    but Obama  has shot himself in the foot with the universal healthcare issue which was key for Edwards.   So I'm not sure anymore. If Edwards could bargain with Clinton to put more of his policies in play he might actually go for her. But who knows....

      on Obama's health care framing.  But Obama is way closer to Edwards vis a vis who should be running the Democratic party.

      I'll be really disappointed if Edwards supports Clinton.

        to consider. But to tell you the truth, I really don't care who gets it anymore. Clinton or Obama. I don't myself believe that Obama is that different than Clinton. They're both a little too timid and too friendly with republicans. So whatever.

      •  Which is the problem... (0+ / 0-)

        Obama will look like an  idiot, doing an about face on mandates. I don't think he's going to risk that. So he's pretty locked on in on his UHC position, in the end affects how the thing gets done in  congress. Clinton is right in sense that you go in the most, not the less.

        My essential problem with Obama is that he really does not know how to bargain. He SUCKS at it. He low balls everything, and the people will pay for that in the end.

      cast my lot with HRC at our MN caucus, but I felt like I was walking into a Jr. High School pep rally, with every square inch of every wall of every hall in the school where the caucus was held covered with Obama signs.
      I wanted to vote for Edwards, but was alone in my precinct, and it truly would have been wasted.
      At least with HRC, I know steps will be taken toward UHC.
