Edwards joins Obama supporters in new anti-war effort

Former presidential candidate John Edwards (D-N.C.), whose endorsement is sought by Democratic presidential rivals Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) and Barack Obama (Ill.), will join several groups that have endorsed Obama in a new effort to end the Iraq war.

Edwards will appear on a Monday morning conference call with officials from the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and MoveOn.org, which have both endorsed Obama. Edwards has yet to make an endorsement since he left the presidential race in January after placing third in several early primaries.

Edwards, his wife, Elizabeth, and other members of the effort will announce a "multimillion dollar" effort called the Iraq/Recession Campaign that aims to highlight the ongoing cost of the Iraq war, according to a press release. The group is attempting to tie the Iraq war to fears that the U.S. is entering a recession........

5. Misleading headline. These groups SEIU were EDWARDS supporters till EDWARDS suspended.

Do not DARE imply that Edwards has endorsed Obama because it isn't true nor is it likely to be. This is being "spun", unlike other articles on this event because this is yet another magnificent Edwards effort to make change that has nothing whatsoever to do with Obama.

7. Guess where I found this article ---with this title --- the Ohio for John Edwards website

It's in the "Latest JRE News" section.
I'm not "implying" anything.

9. Here's your quote:

"Do not DARE imply that Edwards has endorsed Obama because it isn't true nor is it likely to be."

I did no such thing. I posted the link to an article I found on the "Ohio for John Edwards" website. Nothing sinister going on here, I assure you. I'm thrilled about this new, important initiative, and I hope you are, too.

10. Opps!Sorry.Rage not directed at you but at the author of the title.!

I am thrilled with John's efforts but not so thrilled at how some, not you, are inserting Obam's name into these efforts.
