Want to say something positive to this group
Edited on Wed Apr-30-08 06:48 PM by benny05
Except for a couple of folks in this group, you all have been good not to have these regular diaries about "Edwards should endorse... (generally Obama) now, or else...", or understanding that the Edwardses are choosing to stay out of it. At least not here. Most of you have stayed out of it, and have kept the Kerry news going. That's what I do about keeping the Edwards news going at EENR blog.

I'm aware of a diary at the JRE forum about JK that wasn't appropriate for that forum.

Rox63 and I don't get to visit very much, but both of us agree a progressive needs to be elected. I can not vote for Clinton but I'll confess, not Obama either. I'm supporting a Dem in general. (That means I've voted for Edwards already on Feb 5th).

:hi:

There was an accusation of this nature on a GDP about how Edwardians have no clue about Edwards campaign:

Just as Kerrycrats know John and Theresa well, hard core Edwardians understand the Edwardses' positions (most of the time, they occasionally made surprises) and their choices. I just thank my lucky stars Elizabeth is doing some of the heavy lifting in smacking McCain around on health care and other issues.

Anyway, I wanted to say thanks, and much good luck to Senator Kerry in his re-election. I read something so strange yesterday at TPM (I think) that Kerry's approval rating was below 50% and I was thinking Why? He loves the Bay State and will do as much as possible in keeping progress going.

2. Hi Benny! Nice to see you posting on the JK forum!
I agree 100% that we need a Dem elected this year, and that we need to come together when this is all over to do that.

I certainly would like superdelegates to come out and say who they are supporting, just so that the process ends sooner instead of later. However, I have never nor will I ever put pressure on the Edwardses in particular to endorse anyone. I assume they will do so in June. Hopefully, others of a smaller profile will do so sooner.

P.S. -- I'm catching up on Daily Show & Colbert, and finally got to watch the one with Edwards last night -- HILARIOUS!! Especially when the "EdWord" board took on a life of its own and started knocking him, and he took it in good stride.
