John Edwards On Countdown: I Will Support The Democratic Nominee For President

[onehandle]

Olbermann: “…Are we at the state where it would help every candidate right now, all three of you in here at the top by saying you will support and you will encourage your supporters to support the Democratic nominee, no matter who it is, and that Senators Clinton and Obama should join you in saying so, maybe even before this vote is taken on Saturday?

Edwards:”Absolutely, I say that right now. You know, I intend to be the nominee so I’ll hope to get the support of Senator Obama and Senator Clinton’s supporters, but we should absolutely support the nominee.”

1. He's exactly right.

Perhaps we should follow his lead.

3. This is DU--don't hold your breath.

Many here are more than willing to bite off their nose to spite their face and feeling all noble about it. Then, if the Democrat loses, they will play all innocent about it and butter wouldn't melt in their mouth.

4. Oh, believe me, I'm not.

Personally, I hope that the "I won't vote for anyone but my candidate" garbage is just grandstanding and that people will rally behind the nominee when the time comes.

Not holding my breath on that, either.

10. He most certainly is. The more I listen to him, the more I am convinced Edwards is the best choice.

5. Grownup alert!

Wow, not one round of "Did not!" "Did too!" "Did not!" "Did too!" "Well, you're just a big doodyhead!" "I know you are, but what am I?"

A breath of fresh air.

14. How long since we've seen one of them?

Pretty much as long as I can remember. Isn't it sad how rare maturity is.

6. Thats what I plan to do............

those that don't well they might as well for for the repuke. I think we stand a better chance at improving some things with a Democrat.

7. I heard that

(I was making dinner at the time) Edwards sounded good in his interview.

8. Thank you KO

Edward's isn't going to get as much news coverage as he should but there is nothing stopping him from offering to come on any show that will have him. I don't care if he has to go on Springer or Judge Judy, just get his ass seen! His message does the rest.

9. Thanks onehandle that was great

I said it before and I'll say it again....He is Presidential!
If any of you have some free time before Saturday, Edwards could use some help on the phones for the South Carolina Primaries. I'm already set up to do a little dialing on Friday.

11. Watch to the End.

His comments on homeless vets are awesome (as is his de-facto smackdown of Bill o'Loofa)

12. That was More than Obama did!

could you believe that "I can get her voters , but she can't get mine?" What voting block was he referring to I wonder?


Sorry for the negativity!

Go John Go!

13. John Edwards, like most of us here, is a Democrat.....Thank God for people

of his quality. I'm proud to count myself as one of his supporters.
