Wouldn't it be a HOOT if Edwards took Nevada ?!

[jaysunb]

Even as an Obama supporter, I'd love to see the media and talking heads shit their pants ! :evilgrin:

And, I think it would be good for the country.

[Kittycat]

1. I know - and they're still cleaning up from the last mess, LOL

[tekisui]

2. Go, Edwards. I love seeing talking heads explode.

[NanceGreggs]

3. Agreed!!!

"There's nothing like the smell of MSM heads exploding in the morning. It smells like victory!"

[laureloak]

4. That would stand the big mouths on their heads for a bit. n/t

[Olney Blue]

5. They would need lots of these:

[onehandle]

6. All three frontrunners have their strengths.

More importantly, they're all Democrats.

The media would freak if Edwards took Nevada with no help from them.

Somehow they would probably take credit for it.

To Hell with the MSM!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

7. hoot? woot!

:applause:

[Glimmer of Hope]

8. Oh yeah. That would be awesome.

[Andy823]

9. I am with you

They need to be taken down off their high horse and this would do wonders for their "ego"! :rofl:

[Omega3]

11. I agree, I was voting for HC over Obama in NH for the same reason.

(of course I wanted JE to do as good as possible but you get the point.)

[Sarah Ibarruri]

10. From your mouth to God's ears! nt

[nickinSTL]

12. heh. That would be great!

Be good both to see Edwards win one AND for the media to look like fools. Again.

[femmocrat]

13. ITA......It would be GREAT for the country.

And high time that Edwards gets his due.

[MelissaB]

14. Yep! Told hubby a while back it's Edward's time.

:hi:

[rwheeler31]

15. That would be spectacular.

[Flabbergasted]

16. It would be an amazing twist and definately not out of the question.

[SnoopDog]

17. Well, I'm in Reno, like Kucinich first, then Edwards...

[saltpoint]

18. It'd be ok with me if he did. And if that happened, I wouldn't want to be

Brit Hume's dry cleaner.

[Yael]

26. Bwa!

Nice visual

:rofl:

[Zynx]

19. I'd be all for it.

Get some additional discussion on this race.

[lonestarnot]

20. Hell yeah!

I'd love to see that happen! :applause:

[spooky3]

21. it would be good for all the other Dem. candidates as well

Suddenly, the media might have to start focusing on issues.

[iamjoy]

22. Heck - A Brokered Convention

I'm an Edwards supporter. I realize now his chances of winning the nomination are slim and I do not want him to accept a #2 slot again - bad for him and won't help the nominee.

What I want now is for Edwards to have as many delegates as possible without winning and without there being a clear winner.

Then, as we approach the convention, John Edwards will become the most important man in the Democratic party. As the negotiations go on, his delegates will be a package deal with the best of his agenda.

And of course, to keep the media guessing and showing the pundits for the idiots they are for being too quick to dismiss him.

Heck, let Kucinich win a few states too, the pundits would really crap themselves then.

[zalinda]

23. Kucinich might win Michigan n/t

[rocktivity]

51. I hope that every Dem in MI not voting for Hillary will vote for Kucinich

That would see Jaysnub's "hoot" and Tuesday Afternoon's "woot" and raise it a

:woohoo:
rocknation

[iamjoy]

55. Yeah, But MI Has No Delegates

Like Florida it's a beauty contest - with fewer contestants.

[Yael]

27. I like the way you think. Especially if Kooch can pull MI

:evilgrin:

[Control-Z]

24. I would looooove

to see Edwards take the state!

[Yael]

25. It would also send a STRONG message to Camp Clinton to back

the fuck off of the negative interparty campaigning.

Edit to add -- not that I mind watching her self destruct in this manner. It was only a matter of time...

[David Zephyr]

28. As an Obama supporter, I'd have to also be happy for John Edwards.

I just like John and Elizabeth as I do Barack and Michelle.

This Obama guy also loathes how the media ignored Edwards. I was happy to see that Bill Maher's show mentioned that several times. It's the truth.

They also did it to Kuncinich.

[OwnedByFerrets]

29. I want that soooooooooo badly.

[lastliberalintexas]

30. As an undecided, I would enjoy it just so

it would shut up some of the more vocal, aggresive of the Obama and Clinton supporters. Even if just for one night.

[AtomicKitten]

31. I'm down with the #1 and #2 spots for O & E in EVERY state. nt

[progressoid]

32. Tweety would have to be hospitalized!

[saltpoint]

44. Agree. In fact, we might want to admit him involuntarily to a locked ward

just on general principles.

[Chasing Dreams]

33. Edwards has two things in his favor

1. He's going to kick butt in the debate tomorrow night.

2. Sidney Blumenthal & many other longtime Clinton supporters will get caught up in various drinking, gambling, and sex activities next Friday night, and won't be functioning very well when it counts next Saturday. :hangover:

[loudsue]

49. And you know this...how? n/t

[Lugnut]

34. I know I'd be happy about it.

A win for John and a load of shit sitting where it belongs would be a two-fer.

:kick:

[origin1286]

35. If Edwards wins Nevada

It seems to make a brokered convention very likely.

Hillary has no shot in a brokered convention.

As an Obama supporter, I'd vote for Edwards in a heartbeat if he somehow got the nomination

Hillary? Never*


* unless it's vs Huckabee

[lisainmilo]

36. I would....

:bounce: :woohoo: :applause: then I would :cry: tears of joy!

[jaysunb]

37. Wow ! A thread w/ no crazies....

:evilgrin:

[Skittles]

38. not an Edwards supporter but yes, I would love it

I would love a REAL race instead of people doing what the MSM tells them to by insisting it's all HRC/Obama all the time

[NastyRiffraff]

39. This is a great thread!

Especially since the OP is an Obama supporter, and because of the sentiments of other candidates' supporters. Thanks to all of you, for showing that not everyone here spews slime about other candidates.

And yes, I'll be THRILLED if Edwards won Nevada! :bounce:

[trashcanistanista]

40. In a word, yes.

:)

[AtomicKitten]

41. It would be interesting, but only if Obama is a close second!

;)

[jaysunb]

48. On second thought

you're right ! :rofl:

[rhyden77]

42. Edwards

I agree. The media has more or less written him off, but it would really turn it into a three person race if Edwards were to win Nevada.

[bklyncowgirl]

43. The more Clinton and Obama get down in the mud the better Edwards is going to look

I would not be surprised if he pulled off a shocker. If Clinton and Obama keep sliming each other, Edwards could be the compromise candidate.

In my opinion, a long, hard fought primary will yield a battle hardened candidate who's going to be ready to take the fight to the Republicans in November. In 2004, the race was effectively over after New Hampshire--that did not serve us well. I would like to see the candidates focus more on the issues and less on this identity politics and personal crap.

[krkaufman]

45. For that reason alone it would be most welcome.

Whatever it takes to extend the race, the better off we are. (short of more of the Rove/Republican-style campaigning, which will have a negative effect come the general election)

[Vinca]

46. I wouldn't mind seeing that at all. Although I'm supporting Obama,

I would gleefully cast a ballot for Edwards in the general.

[onehandle]

47. kick! nt

[Blue_In_AK]

50. It would certainly put a smile on MY face...

Here's hoping. :)

[rocktivity]

52. During the 1986 New York Mets-Boston Red Sox World Series

I fought back tears as I got up to change the channel before the Mets made the out which would end the final game. Then that fateful ground ball got through Bill Buckner's legs, and the winning runs scored. I didn't move a muscle: with my back still bent and my hand reaching for the TV knob, I thought, "This is terrible--I wanted the Mets to win so badly, I'm hallucinating." It wasn't until the third time they ran the replay that I felt safe jumping up and down! Well, that's the exact same feeling I had on Iowa night.

My prediction had been along the lines of Hillary 35, Obama 32, Edwards 30. As luck would have it, I couldn't watch all the coverage due to a last-minute issue I had to deal with. The first time I tuned in, 25% of the precincts were in, and it was an even three-way split. "Told you so," I thought smugly, "NOBODY is going to run away with this."

The second time I tuned in, there was a big 38 on the screen. "Hillary got THAT much?" I thought. It took a few seconds for my mind to process it, but I was so expecting to see Hillary's name and pic next to that 38 it took a couple of second to realize they were Obama's! I was shocked--SHOCKED, but there was more to come. I looked down to the pic and name below Obama's...and THEY weren't Hillary's, either! I couldn't believe it, but I absolutely loved the prospect of the MSM and pollsters trying to explain it all to us.

I swore off polls immediately, and it paid off immediately. I ignored all the hype about Hillary being dead and Obama winning by nearly ten in NH, so the results were less of a shock. But I'll definitely have another "Mets '68 moment" it the NH recount makes Obama the winner!

:headbang:
rocknation

[redqueen]

53. It sure would!

:yourock:

[FlyingSquirrel]

54. I've seen a headline already saying "Does Nevada Matter?"

But the conclusion was that it is becoming a more meaningful caucus... However I can just see the press spinning it the other way around if Edwards wins.

:grr:
