CNN: "Did the Obama campaign know about Edwards?" |
|
Slimeball CNN anchor John Roberts: "All the Democratic campaigns did exhaustive opposition research on all the other campaigns. DID THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN KNOW ABOUT EDWARDS' INFIDELITY?" (paraphrased)
Yeah, let's throw THAT speculation out there. Woohoo.
If so, so what? Is you implication that the Obama campaign was less than forthcoming? That they're guilty of a coverup? That they should have ratted Edwards out? Oh that would have played well in the national media. "DIRTY POLITICS" "POLITICS OF PERSONAL DESTRUCTION" "OBAMA A SNITCH"
And on and on, ad nauseum. <cue limbo record> How Low Can You Go, CNN?

Everyone knows about McCain's infidelity and no one seems to care. So, whether or not Obama knew about Edward's affair is supposed to be an issue? Too silly.

I turned on GMA this morning at 7, and their Edwards headline of choice was "Edwards affair...WOULD CLINTON HAVE WON THE NOMINATION???" Uh, ok GMA. There are several scenarios that could have played out, it's typical that they would try to spin it in a way that spurs resentment.

In comments after articles some posters claim 'that thug Obama' blackmailed him out of the race and then blackmailed him to force the endorsement.
Who was Obama going to tell they don't explain...National Enquirer already had a couple articles. Have a press conference to declare he believed the article?

They and their helpers are the masters of opposition research. The only difference they couldn't go out and "discredit" the woman this time; they had to sit on their honches. The thought of that gives me no glee. I wonder what they think they have on Obama. I used to be their biggest fans. Daily, they discredit themselves, more than I ever would have thought, e.g. insinuations/comments about roll calls and Mr.Obama not ready to be President. They have become shameless. Like Obama said about midway thru the primaries, they learned the WRONG lesson. They still want to engage in the politics of smear and innuendo, and still think it will work. How narsisctic they have become. Sad, sad, sad. I wish they weren't showing up at the convention instead of the Edwards. I wouldn't be surprised with the timing, if they weren't the ones that leaked this, to get more "show time," "told you so" time. This is sickening.

Attributing narcissism to the Clintons when the story is about Edwards. Do you have any idea what would have happened if edwards has been the presumptive nominee when this story came out? Talk about narcissism. If edwards even shows his face at the convention, I'll never forgive him.

Edited on Mon Aug-11-08 11:50 AM by PurityOfEssence
Whether one likes her or not, once upon a time she actually risked her political future to do something good and decent for the American people. For this, she was roundly trounced and humiliated, but she DID it. That's more than anything that can be said about Mr. Obama: he's NEVER taken a risky stand that benefitted the common folk. Never. Period.
For people to revel in her embarrassment at the hands of her husband is just filthy. She stood by her man and she was publicly vilified for it. The jackals who asked her in public about Spitzer not only have no manners, they have no souls.
Add up her whole political career, IWR and all, and stack it against Obama's, and it's remarkably similar. Take a away the IWR, for which he was not called to account, and hers is more populist than his, and that's a damning thing to say.
Glorying in her further humiliation from a man's infidelity is out of line, to put it delicately.

Certainly if we feed off Edwards or Rev. Wright, then we can certainly look at how McCain was able to snag a marriage license with a $100 million beer heiress WHILE he still wasn't divorced from his first wife, who he was cheating on and called fat after she was in a car accident.
If Obama had gotten a marriage license before he got divorced, I can only imagine the shark attacks from the media.

because of the Iowa win, the Kerry and Kennedy announcements and the big SC win. Look at the graph there is no discontinuity at January 30 th. It did help his numbers increase because some came to him - and some to HRC. There was no certainty which way the ewdards people would go.

Could he have done it with Edwards in the race? Perhaps. My point is that the steepest increase came when Edwards dropped out after SC, and possibly continued longer because he dropped out. Again, though, it's possible Obama's rise could have continued with Edwards in the race.

The fact is that Edwards was already off his peak - and some of his supporters stayed with Edwards, some went to undecided, and some added to both Clinton and Obama. You are only speaking of at most 10% - and they didn't all go to Obama.

Everyone in the campaigns knew about John getting challenged last fall on having a girlfriend. He denied it, but I'm sure folks in Obama's campaign sniffed it out. They may have put a question mark beside his name because of it.
The Obama campaign is smartly run, and that includes knowing what is going on around them.
When John got busted at 2 AM in the hotel by the tabloid media, that's when I knew it was all true.

First of all Barack Obama is not John Edwards confessor or keeper. Second if Obama did know he may have decided that it was not up to him to set the record straight on Edwards. He may just have decided that it's none of his business.

What if they forced him out over this, promising to keep it quiet? Not only would that not be above the fray, it'd be pretty creepy.
Obama's campaign is based on an extreme altruism and the sheer glory of his sterling personality. He's already played the "I didn't know about what my subordinates did" card a few times; the disillusionment could be quite a hit to his mystique.
His supporters are right in one respect that he's a "different kind of candidate": he's going to be held to a different standard because that's what he claimed set him apart. This is why the disillusionment crops up when he tacks hard to the right on the death penalty, abortion rights, drilling, spying and other non-liberal policies: he was supposed to be incorruptible and engaging in "new" politics, not the same old maneuvering.
Sadly, the threshold of disappointment will be lower for him because he claimed that it should be so high.
Let's hope he can keep up the momentum, and let's hope he either had nothing to do with this or doesn't get caught.

John Edwards has ABSOLUTELY NO RELATION to the Obama campaign, NONE, NONE, NONE...the only similirities are they both ran for the Democratic nomination to be President: Edwards lost, Obama won. That's the only relation.
Edwards was NEVER under consideration for the VP spot and even if he was, so damn what. This is unbelievable to even be an issue...that damn Librul media again? Can't keep them leftists from propagandizing everything now can we?

63. Edwards as VP - No way!!! |
|
The first time I saw John Edwards on television he was standing with the Kerrys with his back to his wife and seemed to not want to look at wife. I thought it was so weird and very tacky. By the end of the time he was on television that evening I didn't like him or how he treated his wife. I never saw him look at his wife as if he loved her. He's an opportunist. It would make me sick if Obama wanted him to be his VP. I think we have a right to expect our top representatives to love their wives and children.
