Obama's "Scandal" is going to hurt Edwards
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 12:01 PM by itsrobert
I would hope that supporters of Obama seeing the light would go to Edwards. But after being snake bitten, they may just go to Hillary because despite all the scandals she's been through she is still standing. Edwards might be too much of an "unknown" with his squeaky clean image. Obama supporters probably don't want to take a chance on going through disappointment again. Likewise, some undecideds might choose Hillary for the same reason.

3. I think it's hard to say.
I can't really see too many of Obama's people moving over to Hillary, but I'm sure some will. Basically at this point it's a guessing game.

I just think people are getting sick of all the crap going back and forth between the two. If they want to represent change to the American people, they sure aren't showing it by their actions.

Edwards is representing the "grown up" side of the Democratic Party, as he said, and I think he's really the only one that can beat the GOP in the general.

4. Who knows...
wondering and speculating won't help anything. We need to phone bank and leaflet and talk to our friends, neighbors, and everyone else who will listen to us talk about him.

:)

Obama supports don't want no Walmart Queen
Being on the Board of Directors for Walmart is going to damage HRC.

7. Edwards has been vetted and never accused of being involved in a scandal
Edwards is the clean candidate.

9. what nonsense.
as of now, there is no Obama scandal at all. If one, emerges within the next week, I'll switch my support to Edwards, but the likelihood is very small that it will. And what will you do, if in the next week there's a scandal about Edwards? Who will you support.
