Why won't Edwards publicly endorse Obama ?

[RethugAssKicker]

He's already said that it is impossible for Hilary to win.

So, WTF won't he just help end this BS !

[BOSSHOG]

1. Because he's a southern white guy?

[Egnever]

5. Could be

Personally I think his wife wears the pants in that family and she wants a woman and the "hillary version" of universal health care.

11. "Wears the pants in the family?"

That's a progressive attitude.

14. Expressed a great deal towards both Edwards and Kucinich

Who knew that was considered appropriate? I guess it's only good to have a strong, independent, intelligent and opinionated wife if she is married to the guy you happen to support. :shrug:

[Egnever]

17. Absolutely not

I have no problem with Strong independent women, Hell I married one. That doesn't mean there aren't dominant submissive relationships in the world and I happen to think the Edwards fit that model. I am willing to call it whatever you want but the fact remains thats how I think their relationship works.

Theres absolutely nothing wrong with it either if I am right. Peoples relationships are their own it is not for me to dictate how they chose to live.

2. maybe he's saving it for a not so great news day for Obama, like tomorrow

[AllentownJake]

3. Because his wife likes Hillary

:shrug:

[Egnever]

7. Thats what I think too

[helderheid]

4. He will.

[MercutioATC]

6. I think he wants to use the endorsement to get some of his issues into the GE campaign.

It's smart politics.

[SammyWinstonJack]

8. Why should he?

[SurfingAtWork]

9. He is hedging his bet in the .00001 chance that there is a brokered convention

And it would be close enough for his delegates to make a difference.

[K Gardner]

10. Out of respect for Elizabeth, whom he loves more than anything.. :-)

[krawhitham]

12. He is still hopping to get something for his endorsement

[ecstatic]

13. his refusal to take a stand confirms my worst

fears about him.

[quantass]

15. The big reason is FAME. After he endorses he is a nobody.

[krawhitham]

20. I thought he was that now

[crankychatter]

16. The cause is more important than his endorsement... if Clinton pulls it off some weird way... then..

She isn't livid with him... so the cause can go forward regarding poverty...

it's simple....

he's alright with me...

[onehandle]

18. He said that his endorsement isn't going to help anyone much.

Why do some people keep wanting to frame Edwards as a bad guy?

[DearAbby]

19. His endorsement one way or the other

wouldn't effect me or my decision. He has his reasons, I respect that.
