John Edwards Endorses Barack Obama!

May 15, 2008

Former Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards endorsed Sen. Barack Obama on Wednesday at a campaign event in Grand Rapids, Michigan. So love muffins here’s the question, is this the nail in the coffin for Sen. Hillary Clinton or does she still have a chance?

The truth of the matter is that ANYTHING is possible. I mean her taking the nomination is NEARLY impossible but this country tends to sometimes do what it wants to do, so although deep down inside I think it’s over for her, I know that I just can’t be 100 percent sure.

I will be honest though and say that I’m hoping it is. I was a big hillary fan in the beginning but as this campaign has unfolded she has shown some true colors that I just can’t get with. So it’s obama for me all the way! And I will ride or die (lol) with his campaign all the way as well!lol!

I am hoping this will put that old bird (Hillary) out of her misery and out of the race. It’s as if she is determined to F it up for Obama. She has the mindset, “If I don’t get it, you won’t get it Negro!” I definitely don’t want to see her on the ticket.

Obama/Edwards ‘08 Mark My Word.

It’s over for Hillary as the democratic nominee, but I have a strong feeling that at some point during the Summer Obama will choose her as vice president to ensure the win in November. Dream ticket: Obama/Clinton 08!!!

I guess Obama needed that endorsement after getting stomped in West Virginia. But, it doesn’t really help him do much else. He still lacks the low and middle class white vote, senior citizens, Asians, and Latinas…it’s a guarantee he will struggle in November. I l am still ridin with Hillary and she should stay in it until he picks up the right number of delegates. It can’t really hurt him because he seems to have a huge following.

He blew her out in some of the biggest and most diverse states like New York, California, Florida, Michigan…oh wait he didn’t. My bad…like I said it will be a struggle!

Well if that’s true, how is he in the lead? People keep talking about Fl. and Mich. when they didn’t campaign and Obama wasn’t even on the ballot for Mich. Anyway she wouldn’t win Mich. and is she won Fl it wouldn’t be by a big margin at all.

Of course in the beginning she was in the lead, because she’s riding off of her husband legacy and name. She was most certainly the front runner, but what makes it even more remarkable, that this no name senator came out of no where and is now the nominee for the Presidential race. The rednecks in W. Virginia do not speak for America, America has spoken and they want OBAMA..

Well I don’t think he’s lacking with the blue collar votes anymore seeing as though there is Union after Union stepping behind him and supporting him. Obama didn’t only get the endorsement of John Edwards as a superdelegate but he got the endorsement of at least three to six delegates w/in the past few days. So he’s well on his way to securing the nomination and anyone who thinks differently just doesn’t want to.

AWWW so sweet an OBAAAMA supporter calling West Virginians Rednecks it’s almost I don’t know what’s the word racist or a bigot. We all know how much Obaama and his supporters love to use those words

Luckily this person (LB) hails from Chicago so it speaks well for Senator Obama and his “unifying” coalition. (COugh cough BS…cough cough) It’s so postive I can’t help but want to support Obama now… right!!!

Now back to my point blue collar workers are not only union workers. If you really were working class you would understand that. But, I will give you the union workers.

So let’s move on to the list of other people he struggles with Latinos, Asians, senior citizens. But, why address that because people continue to live in a very unrealistic world.

Yes it’s true he may have the democratic nomination but it is not by a large spread. Anybody know the real numbers…let me give them to you:

Estimate w/IA, NV, ME, WA*
Obama 16,438,697 49.3%
Clinton 15,734,865 47.2%
That means Obama is in the lead by about 703,832. Over 32 million people have voted and he leads by 700,000 votes.

Check it out for yourself:

So yes AMERICA has spoken and about half of them do not support Mr. Obama. and those numbers obviously don’t include the Republican party so they mean very little.

In terms of the genral election this is something he should be concerned about and that is my point. Can he win? I don’t know for sure but he better get on his knees and pray he can woo Hillary supporters.

It is sad but my hope is that in terms of the Democratic Party and Hillary supporters they choose to vote against McCain even though it doesn’t mean you support Obama it just means you support your party!

I am lucky enough to live in a state that will go Democratic regardless of who the nominee is so I get to support who I beleive is the right person for this job and best believe I will write in Hillary’s name.

But, many of you are not in that position, places like Ohio, Michigan and Florida those are swing states and will mean alot in the General Election. So my plea is even if you don’t support the Senator from Chicago think about our country and what a Democratic president with experienced people surrounding him (fingers crossed) can do!

To all my fellow Hillary supporters: Please ignnore the IGNORANT, DISRESPECTFUL Obama supporters who continue to insult Hillary and in some cases may even have attacked you. This race is so much more important than them!! We can not have another republican in the White House it is detrimental to us as a people.

I know it is kind…well not kind of it is hypocritical to ask you to do something I am not doing myself. But, I truly believe in my candidate, I have supported her financially as well as campaigned for her at home and other nearby states. So, I feel it is my right to vote for her in the end! But, that’s just me!

Double Kisses!!!

John Edwards is looking for a cabinet position. His endorsement will be just as useful as Ted Kennedy’s. The blue collar votes don’t like him. John Edwards isn’t going to do anything to change that.
