Clinton Camp on Edwards Endorsement: 'It's Not Great News'

[RamboLiberal]

ABC News' Kate Snow Reports: "It's not great news," said a senior Clinton advisor of the news that former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., will break his neutrality and endorse Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in Michigan Wednesday night.

"Well, I don't think it's good news, but there's a lot of news in this business and we move forward and move past it," the Clinton advisor said.

Asked what effect the Edwards endorsement might have: "We don't know. We'll see. We'll see how much of it is transferable," referring to Edwards' popularity with white working class voters.

Clinton advisor Terry McAuliffe also addressed the endorsement during a quick media availability Wednesday evening outside of the Senator's house.

"I can't speak for why people endorse," said McAuliffe, adding, "the voters in West Virginia say it's not over."

1. Tough times for them. It's surely a downer, but that's politics.

At least they took it on the chin instead of trashing Edwards in some way.
