Who will John Edwards endorse: Obama or Hillary? Predictions here.

[Colobo]

And why?

[nonconformist]

1. I think he'll endorse Hillary.

Her policies most closely match his own.

[NastyRiffraff]

3. Uh oh!

Watch heads exploding on DU if he does.

[Kittycat]

5. But her actions do not.

[joshcryer]

9. Which actions? Senatorial? They seemed to vote the same way to me!

:shrug:

[rwheeler31]

6. This is a tough one?

[ProSense]

10. "Her policies most closely match his own." What nonsense

The Edwards aide added that Obama's lack of a health care plan with a "mandate" is a "tough hurdle for him to get over." He added, however, that Edwards is much more in line with Obama on other issues.

Edwards wasn't even running the same type of campaign as Hillary's.

2. I doubt he'll endorse before the convention

unless either Clinton or Obama drop out before then.

[NoodleyAppendage]

4. Obama. Because endorsing Hillary would make him a massive hypocrite.

Edwards railed against Clinton for months during the early primaries, rightfully pointing out that she was a corporate shill and DINO/DLC faux democrat. If he endorses her tomorrow it will be a complete 180 degrees from what he's been preaching against for the past year...and I will lose all respect for him.

11. In the last debates he was in he spent more time calling Obama on his crap than Hillary.

Their Immigration, Iraq, and Health Care plans are essentially the same.

[NoodleyAppendage]

15. Keep on smoking the kind my friend...misty dreams of Clintonite grandeur and delusion.

From day one Edwards was evicerating Clinton. Also, it helps my case that Edward's wife has intimated that she supports Obama.

7. I honestly could not care less.

And I don't think it matters. People with a lot more political currency than JE have already endorsed both of the candidates, and it doesn't seem to matter much. I don't see why his opinion would. Especially when it has been so coy. We've already seen him try to glom on to the coattails of Obama (in NH) and then Clinton (in NV). I think he should sit this one out.

[saltpoint]

8. He may assess their chances at the nomination and then ask each what

kind of America they will lead as regards wage-earners, the health of unions, significant and meaningful health care reform, and initiatives regarding bolstering the homeless generally and homeless veterans especially.

I think he'll listen very carefully, then decide.

[orleans]

12. i bet he endorses hillary but he should endorse obama

just from my perspective, obviously
i have thought edwards will view hillary as the winner and want a place somewhere within the admin.

but perhaps his views are closer to obamas

at least this is what i've thought lately--if hillary is no longer ahead he might have second thoughts, therefore i would need to rethink this--which i don't want to deal with

i do know that kucinich said he probably will NOT endorse either one. he was on randi's show last week and said that.

[maximusveritas]

13. Based on where his prominent advisors and supporters have gone

you'd have to think he will endorse Obama. But it looks like he's giving both of them a fair shot at the endorsement. That's what I would hope at least.

[Colobo]

16. I wish he endorses Obama but something tells me he won't.

[Tom Joad]

14. I think he will wait, then endorse the frontrunner. more likely obama

[Colobo]

17. Hopefully you're right!

[DB1]

18. It seems like most of Edwards WA State supporters went to Obama.....

and I think Edwards is in touch with what is going on, at some point within 2 weeks he will support Obama. IMHO

[JanusAscending]

19. I'm praying that he will endorse Obama,

because........I want to see Obama make him the Attorney General. He's the only one that will bring the evils of the present cabal to JUSTICE !!

[MadBadger]

20. Obama

Most of his supporters are going to Obama, including those who endorsed him. Not to mention there is that whole status quo vs change thing.

[PresidentObama]

21. Hillary. Her healthcare plan mirrors his, and her policies would benefit the middle class.

Not only that, but like Edwards...she is talking in depth about the issues and offering real solutions to the problems we face.

Clinton/Edwards anyone? Or President Clinton with Attorney General Edwards?

[emilyg]

22. I like the sound of that.

[cali]

23. He'll endorse Clinton

People forget that Obama is the reason his campaign failed. Had Obama not entered the race, it would likely have been Hillary and JE as the anti-Hillary. I think he's always resented that, and I don't think he'd be human if he didn't. Let's face it, most of Hillary's and Barack's policies are similar. I predict that Edwards endorsement of Hillary will be as much slam against Obama as anything and that he'll endorse her this evening in Virginia.

[ButterflyBlood]

24. Obama.

The debates often consisted of him and Obama tag-teaming against Hillary.

[Ichingcarpenter]

25. She is the major financial winner of the Military Industrial Complex out

of all candidates be it republican or democratic and that in itself is evil.

Edwards Knows Better.

[BringBigDogBack]

26. my thoughts as well
