Edwards Pledged Delegate Endorses Obama
In a first indication of that John Edwards' endorsement of Barack Obama has carried some weight, an Edwards pledged delegate from New Hampshire has now announced his support for Obama, as well.
Edwards' pledged delegates are not required by the rules to follow his support for Obama, though as former activists for their candidate they would no doubt be influenced by his recommendation. Edwards has another 18 delegates up for grabs -- and if they mostly end up going for Obama, it would be enough to wipe out Hillary Clinton's gains from West Virginia.

Well, and today I am endorsing Barack Obama for President of the US (of the KKK of AAA!)
However, I hope that before the election he will tangibly and convincingly show the electorate just what his skills are. Something measureable. For example, in sports events like the javelin throw you can see visibly just how far Obama can chuck a javelin. I think that would be useful to know, don't you? Or more to the point, since he has no published scholarship, maybe his Columbia thesis would be interesting for a perusal, just to see how his thought process works, in something more substantial than a speech about hope or change or whatever. And perhaps we can move the discussion about race forward a step if Obama will release his SAT and LSAT scores, so we can see how little (or how much) he benefited from racially based preferences.
Today should be a proud day for the Obama campaign. I bet even Michelle can feel good about the US (of the KKK of AAA!), knowing her husband has my endorsement. : )

Wow, these are really clever, articulate criticisms of Barrack Obama. Thanks for elevating our political discourse!

I'm sure it must be difficult for you to have no source of pride other than the color of your skin, which, let's face it, is not a personal accomplishment but an accident of birth. Then again, I understand you're quite accomplished at serving up Slurpees, so there is that...

Which of course is even sadder knowing that "white" skin is simply a genetic mutation that broke off of darker completions thousands of years ago.

According to CNN last night, Bill Clinton was pretty busy on the phone last night and this morning with Edwards' pledged delegates telling them how wrong it would be to switch to Obama.
Wow, Hillary's pit bull is unleashed again. Does anyone have respect for Bill anymore??????
