What evidence is there that Edwards supporters would flock to Obama if Edwards dropped out?
Let's play the funeral dirges for another myth, once again promoted against Edwards by the folks who claim to be running a positive, hopeful, and clean campaign.

The keyword: evidence.

The second logical question is if it is so precious to have only one strong candidate stand against Hillary why did Obama decide to run at the last minute in the first place? Without him it would be Edwards vs. Hillary. Karma sucks?

17. Scientific? Like the "evidence" Obamites have used to continue to attack Edwards?
You want scientific? How about a LA Times Bloomberg poll?

23. Look I don't claim to know the truth....
but I can identify bad talking points. If you have an LA times poll great. Like I said I don't claim to know nor think it really matters.

14. I'm still trying to
figure out what the major differences are between Obama and Hillary with regards to the issues. I've always liked Hillary Clinton, but for some reason the Obama "magic" hasn't rubbed off on me. That's not to say I dislike him. I just don't feel as if I know him as well as I do Hillary.

Whatever. I'm still 100% behind John Edwards. I know where he stands.

18. Remember it was Obama's netroots cronies who swiftboated Edwards
If any Edwardian is undecided about their second choice don't forget to factor this in.
