Is there way to contact Edwards to ask him not to endorse Hillary?

[Armstead]

I'm serious. Does anyone know of a good way to e-mail him, now that he doesn't have a campaign.

I think those who were Edwards supporters, and who now prefer Obama, ought to contact him to request that he not endorse anyone if he is thinking of endorsing Clinton as the news media is hinting.

Personally, I believe Hillary's coziness with the corporate sector and her and her husband's records would be antithetical to what Edwards message was.

Perhaps if enough of his supporters let him know, he might re-think it. Maybe not, but at least we will have done what we could.

[buff2]

1. I want his e-mail too

So I can request he not support Obama.

[Armstead]

11. That's fine. We can both use it if we get it.

[splat]

2. He's not looking to focus groups to make his decisions

[annie1]

3. oh lord. his decision is his. he knows what the will of the people is already.

[buff2]

6. The will of the people is not Obama

he doesn't have ALL of us in his kool-aid drinking cult.

[annie1]

9. oh, yes, :D, i just meant he know how many want obama and how many want hil....

bam is def. not the will of the people.

[Armstead]

14. Obama and Hillary are about equally the will of the people at the moment

And my suggestions was to merely convey directly the belief of many people that Hillary is not consistent with a message of change or challenging the corporate status quo.

[annie1]

19. i'm sure that will be very enlightening to him

[Armstead]

28. Oh don't be such a snark -- You're boring

You're free to try to write Edwards to urge him to supoport Clinton..Or just to sit it out.

As am I.

And he is free to read any e-mails or toss them into the spam bin.

[alteredstate]

33. Could someone please translate this for me?

:wtf:

[anigbrowl]

13. No, just more of us. Hm, I'm thirsty!

[Kittycat]

42. Will of the people = Majority. Obama holds the majority in all areas.

And this is a delegate race. She has no chance to flip this in her favor without stepping on the will of the people.

[buff2]

43. If he wins this nomination

he will cost us the WH.He should think more about the consequences later on......like the GE, instead of his own selfish desires.

[splat]

50. You just keep telling yourself that

[taterguy]

4. Just go down to Chapel Hill and tell him

It shouldn't be that difficult to find his house.

I've heard it's really big, at least from earlier flamewars here.

[slinkerwink]

5. there's his website

[jlake]

7. I don't think he wants to whore himself out based on Obamamaniac's beliefs.

I think he wants to make a principled stance.

[buff2]

8. Isn't it funny

how "whitey" is ok with Obama supporters when they want something? Geesus.

[FrenchieCat]

23. You will eat your hateful words.......

because they put you on par with those you judge.

[buff2]

30. pffffffft!

[SoFlaJet]

39. fucking disgusting

above your post there Frenchie utterly disgusting-man I hope they are proud of themselves democrats

[goclark]

24. What a vile thing to say

Thank you for inspiring me to make a donation to the NAACP Legal Defense fund as well as my continuing donation to Obama.

Obama's campaign is composed of the colors of the rainbow.
How insulting you are to the millions of voters, especially the young, who have voted for Obama.

And, how insulting you are to me, an African American who supported Edwards/Kerry all the way.

[buff2]

41. Yeah

That's how I felt when I heard Wright's pathetic racist rants. But you all approve of those,don't you? That's what I find disgusting.

[goclark]

46. Your opinion is not my reality

[Armstead]

31. I hope I didn't really understand your statement in the way I think

If so, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

If I misinterpreted it, I apologize.

[alteredstate]

40. What an awful thing to say.

[Armstead]

10. If that's what he believes, fine....But don't assume it'd be whoring out tom do otehrwise

You Hillaryzoid.

[jlake]

12. I don't expect that he will endorse Hillary - but I do think he is capable

of making up his own mind without being barraged by partisans asking he side with them.

[buff2]

15. I don't think he will endorse the "uniter" either.

[jlake]

20. I don't think so either. I think Edwards will stay out of the primary battle -

but if he does endorse I would bet 2:1 for Hillary.

[buff2]

22. That's what I think too

He's got to see what is going on......especially after preacher-gate came out.

16. If anyone truly believed that Edwards was sincere in this latest

attempt to be President,what will they say when he does endorse Hillary?

[jillan]

17. Something tells me that John Edwards has a mind of his own.

[sandnsea]

18. Rumors of that affair went away completely

True or not, I'm sure it's not something Edwards wants splashed all over the media with a sick wife. The Clintons have media power. They don't use it to go after Bush.

[babylonsister]

25. You might have missed this; they've sprung up again...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=5106418

[sandnsea]

32. I'm missing something

I didn't see any rumors of Edwards' affair in that post.

[babylonsister]

37. Damn, now I'm confused.

:crazy: I thought you were responding to the OP; don't know anything about an 'affair', and wouldn't believe it if I did. I thought you were talking about the possibility of Edwards endorsing Clinton, that 'affair'.

So solly.

[sandnsea]

47. There were rumors of an affair

Back before Iowa. I've never seen a sex story about a politician disappear so quickly. Just like I've never seen someone drop out of a race as quickly as John Edwards did, with Elizabeth saying it was "complicated", or words to that affect. It's always looked weird to me. And now he's endorsing Hillary?? Just weird. Kind of like Russ Feingold not running and not endorsing, even though it's clear he doesn't support Hillary. Just weird.

[Cha]

44. Thanks, I don't believe it..

but, I'm saving this remind me when it does or does not happen.

If it does at this late point when Edwards can see that most people want Obama because he is more interested in them .. then I can only conclude that Edwards is trying to subvert the process for something to gain.

I took him at his word that he had changed..I really don't believe this is going to happen. I think it's just more hilarys' psych ops.

[buff2]

26. Bush isn't running for the primary

:eyes:

[sandnsea]

34. Bush has been the President for eight fucking years

The Clintons haven't organized one serious opposition to any of his policies. Most of the time, Bill is either standing beside the Bush's or giving Georgie the "benefit of the doubt".

[Major Hogwash]

49. Bush is just a puppet for his corporate masters, just like McCain is.

So, there won't be any change in the way government is run with McCain, or Romney or any other fuckin' Republican, for that matter, if they stay in the White House in 2009.

By the way, Hillary is the biggest corporate whore in Congress.

[Armstead]

36. Affair? Huh?

[ruggerson]

21. Actually I think you'd just end up alienating him

He makes up his own mind. And I'm not so sure he's going to endorse Clinton anyway.

I AM sure they're probably focused on getting Elizabeth well and would not take kindly to an email assault from either Obama or Clinton supporters.

[annie1]

27. awesome post. it's good to remember that not everything is about obama/clinton....

i didn't even think of his life situation right now.

[Armstead]

38. There was a report on Tweety's show that he is going to make an endorsement soon...

..and that it would most likely be soon.

I'm also not suggesting that people go visit his house and bug him. Or even try to call him, or clog upo his personal e-mail....Simply finding out the means by which he receives messsages from the public.

[Breeze54]

29. Nope. He can't afford the internets or phone bills anymore.

:silly:

[LWolf]

35. I'd like to ask him not to endorse either. n/t

[NastyRiffraff]

45. His contact form is still up

Here: http://www.johnedwards.com/about/contact/form/

I don't know whether it still works or not, though, because I'm not about to contact him about whom he will or will not endorse. I believe he's made up his mind about that, whether or not he endorses anyone, and all the emails in the world ain't gonna change it.

BTW, are you on his mailing list? It seems that if he wanted our opinions about endorsement, he would have asked for it. He's not asking for a vote on it that I've heard about, and I AM on his mailing list.

However, you're free to try that link; as I said, it may not work.

[Armstead]

55. Thank you

I was going to do that if I didn;t find anything newer, like a website for his supporters.

I figured it's worth a shot. Worst he can do is ignore it.

I was on his mailing list at one time, but I've changed e-mail addresses lately.

[tammywammy]

48. Edwards has a mind of his own

He's a smart man. He can endorse whomever he wants to. If this was a quick and easy decision, I'm sure he would have already announced an endorsement.

[LisaL]

52. Oh dear lord.

WTF is wrong with you people?
Edwards is a grown man.
If he wants to endorse or not to endorse someone, he had more than plenty of time to think about it.
You've lost it totally.

[Armstead]

54. So we're to stay out of everything political?

I suppose we should never contact our Congresspeople either.

Perhaps, just perhaps, Edwards does not realize what the people who supported him feel about this.

Your snarky response is vacuous.

[LisaL]

56. Why do you presume that the way you feel about it is how all

people who supported him feel about it?
By the way he is an adult.
He had plenty of time to think about endorsing or not endorsing someone.
Why do you presume he can't make up his own mind?

[Armstead]

57. I don't "presume" anything.

I especially don't presume that you are an adult, by your needless bashing of a simple question and idea.

[Kolesar]

53. Say it ain't so! ... eom

[KaryninMiami]

58. Did I miss something? Is there actual proof that Edwards is going to make an endorsement?

I saw something about a mention on MSNBC somewhere but is that based on anything factual or just talking heads doing their thing? I for one would be horrified and deeply disappointed if he endorsed her at this point- especially now. I hope he (and Gore) waits until it's time for party unity because that's when they will both be needed in a big way.

[Armstead]

59. Just a talking head so far -- which is why I suggested trying to head it off at the pass

[Mooney]

60. He should be able to endorse who ever he wants.

I voted for Obama, but if Edwards wants to support HRC that's his right, both as a former candidate and as an individual.

[Armstead]

61. Uh....Yeah

No one said he didn't have a right to do whatever he wants.

I wasn't talking about locking him in a closet until the primaries are over....Geeze Louise.

[Mooney]

62. I didn't say you said that.

So there!
