I’m not going to say I told you so because I think most of us assumed that John Edwards was waiting for just the right moment to throw his support behind the man he believes could name him second in command if he gets the nomination. In case you missed it, John Edwards officially endorsed Barack Obama this afternoon because, he says, Obama is willing to fight poverty.
On another note, Lou Dobbs made a couple of good points tonight. The democrats kept saying over and over they didn’t want a brokered convention and yet, that is exactly what is happening. They are allowing superdelegates to determine the candidate because neither Obama nor Hillary have the number of committed delegates needed to secure the nomination. Dobbs was saying the Democratic party is breaking some of its own rules while it strictly adhered to other rules that threw out the Florida and Michigan votes…states that could have taken this primary in a much different direction. What happens next is anybody’s guess but fine, I will say I told you so on this one.

Jenny, is the where the superdelegates and the regular delegates will vote for whats right for the Democratic party and not necessarily the people’s view.

Hey Bretton, at this point I think the Democratic party believes just having a candidate secured is the best thing for the party. Meanwhile, thanks Jamie for reading!

It’s ashame that the government plays unfair games as it does. When Bush was runnig for second term, and nobody wanted him in Florida counts. Now that the Democrats are on the floor (1 black) suddenly Florida does not count. we all know that america is not ready for what is taking place between the candidates running (black) However how can we as americans trust politicians when you change the rules to fit your agenda. Follow Obama if you want to be an honest upstanding citizen. Not to take anthing away from Hilary. I like her to. frankly all you republicans need to step aside. “Your crooked , your selfish and greedy”. you prefer to keep all things to yourself and yours. Democrats don’t mind sharing. thats what makes the worl d go round.
