Tucker: "Edwards Clearly Considering Backing Clinton." Anyone know why?

[wyldwolf]

[SoFlaJet]

1. Maybe because he's closer

ideologically TO Obama than he is to her-makes sense to this democrat

[neutron]

18. Because he knows who is going to Win

and he realizes Obama is to the right of Hillary

[jkshaw]

2. I don't know why

Tucker even opens his mouth on the air, either. Little twit never knows what he's talking about.

[maximusveritas]

3. Why wouldn't he?

It's clearly not an easy choice.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

4. Kerry's bullshit endorsement of O?

[maddiejoan]

5. I tend not to believe Tucker

even if I like the news.

[Occam Bandage]

Because if he wasn't "considering Clinton," he would have decided to endorse Obama?

Sentence works the same way backwards, too.

[aquart]

6. He's intelligent? Wait. Tucker? Bowtie Carlson?

NOTHING IS CLEAR TO TUCKER. Why would you even consider something he says?

[DJ13]

7. Several TV news shows are trying to paint Hillary as the best choice for Edwards

To be honest, it may be nothing more than wishful thinking as they're hoping to see Hillary regain momentum against the rising tide of Obama support by the Party.

Ratings need drama.

[OHdem10]

8. Clinton is much closer to Edwards philsophyically and

they attract the very same supporters.

[KennedyGuy]

9. Cause he can see through Obama?

[NightWatcher]

10. Edwards was a supporter of labor and (bill) Clinton passed NAFTA??

[BeyondGeography]

11. Because if it doesn't work out, he can always say he's sorry

[Snotcicles]

13. Creep.nt

[BeyondGeography]

28. Edwards?

[judaspriestess]

30. or push the wrong button

:eyes:

[tularetom]

12. Well if T*cker says it 134 people heard it

and it must be true. I don't know why Edwards would have to feel like he'd have to support either Clinton or Obama right now.

On the other hand the longer he waits to endorse anyone the less relevant his endorsement will be.

But Tucker said it? Gimme a break. Who gives a shit.

[democrat2thecore]

14. If Edwards endorses Hillary it will prove he was a rhetorical fake

Seriously. On so many issues, Hillary is clearly NOT the candidate of "the middle class."

[UALRBSofL]

15. If Edwards endorses Hillary

It means there will be a bunch of sour grapes from the Obama supporters, and, save the rhetoric.

[democrat2thecore]

19. Seriously

Edwards war on corporations, etc. His rhetoric during this campaign was hard hitting and seemed genuine. Remember, Only ONE of the two remaining candidates was a board member for WAL-MART! (Of all companies). Only ONE was a supporter of NAFTA. On and on it goes. If Edwards endorses Hillary - it will look like political expediency and disavow much of his campaign talk. That's not sour grapes - that's just the truth!

[Yael]

25. I agree with you.

Lobbyist monies, NAFTA, status quo -- not to mention, "this is personal, not political or academic".

[Jane Austin]

16. He had an Edwards spokeswoman on yesterday, and she kept drawing the

similarities between Edwards's and Clinton's positions.

[bidenista]

17. wouldn't trust tucker as a source

Not exactly renowned for his political scoops. Still, glad he's dropped the bowtie.

[UALRBSofL]

24. "Not trusting" is an understatement

He just seems to make up stuff about the democrats as he goes along.

[joeybee12]

20. Pretty much no MSM pundit has a good track record on predicting

stuff like this...I'd like it to happen, but who knows???

[Yael]

21. He is just parroting the talking heads that keep saying that JRE supporters

are poor, white and stupid and will flock to Hillary like sheep.

*yawn*

[Barack_America]

22. More importantly, why would Tucker Carlson know what Edwards is thinking?

He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that Edwards or any of his advisers would be chummy with.

[Tennessee Gal]

23. Tucker is a doofus.

Move along.

[underpants]

31. Exactly-the corporate MSM is trying to declare this over and get to Hillary vs. McCain

Not that Barrack is a radical in anyway. Hillary is a known.

[bigdarryl]

26. Bill Reilly said the same thing on his show yesterday SAYING

he thinks Hillary has promised him a job in her Administration wasn't it rumored that Obama was thinking of giving Edwards the Attorney General job.

[UALRBSofL]

27. Who believes anything "Kill O'Reily" says

:)

[Jack Bone]

29. John's words..you make up your own mind about "endorsement"

John Edwards: In His Own Words
http://blog.johnedwards.com/story/2008/1/30/141643/656

Last year ago, around the sixth anniversary of 9/11, a leading presidential candidate held a fundraiser that was billed as a Homeland Security themed event in Washington, D.C. targeted to homeland security lobbyists and contractors for $1000 a plate. These lobbyists, for the price of a ticket, would get a special "treat"--the opportunity to participate in small, hour long breakout sessions with key Democratic lawmakers, many of whom chair important sub committees of homeland security committee. That candidate was Senator Clinton.

Today, Hillary Clinton has taken more money from Washington lobbyists than any candidate from either party - Democratic or Republican.

She has taken more money from the defense industry, more money from Wall Street than any other candidate from either party as well.

We have a duty-- a duty to end this.

I believe you cannot be for change and take money from the lobbyists who prevent change. You cannot take on the entrenched interests in Washington if you choose to defend the broken system. It will not work.

I have learned there are much more important things in life than winning elections at the cost of selling your soul.

It's time to tell the truth. And the truth is the system in Washington is corrupt. It is rigged by the powerful special interests to benefit they very few at the expense of the many.

And as a result, the American people have lost faith in our broken system in Washington, and believe it no longer works for ordinary Americans. They're right.

If protecting the current established structure in Washington is in your interest, then I am not your candidate.

This corruption did not begin yesterday-- and it did not even begin with George Bush-- it has been building for decades-- until it now threatens literally the life of our democracy.

Down one path, we trade corporate Democrats for corporate Republicans; our cronies for their cronies; one political dynasty for another dynasty; and all we are left with is a Democratic version of the Republican corruption machine.

And Americans are kept in the dark because the corporate lobbyists have pushed back country of origin labeling laws again and again.

Senator Clinton's road to the middle class takes a major detour right through the deep canyon of corporate lobbyists and the hidden bidding of K Street in Washington-- and history tells us that when that bus stops there it is the middle class that loses.

We can liberate our government from the shackles of corporate money that bind it to corporate will, and restore the voices of our people to its halls.

It is incredible what America has accomplished. Because no matter what extraordinary challenges we have been faced with, we did exactly what America has always done in our history-- we rose to the challenge
