29. confused not allowed - you should see only "hope" - and don't ask for detail on why he can |
|
make hope into law better than Hillary - or even what form the law will take that reflects his "hope".

Edited on Sat Feb-02-08 06:23 PM by Zueda
and compared him to some guy name Wellstone, I guess a popular politician from MN, and went on to say Edwards will be standing beside him to bring about the change we need in America. I wish I could describe in better detail but what he said dropped my jaw.

Some guy named Wellstone!!!!!!!
Paul Wellstone was the only United States Senate who was up for election who voted against the Iraq War. He was killed in a plane crash days before the election.

You are kidding about not knowing who Paul Wellstone was? Right?
I was acquainted with Paul Wellstone over 40 years ago in Chapel Hill. Followed him afterward. Find a lot in common between Wellstone and Edwards.

He called Paul Wellstone a gadfly in an on the record interview. And the reporter he said it to interpreted it as total arrogant disdain for Wellstone.

(mentioned in the previous sentence), and it was a general statement, nothing special. Paying homage to what Edwards achieved through his campaign, and then saying that he knows John E will be with him and everybody else fighting. Did not sound at all as a hint of anything, so I would suggest chilling down :-).

I don't think Barack would let it slip like that. He was careful not to allow the Ted Kennedy thing to slip. He was careful not to mention Oprah early on...He is right! John will be fighting for people for the rest of his life. I don't think it has anything to do with the Obama campaign though...

46. We are really parsing words and |
|
nuances now :-). I do not remember the exact words, but my feeling was that after he said something along the lines of "john will be with us" he realized that it may sound like he is referring to something else and finished the phrase in a way to emphasize that that's not what he meant, it sounded like a slightly awkward way to wrap up his idea. But as I was saying, parsing to the n-th degree :-).

35. Saying that gives the Edwards supporters an illusion |
|
That Edwards is supporting Obama. I think Clinton should speak up about Edwards fight to overcome poverty and we are all right by his side fighting in her Town Hall Meeting on TV monday night. Out of respect for Edwards I think it's the right thing to do.

54. There is always a rumor from the Obama crowd before each primary/caucus |

Remember in Iowa that supposedly Dodd and Biden were urging their supporters to have Obama as their seconds. Or the "Gore endorsement of Obama" that was to be immediately after NH.

55. I was there - he was referring to John Edwards. |
|
I didn't give it a particular meaning - he said they would continue to fight alongside each other for what they believed in.
I thought it a respectful reference for Edwards supporters who might be in the crowd and to emphasize his support for Edward's goals. JE is very popular and had a lot of support in MN.
