Another superdelegate signs on for Obama!
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/23/935854.aspx

*** It’s a bird, it's a plane, it’s another Obama superdelegate: Before the sun even rose, the Obama campaign rolled out the endorsement of Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry, a superdelegate and someone from one of those uncontested red states. Interestingly, Oklahoma is a state Clinton carried on February 5 -- by A LOT. By the way, does Clinton have an interesting superdelegate endorsement or two in her back pocket right now? She just hasn't had a BIG endorsement in weeks. Of the remaining "gets" the one that seems most likely to come to her side (and would serve as a real boost) would be John Edwards, although he’s not a super. Newsweek's Howard Fineman said on MSNBC last night Elizabeth Edwards is likely to show up at a Clinton rally or two, but can she convince the ex-candidate to come over? It's a tough decision for John Edwards since Obama is such a heavy favorite in his home state.

1. I will lose all respect for Elizabeth and/or John if the endorse Ms. Republican lite
She ain't no populist progressive, Elizabeth. She couldn't get her health care thru before, and this time will be no different. Is Elizabeth REALLY a one issue person?

Does she not see what a horrendous panderer( say anything do anything to get elected person) Hillary really is? Does she not see how Hillary is willing to destroy the party or the eventual nominee for her own lust for power?

Elizabeth, if John had faired better and was in the battle against Hillary now, instead of Obama, John would have been the candidate who was getting the smears from her. How would you like it if she was assassinating John's character, and aiding the Republicans in the fall, for pure vindictiveness, all the while knowing she can not win mathematically. according to Party rules?

2. I hear ya
I would hope that Edwards knows that his supporters are for the most part pro-Obama....Even though Obama is not as progressive as Edwards, the links to Murdoch and Fox News etc is not appealing to progressives....

Is that probably why he has not stepped in???
