31. there isn't going to be a brokered convention
That doesn't happen anymore, and it sure isn't going to happen as some method to carry all edwards voters over to obama. That's just too poisonous, none of the candidates would allow it to happen. No matter what people try to say to will Edwards to continue only to serve as a spoiler, this alternate reality that somehow at the convention if Hillary is leading in delegates the Democratic machine would allow pooling of Obama and Edwards is pure fantasy.

I'll say it again, it pisses people off but a vote for Edwards is a vote for Clinton. We finally began to hear that a bit on Hardball today. It is time for a reality check. Edwards can either stay in and hope for a Obama or Clinton implosion, or he can avoid the appearance of selfishness and recognize the position he's putting voters in who largely do not like Clinton as their second choice amongst the top three and end his campaign.
