Why doesn't Obama drop out so his supporters can back Edwards?

[lame54]

:popcorn:

[gateley]

1. You're cute. nt

[Vincardog]

32. He should after HRC drops out and throws her support to Edwards.

Then we can start to support REAL change

[MadBadger]

2. I'm sorry there are soo many people suggesting that Edwards should drop out

I disagree because he continues to help my candidate in the South.

[cboy4]

23. LOL...I've been under the assumption you were being a

good sport with your position about how Edwards shouldn't give up and drop out.

Turns out, you just want to use Edwards and his supporters for your gain. :eyes:

[MadBadger]

28. Even If i didnt have something to gain, I think its rude the way people say Edwards should drop out

I just wouldnt say anything. But the truth is, I think Obama does have something to gain with Edwards still in it.

[Tulkas]

3. why didn't American Motors buy Chrysler instead of the other way around?

[mac56]

4. What a great idea!

After all, it's all about unity, right?!

[NoBorders]

5. Shut yer

beak-er. :-)

If EVERYONE else does I will. I have no problem with an Edwards presidency.

[lame54]

50. Then vote for him

[Beaverhausen]

6. I agree. If he did, then we wouldn't be stuck with the Clintons!

[thunder rising]

7. Hey Lame going for 3 "deleted by moderator" tonight

[lame54]

9. are you following me?

[AlCzervik]

8. it's a fair question.

and why do people think that JE should drop out so Obama can have his voters, why can't Obama get them on his own?

[NJSecularist]

10. Why doesn't Edwards win a state first?

Before we say Obama should drop out?

Why doesn't Edwards not come in 3rd place in his home state before we say that Obama should drop out?

[jackson_dem]

12. The unity of the "anti-Hillary" vote is precious, right?

[jackson_dem]

11. Why did Obama run? If he didn't there would be only one strong candidate against Hillary

Obama doesn't give a fuck about the "anti-Hillary" vote his supporters have become obsessed with ever since New Hampshire.

[Triana]

13. Bwah! *snicker*

:popcorn:

[tritsofme]

14. Obama is a viable candidate with a path to the nomination.

Edwards is a has-been that has failed to win a single state thus far and likely won't.

[NJSecularist]

21. Very true

It's just amazing to me how Edwards supporters don't see this.

Obama has a clear path to the nomination. He's a very viable candidate.

I have a better chance of having sexual relations with Jessica Alba than Edwards getting the nomination.

[BlackVelvet04]

45. Don't forget your condom. n/t

[jackson_dem]

27. Is Obama a viable candidate against the rethugs? He should move over for someone who can win

:crazy:

[NJSecularist]

30. Edwards needs to win a few states

before one can even ponder the fact whether he could beat a Republican in the general election.

He certainly couldn't beat Cheney in the VP debates. He got dominated.

[jackson_dem]

37. Michael Dukakis won a lot of primaries. How'd he do in the general?

[NJSecularist]

About the same as Edwards will do

We have two candidates who are better than Dukakis right now. Nominating Edwards would be like giving the election to the repugs. He has a loyal following, but not much beyond that.

[Guaranteed]

15. Welllll....because Obama's winning.

LOL

If the reverse was true, I'd be calling on Obama to drop out and throw his support to Edwards.

[lame54]

18. and again you would be wrong

[Guaranteed]

20. I'd be wrong then? You're asking for Obama to drop out when

he's WINNING.

:silly:

[lame54]

24. I'll let someone who gets it come to my defense on this one

[Guaranteed]

26. Oh, well, if you didn't mean it, it sounds like you already knew the

answer to your question.

[Beaverhausen]

29. It isn't up to Obama or Edwards to decide who we vote for

it isn't up to anyone else who we vote for. Nor is it up to you to decide who stays in the race and who leaves. Get it now?

[Guaranteed]

33. Gee, so I can't just grab the ballots myself and start crossing Edwards' name off?

Damn.

Can I still just give my opinion and try to influence people to do the right thing, though?

[Beaverhausen]

35. No, and no

:hi:

[Guaranteed]

36. Sorry, the correct answer is "No and yes" nt

[Beaverhausen]

38. No, because we need the progressive ideas Edwards has to stay in the campaign

no one should drop out because he or she thinks it will cause this or that person to win or lose.

[DJ13]

16. Um.......

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

22. um no it's not, there are threads a plenty advocating JE drops out.

it's a fair question.

[tnlefty]

17. !!!

I was wondering when one of these would pop up! :thumbsup: Too late for me 'cause I've already voted for Edwards. :rofl:

[Sarah Ibarruri]

19. I'm for Edwards. I wish all other candidates, including GOPers, would drop out. ;-)

But that's not going to happen is it?

[FogerRox]

25. Got some popcorn ?

[TheDonkey]

31. He's won a state

I get your point but Edwards has yet to win a state and has now come in consistently low in 3rd place.

[lame54]

34. a simple "I get your point" would have sufficed...

[Seabiscuit]

39. Hell Yeah! LOL. Really why not?

How's it going Lame54. :hi:

[LWolf]

40. Great idea.

I'll second that. Or third it. Or bring an extra firehose.

I haven't read the rest of the responses. ;)

[onehandle]

41. Makes sense to me. nt

[JosephSchmo]

42. Obama has a chance at winning. Edwards does not.

Sorry, at this point the best that can happen is Obama over Clinton.

[Beaverhausen]

43. Note to newbies: if there is popcorn in the OP, it's probably satire, sarcasm or a joke

:hi:

[NastyRiffraff]

44. I am laughing my ass off!

I always suspected some Obama supporters took themselves way too seriously, but this thread proves it!

Oh noooooooooooo! This is an attack on Saint Barack!!! :sarcasm:

[Catherine Vincent]

46. LOL!

Good one! :thumbsup:

[LittleBlue]

47. There is a difference: Obama actually wins and gets turnout

Why should a winner concede to a person seemingly incapable of winning?

[NastyRiffraff]

49. Hmmm....

Still doesn't get it. That's okay. :eyes:

[LiberalHeart]

48. Don't be silly. Obama should stay in -- and name Rezko his running mate.

[JuniperLea]

51. Rimshot!!!

:rofl:

[Nimrod2005]

52. Ok, on Monday
