I don't understand why the Obamaites want Edwards to drop out of the race so bad

[mtnsnake]

Even if he throws his support behind Obama, who the hell is going to be that attack dog that goes after Hillary during the campaign and in the debates? Obama by himself? I don't think so. Edwards was the only one who was half-way effective in attacking Hillary. I can't imagine Obama going up against the Goddess of Peace, one on one, all by his lonesome. The poor guy won't know what hit him.

Y'all should be praying that Edwards stays in the race for the duration, just to help Obama deal with Hillary, if not for anything else. :smoke:

(Oh, and congrats to the true Obama supporters for his victory in SC)

1. I don't want Edwards to drop out. I want him to stay in.

Edwards did well. I want to see the final #'s for second place.

[TwilightZone]

2. They should hope that he stays in as long as possible.

He's helping split the white vote.

[dkf]

3. Who wants Edwards to drop out?

Haven't seen much on that one lately.

[mtnsnake]

16. Lots of them. If I had known anyone would ask who, I would've kept track

but there have been lots. I think there's even been threads about wanting Edwards to drop out so Obama can have his supporters and all that kind of jargon.

[LordJFT]

4. Well I have a natural sefish desire to see him drop out and endorse obamq

but I'd rather him stay in the race than drop with no endorsement

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. Maybe they are afraid of Edwards?

:evilgrin:

[Barack_America]

6. I never said I want Edwards to drop out. He has every right to be there. n/t

[babylonsister]

7. Who said that? I want him to stay in as long as he feels HE wants to.

And every time I see that particular graphic, I know what kind of mood you're in. This is your 'stir-it-up' mode, no?

[DB1]

8. I don't want JE to drop out, I support Obama, make the nominee earn it.

[fooj]

9. Guess Obama didn't get the memo...

Martin Luther King III wrote Edwards a letter ENCOURAGING him to remain in the race.

[Connie_Corleone]

10. I don't want him to drop out.

There might be a few Obama supporters who are saying that, but it's not ALL of us.

[totodeinhere]

11. One school of thought is that...

Edwards is splitting the anti Clinton vote with Obama. If Edwards dropped out, then Obama would get all of the anti Clinton vote.

[jackson_dem]

21. That was debunked by a recent poll which showed most Edwards supporters prefer Hill over Obama

[totodeinhere]

25. Since New Hampshire we have learned not to trust polls.

[Tulkas]

12. we want to take her and her husband on 1 on 1... err 1 on 2

Edwards was born in S.C. he won't get the same numbers in other states

[FrenchieCat]

13. I've not wanted Edwards out.

I just thinks folks are tired of seeing his name on the ballot and he doesn't seem to win.....I think that is why he can't break through.

Personally, I believe that he helps Obama!

[book_worm]

14. What Obama voters said that?

[mtnsnake]

18. Funny how everyone's memory is going blank. lol

[Colobo]

15. Edwards is a great candidate. I will respect any decision he takes.

[mtnsnake]

22. Same here. He's earned it the right to make any decision he feels is best for him.

[stillcool]

17. I want Hillary to drop out...

Edwards and Obama are class acts. I'd vote for either one, but more importantly I could really go for a debate between the two. Hillary is a side show.

[mtnsnake]

20. I want her to drop in. Dam she's pretty

[jackson_dem]

23. Especially for her age

Hillary was very hot when she was young.

[BringBigDogBack]

19. Alot of us don't.

Pretty broad brush-stroke, dontcha think?

[patrice]

24. I fear Obama has more than his share of trolls.

All of that cross-over stuff has some, not all, downside you know.
