Less than 24 hours after Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) trounced Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) by 41 points in the West Virginia primary, former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) is coming forth to endorse Sen. Obama's presidential candidacy on Wednesday evening, May 14, 2008, "in a dramatic attempt by the Obama campaign to answer concerns regarding Obama's appeal to working-class voters, several senior Democratic sources tell ABC News."
Update: One comment found in the blogosphere puts this endorsement in perspective: If Sen. Obama is the presumptive Democratic nominee, and the media has been incessantly beating the drum that Sen. Clinton should drop out because she can't win but is now touting this "helps" Sen. Obama's campaign, why does he need help?

RezkoWatch Electability 2008: Obama and Edwards together again
1 comments:
Once more, the Democratic party will try to overcome a nominee's elitist problems by pairing him with a "blue collar" companion, rather than meet the needs of Americans by nominating the right person. It failed with Gore and Kerry. Why would it succeed with Obama? Edwards has already failed at this twice. Clinton is obviously the only candidate connecting with "everyday people."--But, watch the wrong person, Obama, get nominated. Watch the Democrats lose again. Those who don't learn from their mistakes are destined to repeat them.
