama will lose, man loses to man..and the band marches on.
It would certainly not look too good if McCain were to lose to Clinton, man loses to woman, two seniors duking it out on the campaign trail who are actually "friendly".
Man-to-man combat on the campaign trail is more like what the males always want to see, and that is just MHO.
Frankly, maybe the DNC will cut Clinton short in the numbers of delegates she should technically get and be hers in the Michigan and Florida credentials meeting on May 31st, just so that Obama can remain ahead. They be some really nasty DNC people there, who don't like the Clinton mettle.
I believe that the Gary Indiana precints vote-ho9ldup past midnight was to manipulate some of the vote counts so that it would not appear that Hillary had a large percentage lead and thus, a larger number delegates allocated. It was almost an even match...and that counts boatload for the Stinking Obama campaign. Yup...they wuz cheating, in the backwoods of the mafia-politico-riddled Chicago suburbs of Lake County, Indiana.
