Dependable Erection

Wednesday, May 14, 2008

John Edwards is on my TV right now endorsing Barack Obama. In case anyone wants to know.

Whatever.

I mean, I gave John Edwards money on January 29, because he said he was in this for the long haul. He sent a thanks on January 30, a thanks for the support, but he's done. Super Duper Tuesday comes and goes and then a couple dozen more contests. No endorsement. And now, after Obama's been beaten bloody for three-and-a-half months on his way to the nomination, Edwards hops aboard.

I liked the good things he had to say about Hillary. That was great stuff, imho.

I also admire how he let the fight unfold on its own between Clinton and Obama without getting in the middle of it until it was pretty much a done deal on its own.

Really, really seeing him as a super choice for AG if Obama wins in the General.

I actually like everything he said. I wish he had kept on giving his speeches all through February and March. When Obama was getting stung but no one really defected to Hillary, Edwards' 15-20% of the vote could have turned into a few wins here and there. It was never clear that voters wanted a two-person race. The media wanted a two-person race.

I don't see what the point of the timing is now. Ok...I do...obviously if the #3 guy who was ambivalent about supporting either #1 or #2 is now saying "it's over", that helps the momentum towards ending this.

I wish we knew how Edwards would've done if he'd stayed in for awhile longer.
