"It's hard to see a win for Sen. Clinton into March, into Ohio and Texas, which I think was what they're counting on," Trippi told CBS' "Face the Nation." "But even that's in jeopardy, I think, as Obama builds some momentum here."

A reason for all of us to keep spreading the hope. Yes, we can!

1. sounds like an Edwards endorsement is coming.... n/t

2. I never thought of that, ginnyinWI

But I know I was reading commments about from TPM's article about Edwards meeting with both Clinton (last week)and Obama (yesterday) and that he will be endorsing soon. Anyways, the comments from Edwards supporters implied that if JRE endorses Clinton, they're going to be quite, quite angry at him!

On the other hand, a plus side from him meeting with both of them, is that he might be able to push his agenda onto Obama or Clinton more than they'd take up without him. Obama is closer to Edward's philosophy but JRE might see it as a chance to push his issues harder.

Frankly, I see any push for policies I prefer as a plus.

But still...It might be fun to watch JRE's supporters go nuts if he endorses Hillary.

And if he endorses Hillary, then hopefully it means that she's going to move more to the 'left' on issues. That would be a good thing.

3. it'd be even more fun to see what they'd do if/when

he endorses Obama. There are a fair amount of Obama bashers from their camp, too. You know, the die-hards who still want to vote for Edwards.

4. I was (am) a JRE supporter and I might go nuts if he endorses

Hillary - that won't be funny for me.

This primary season I've supported Kucinich, Draft Gore, John Edwards, and now Barack Obama. All are good, none are perfect. What I've seen in each of them is a possibility of real change, a possibility that they will energize the people to make the tremendous changes we need to make quickly.

I hope JRE holds off on endorsing anyone until after tomorrow's primaries. The longer he waits to endorse, the more states Obama wins, the more likely it is that JRE will chose substantive change (Obama) instead of playing some strategy game (Clinton).
