The TIMING of John Edwards’ endorsement of Barack Obama really does sort of deal a death blow to Clinton’s campaign. Edwards waited for his moment, didn’t he? Was this his plan all along? To step forward at the critical moment, when his announcement would be most likely to put an end to HIllary’s nonsense, since he must have seen along ago that she’d never withdraw reasonably? He’s like secret weapon, finally unveiled.
I almost feel sorry for Clinton. She was really trying to make her West Virginia win yesterday seem like momentum. She was REALLY working it, working hard. And Edwards just wipes it out. Yes, actually he did (sorry Clinton supporters, but not really).
This is a great time. We must enjoy it. How much good news have we had in the past 10 years? I commit to resisting every natural instinct I have and allowing myself to feel optimistic about the 2008 presidential election!
Are we really going to do this?
