From the campaign: Dennis is not endorsing Edwards
email from the campaign:

I need to say this very quickly and right now please help spread
the word.

Dennis is NOT endorsing Edwards and is NOT bowing out.

There is a strategy deal with Edwards that we cannot comment on
except to say we are very pleased with it because it is part of a
larger strategy.

Fox news has not been telling the truth about anything since Bush
took the White House. Do not begin believing them now.

If you get an email about this from any of your other groups or
organizations, please help us make this clear:

Dennis is NOT bowing out and Dennis is NOT endorsing Edwards.

Thank you!

Claudia Slate
Virtual Outreach Coordinator
Kucinich for President

1. This is weird
Why even announce a 'strategy deal' the day of the caucus? Confusion reigns... :silly:

3. Thanks! Funny how hysterical things got, eh?
Almost makes me think that opinions generated on false info, spread rapidly over the web, is a "bad" thing.

4. Thanks LWolf. I agree with your analysis in the other thread
that this is strategy to stay alive and is beneficial to both Edwards and Kucinich. Nothing more. Nothing else changed.

5. A deal which helps to manipulate dem. is undem.
Davide and destroy the Democratic party damn fine strategy. Dennis had only his integrity and now that is spent on a cowardly attempt to become relevant. Why not just run as third party and split the party to ensure a Bush win. Sorry for the attitude but your underhanded and cowardly acts deserve it.

8. it's all about strategy, not an endorsement
Dennis is a smart man, it's about staying in the race not dropping out.

9. Sorry to be redundant
but I came in late today and haven't had time to read through all the posts on this. I get that it's a strategy, but why Edwards and not one of the others? How does that help DK? Who does it hurt and how?

10. Well, if you're watching on CSpan,
you'll see this is a strategy used by all candidates; some of them have switched groups several times. It's been educational and enjoyable to watch!
