John and Elizabeth Edwards is on Obama's front page! (Large picture)

John Edwards has spent a lifetime fighting to give voice to the voiceless and hope to the struggling, even when it wasn’t popular to do or covered in the news. At a time when our politics is too focused on who’s up and who’s down, he made a nation focus again on who matters – the New Orleans child without a home, the West Virginia miner without a job, the families who live in that other America that is not seen or heard or talked about by our leaders in Washington. John and Elizabeth Edwards have always believed deeply that we can change this – that two Americas can become one, and that our country can rally around this common purpose. So while his campaign may end today, the cause of their lives endures for all of us who still believe that we can achieve that dream of one America.

6. Quote
Hillary Clinton:

http://www.hillaryclinton.com/blog/view/?id=31856

"John Edwards ended his campaign today in the same way he started it - by standing with the people who are too often left behind and nearly always left out of our national debate.

John ran with compassion and conviction and lifted this campaign with his deep concern for the daily lives of the American people. That is what this election is about - it's about our people. And John is one of the greatest champions the American people could ask for.

I wish John and Elizabeth all the best. They have my great personal respect and gratitude. And I know they will continue to fight passionately for the country and the people they love so deeply."

10. An error of omission on your part?
By making it sound like it was ONLY on Obama's site--same effect.

5. Giving John and Elizabeth their due
Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 09:19 PM by avaistheone1
Thank you, Obama. I want to recognize you and your campaign's graciousness and smarts in recognizing the Edwards' contribution to America as well as to the Democratic party and campaign.

Obama also gave a wonderful tribute to the Edwards at the beginning of his speech today.

That was very touching and moving to this Edwards supporter.

11. Sounds like they're both courting him...
...if not for VP, then perhaps for some other post in their administration. That sounds more cynical than I intended; nice to see they're both acknowledging his contribution to the campaign. That's classy all the way around.

12. They aren't courting him
They are courting his supporters.

15. I DO hope this is with John's permission.
Otherwise, it is a shameless ploy.

16. He's really trying to suck up to John cause he has popular vote but not electoral vote- suddenly
he's talking about the forgotten poor

I will continue to vote for John Edwards on Feb 5 Super Tuesday
to give John Edwards the power of delegates to force the dem platform
to incorporate John's programs and platform

Sucking up is nice, putting it in writing is better
