Edwards Supporters....If he endorses Hillary, will you be happy?

[elizm]

Just wondering what your feelings are about it all. Do you think she closely mirrors what he stands for?

[highflyingbird]

1. The answer to both questions is...

Yes.

[jsamuel]

2. Yes, not close but better than Obama.

[nonconformist]

3. Yes, I will.

Her policies on health care and trade most closely match Edwards, and I know that health care is a huge issue with him.

[readmoreoften]

4. I'd rather he not support anyone.

But I'd prefer he not support Obama.

[ronnykmarshall]

5. Oh course!

[jackson_dem]

6. Yes

He knows more than we do about the truth about both candidates. They are very similar. If he feels one is a bit better I respect his decision and will take that into account.

Why don't you ask if Edwardians would be happy with an Obama endorsement? Once again Obamites assume that Edwards "should" endorse him. Hillarites don't do this...

[goldcanyonaz]

14. There's a certain entitlement theme to to many of Obama's supporters.

[nonconformist]

25. I remember them calling for Edwards to drop, assuming all his support would go to Obama

I also remember some of the really vile things they said about him.

I will find that very hard to forget.

[elizm]

30. I've NEVER called for Edwards to drop out. nt

[Blue_In_AK]

7. It won't bother me any.

I really don't care that much who, or if, he endorses, but it wouldn't surprise me if he endorsed Hillary. She's not the Wicked Witch of the West.

[Blue_In_AK]

8. Dupe.

[Blue_In_AK]

9. Dupe.

What the hell's going on here anyway? I know I didn't say post three times.

[nonconformist]

16. I think DU has been hiccuping since last night

I had a 4 post dupe late last night myself.

[southern_dem]

10. He's free to endorse whichever

he wants or neither. Either way I've already made my choice and an endorsement won't change it. I'll still respect him no mater what.

[Snotcicles]

20. It's a tough call, he was the stand-alone candidate for me, the other two are just, ok. nt

[stevenleser]

11. Not really. Status Quo candidate vs Change

Edwards himself was the one who said it and those words had a big impact on who I decided to support in a post Edwards world. It would be hard to understand a reversal of that sentiment.

[Mark Twain Girl]

12. I'd prefer he support neither, but if he has to choose one

I prefer that he chooses the one who will give the most concrete concessions on an important issue like health care.

If that's Hillary Clinton, I'm fine with that. No matter who he chooses, my vote and my choice are my own, regardless.

Neither candidate mirrors what he stands for, but I would expect no less from him than a toughly negotiated fight. I will admire him all the more if he's willing to fight for his principles and get some kind of policy return.

[BlackVelvet04]

13. I will be

ecstatic.

[elizm]

15. I was asking Edwards supporters. nt

[BlackVelvet04]

19. I was an Edwards Supporter before he dropped out........n/t

[Mark Twain Girl]

21. Yes, you were --

:grouphug:

You said some great things when Edwards dropped out, to encourage us to keep fighting -- they helped during that time. I've admired your posts ever since.

[BlackVelvet04]

31. Thanks....

and I'm still sad Edwards dropped out.

[TexasObserver]

17. No. I will be unhappy and disappointed in him.

[Maddy McCall]

18. I'll be very happy.

He already said that her health care plan is the most similar to his.

That's a huge issue to me, so I'll be very satisfied if he endorses Hillary. And it looks like that's what's coming.

[PresidentObama]

22. Yes.

[asdjrocky]

23. Happy is not a word that Edwards Supporters use a lot lately.

[Snotcicles]

27. We sure don't. nt

[Firespirit]

I won't be happy, but I'll respect his opinion

Whatever he says, he'll be classier and more diplomatic about it than any idiot on DU has been.

[asdjrocky]

24. Happy is not a word that Edwards Supporters use a lot lately.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

26. You can say THAT again!!

:rofl:

After JE dropped, there was nobody remaining to really root for. DK gone, AG never there, we are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

[asdjrocky]

35. Oops, I think I did.

[Lord Helmet]

28. __

[LostInAnomie]

29. I would feel betrayed.

I didn't contribute my money and time to have him back the physical manifestation of what he was running against.

[Madam Mossfern]

32. No, I will not be happy and no she doesn't

[Madam Mossfern]

33. No, I will not be happy and no she doesn't

[Lord Helmet]

34. they both voted for the war

they both suck and shouldn't be president

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

36. Ridiculous.

If Edwards endorses someone that someone doesn't like, they won't follow.
Conversely, if he endorses someone that Edbots (:D) like, it'll just be a reaffirmation.

[ClericJohnPreston]

37. Anything

ANYTHING, is better than Obama. From his rabid and cultish supporters, to his invoking Reagan and throwing the liberal and left of the Party under the bus, I dislike Obama. Period. My vote is less Hillary than more ANTI-OBAMA. At least you know what you're getting with Hillary.

I don't choose candidates without LISTENING to their CONTENT. Obama mocks our reason by stringing together platitude after platitude, as empty as his suit!

[Az_lefty]

38. No not happy. He will lose my respect.
