What's next, Cheney endorsing McCain? About as useful at this point, Mr. Edwards.

I am glad to see Edwards exhibit the class and respect all Democrats need to possess during the rest of this primary and general election.

And I applaud Barack for setting the example in his responses to Edwards' speech to lead the crowd from the childish booing of Hillary's name to applauding her.

Shame on the Obama's supporters who booed. Shame, shame, shame. That is not the way to unite the party. That's like the Obama supporter here who said "I hope the Reagan Democrats all die soon." Shame, shame, shame.

They always act childishly. I wonder what it is about Obama that inspires such slavish devotion in his followers.
I support Hillary, but I readily admit her faults, and don't feel the need to dis Obama in any way.
His cult of personality is disconcerting to me.

This is the next step on the road to unity and the White House!

SHOCKER!

It should really come as no suprise that Edward's endorsed Barrack....I always feel he has been overly critical of Hillary and genuinely seems to not like her.

Something about Edwards annoys me though....I just can't put my finger on it.

2 Weeks ago John and Elizabeth told People Magazine they would not endorse either candidate. Elizabeth supported Hillary where Joh was supporting Obama.

What made John change his mind? *cough VP cough*

48 hours ago, he said he wanted to let everyone vote first.

Well, I'm fine with it. I'm perfectly fine with Obama getting this nomination as long as it is clear he is the choice of the people. And with so much doubt over Michigan and Florida, the more decisive, the better.

In fact, if Obama is ahead in the popular vote that includes all caucuses, Florida, and Michigan, I will be perfectly fine with how this ended. And it looks like he can do that.

Only one left is Al Gore. I believe he is a super delegate. What other Democrat is there left to support? Has Jimmy Carter endorsed anyone yet? Has Bill Clinton endorsed a candidate yet? Oh right, never mind.

Jimmy and Bill both endorsed their doppelgängers.

"oh, no, he di'n't!!"

Tee hee ...

Carter asn't formally endorsed anyone, but in interviews he makes it clear he supports Obama.

Hillary on CNN today:

"Anybody who has ever voted for me or voted for Barack has much more in common in terms of what we want to see happen in our country and in the world with the other than they do with John McCain," Clinton said on CNN's "The Situation Room."

"I'm going to work my heart out for whoever our nominee is. Obviously, I'm still hoping to be that nominee, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that anyone who supported me ... understands what a grave error it would be not to vote for Sen. Obama."
Clinton: It'd be 'terrible mistake' to pick McCain over Obama

I was at the Obama rally tonight in Grand Rapids and, though thrilled to see both Barack AND John Edwards, I was mortified by the booing of Hillary by a small segment of the crowd...a segment that was, unfortunately, close to the microphones. The vast majority of the 12,000+ people there warmly responded to John's support of Hillary, as did I. It was, otherwise, a thrilling event and a very positive move to salve the Michigan wounds.

Good lord, you really can't handle any edgy mortality humor, can you, PJ?

Is it cause you're at an age where you feel the cold, boney hand of death reaching out for you?

Oh...and f*ck winky, smiley faces.

Pip - what a great event to attend!

HC is showing such great class, she will be the healer of the party as we win the White House and restore the Constitution!

She WAS very classy on CNN. That's the Hillary I like to see and hope to continue to see.
