Hey, Hillary, will you support Edwards if he's the nominee?

[MalloyLiberal]

HUH? How come you won't answer!!!!

[napi21]

1. Hill did answer that question. I can't provide a link or state when I

heard her say it, but I recall her saying she would support whoever the Dem. nominee was. In fact EVERY Dem. candidate said that same thing!

[MethuenProgressive]

7. Not everyone. Edwards has refused. (hence the hysterical OP)

:dem:
I'll say I'll vote for our nominee. That makes me a better Democrat than John Edwards.

[bvar22]

24. but not necessarily a better American than JE.

The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.

[Basileus Basileon]

2. Please link to Hillary being asked and not answering. nt

[JTFrog]

3. If she's not the nominee

maybe she can keep her mouth shut this time. The last thing we need is another join the republicans in criticism of our candidate during a general election. I still don't forgive her what she did to Kerry. I doubt Edwards forgives her either.

[DutchLiberal]

6. I must have missed that story. What did she do to Kerry?

[Froward69]

11. when Kerry flubbed the joke about

the army lowering its standards for recruits... Hillary jumped on him as insulting the troops. lockstep with repukes. convinced me she has no sense of humor, and is really a D.I.N.O.

[DutchLiberal]

14. Yes, that is very low indeed.

[Clark2008]

16. But that wasn't during Kerry's campaign - that was last year.

[MonkeyFunk]

25. she "jumped on him"?

She was asked a question about it - she didn't issue a press release.

[politicasista]

28. And she answered by saying what he said was "inappropriate"

instead of saying "no comment" or "move on." She played along with the smear that he insulted the troops when she knew very well what he meant. He was joking about Bush. He has been a champion of veterans and military families in Congress more than most.

[MonkeyFunk]

45. so she was asked a question and answered by saying

it was "inappropriate". You call that jumping on him? I've heard others here call it "back-stabbing".

You guys sure use funny definitions.

[harun]

30. What is a D.I.N.O.?

[ieoeja]

36. Democrat In Name Only n/t

[earthlover]

4. Would Hillary accept the VP nomination if she does not get Pres?

It would give her some experience being an executive.

[sniffa]

5. or will she do all she can to rip him down?

:shrug:

[MethuenProgressive]

8. Would she go all "John Edwards' on John Edwards? I doubt it.

She's a Democrat.

[venable]

19. your problem with Edwards is truly ridiculous

and now you've got this 'go all John Edwards on..."

the guy is a fighter, and he sees a hypocrite and a double-talker running against him, and leading, and destined in his and many others' view to tear the party and the country down, and he properly says so...

why is 'progressive' part of your username? do you know what the term means?

[Cameron27]

23. Your problem is that because you

consider Clinton a hypocrite and a double-talker, you have no problem with Edwards tactics. Those of us who consider Edwards the biggest hypocrite and double-talker in this race, take issue with his strategy.

[venable]

32. which gets us to something you have already acknowledged

which is that many find HRC untrustworthy.

i am not arguing that there is truth in numbers, but that Edwards is obviously giving proper voice to a large body of sentiment across the country and acrros the party.

again, I ask of MethuenProgressive, what part of progressive does he/she purport to embrace?

[sniffa]

38. progressive?

progressives, or as i like to call them "liberals", don't support HRC. how could they?

[venable]

39. excactly nt

[gmudem]

46. Great question

There is no way a true liberal can support Clinton. Assuming they actually care about liberal values

[liskddksil]

9. hey maybe

Senator Clinton will run as an independent Democrat like her DLC friend Joe Lieberman.

[desi]

20. No she won't...

and it's doubtful that her supporters will take their marbles and vote third/fourth/fifth party like quite a few Hillary haters have promised to do right here at DU.

[venable]

40. her supporters have winning in mind, not principle, IMO

I'm sure there are some who look at her and think, "this way of operating, this kind of compromising, this collaboration with corporations, this particular set of policies' appeals to me...

but I've never met them.

the people who support HRC seem to most like that she is leading in the polls.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

26. Edwards Has Been An Active Dem For All Of Ten Years

Hill has been an active Dem for over thirty years...

Try again...

[liskddksil]

31. and Hillary has been

an active acceptor of any corporate and lobbyist money as well

[MaineDem]

10. I can't imagine any of the current candidates NOT supporting the nominee

I think the premise of this question is ludicrous.

[mtnsnake]

12. Well, Pouty wouldn't commit to supporting Hillary if she got the nod

...talk about being disloyal to the party. What a sore loser. Gheesh.

[MaineDem]

15. No one has lost yet

Let's see what happens in August at the convention.

And who is Pouty?

[asdjrocky]

37. Pouty? C'mon man, you're better than that Mtnsnake.

Please let's not forget that HRC was a young repug. and a Goldwater Girl. I know this was a long time ago. Tell me, when did her transformation happen? I do honestly want to know. I'm not being a smart ass.

[Catchawave]

27. Agree, it goes without saying....they will all support the Dem nom...

but to mention one by name ? How common is that?

[wyldwolf]

13. hey, MalloyLiberal... has she been asked?

[William769]

29. Please don't confuse the question.

This is a perfect Hillary bash thread, people will take offense if you inject truth into the subject.

[desi]

17. Hey MalloyLiberal

Will YOU support Hillary if she's the Democratic Party nominee? Will John?

[MalloyLiberal]

35. No, I won't :)

[desi]

42. I thought so...

I hope your vote for Rudy pays good dividends...

[Skip Intro]

18. link, link, link?

[jefferson_dem]

21. Link here --->

Between campaign appearances last week, as he rode through eastern Iowa in his campaign van, Mr. Edwards declined to answer whether he would support Mrs. Clinton.

“I’m not willing to talk about that at this point,” he said, waiting silently until the next question was asked.

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/11/12/a-not-so-perfect-picture-of-party-unity/

[Skip Intro]

22. oh yeah, I read about Edwards - was looking for a link to Hillary saying the same n/t

[penguin7]

33. I will not support Edwards if he is the nominee

I will support every other Democratic candidate.

If Edwards is nominated, the election will be a referendum on the legal system. I vote no confidence. I vote no on Edwards.

[ronnykmarshall]

34. Bye-bye now

[venable]

41. how in the world is it a referendum on the legal system?

please make some sense of this Alice in Wonderland statement.

[IndianaGreen]

43. Will she support Dennis Kucinich if he becomes the nominee OR

will she do what the Democratic Establishment did in 1972 with George McGovern, and shun the nominee?

[AzDar]

44. Kick...

[Perry Logan]

47. Guys, it's just not gonna come up.

[MethuenProgressive]

48. So, has she been asked, and did she refuse to answer, ala Edwards?

Well, did she?
