Edwards was very perceptive. Hillary realized what Edwards was saying was true but was too late on trying to position herself as one of the agents of change.

[danger7x7]

no its not true she was a agent of change real change is what you do its not a speech on things you promise many people have healthcare because of her and she has done so much look at her credentials as oppose to edwards what has he done to produce change he is not an agent of change he was just jumping on the band wagon of change the only who is change is hillary and obama

[raisnaceo]

What do you think now? Will he be the VP after this endorsement?

[BobfromSydney]

Great analysis.

[MYPanicAttack]

It's easy if you think about it... you can either ride on the wave of change or find yourself under it. Edwards was ducking a speeding bullet in Obama. Get out of the line of fire. Simple.

[MopacMurtaza]

Nothing wrong with either?

[MYPanicAttack]

not when your trying to run for president of the US

Barack Hussein Obama is a truly great man.

He has done so much for the world.

Okay, Dr. Ron Paul may want to bring our brave troops back home from that Islamic hell hole Iraq right this second, but Mr. Hussein Obama wants to do that TOO!

Dr. Ron Paul is good because he is against the killing of unborn children inside the mother and he is FOR low taxes, but he is not as good as Obama. No way!

It will be between Dr. Ron Paul and Obama and Obama will win.

[Kdees]

well I may agree with you but I'm so selfish that I want Paul to win :D

[canucksfan94]

Yeah! Ron Paul will definetly win the Republican nomination. A fifth place finish in the Iowa caucus. Wow! His campaign sure is gaining up momentum.

[velocity246]

lol I was thinking VP too

[Tyler1337Admin]

Go Obama!

That's all I have to say about this. And I wouldn't mind of Edwards was Vice President, we need someone to help decide with Obama, and I definatelly want someone who wants change as much as him. However, Obama should be the leading man, since he has the right ideas.

[CheeezMaster]

suck.

[elshizzo]

he's not running for VP again, he's just attacking Hillary because she's a status quo b#tch pretending to be a force for change

[lebaneseameer]

If push comes to shove and there's only a choice between her n somebody like ROMNEY and Huckabee, I'd vote for her! But I really can't stand that bitch!

[CUTWEST]

Hilary is the 78th coming of the Devil.

[lebaneseameer]

I also think he's trying to market himself as the WHITE Obama! People like Obama because he's for change! But there's a lot of cynicals that think he'll never be elected President because of his skin color! So basically Edward's trying to market himself as the OBAMA that would actually beat the Republican candidate for President, be it Huckabee or Romney!! That's my take on it...let me know if u agree!

[Ediamond1]

Totally agree. That, and he'd rather be second than be third. So he's basically trying to retain second place, and then compete with Barack for first place later on. Great observation, by the way! :)

[themightylex]

I've thought that since last spring. I always viewed Edwards as a salesman more than a honest public servant, but when he started his campaign a year before announcing his candidacy, i wondered what was up. his message was very morphic, and always seemed to bite off of whatever was currently resonating with people. He's smart, but shifty.

[Toddo31]

That is ridiculous. Why do you try to cram everything into the box of race??

Today race is about as much of a factor as JFK's Roman Catholicism. It is there, but there are MUCH bigger factors in the primary than race. Like Obama winning Iowa and Edwards trying to marginalize Clinton.

[lebaneseameer]

Why is race important? Because we haven't even had a Jew in office!! Not only is it hard to be President if you're black, it's hard if your name is Barack Obama! Maybe in ur group of friends, it's nice to have a black President..I like Obama too, but the US reelected BUSH four years earlier! Maybe I'm being too cynical, but I don't think the people that voted for Bush in 04 are too open-minded for a black President named BARACK OBAMA!

[Toddo31]

The majority of the population voted for nobody in 2004.  Obama is motivating people to come out and get involved.

How relevant is race when Obama can sweep a state like Iowa that is more than 75% white? It just isn't as simple as that.

[ZWahls21]

75% white? Haha, here's an eye-opener.

We're 98% white. But we love him anyway.

But I agree that Edwards is setting himself up as Obama-esque, just no the White Obama. He's electable for a different reason.

He's from the South.

The last time we had a non-Southern Democratic President was FDR.

[lebaneseameer]

You forgot Massachusetts Senator John Fritzgerald Kennedy! But ur right...he's a white Southern Democrat!

[tyedieboy]

well, if he dosent win, i guess there goes his racisim lawsuit...

[abovefilms]

there is no racism lawsuit. geez. stop creating fairy tales and use facts.

[tyedieboy]

words fail me...

[PrezAlex]

May bite him in the ass later if overtaking Hillary takes too long. I'd have gone after Obama more if I were Edwards campaign manager. Making it a three person race (assuming the now burgeoning lead Obama has in NH) would've given John more ability to at least "beat Hillary" again.

[Nicoleiia]

hahahaha

[DblOSmith]

Ooooooh, Hilary looked pissed.  I'd sleep with one eye open, John Edwards. heh.
