This is why Obama is BRILLIANT (Timing of Edwards Endorsement) [View All]

It makes me laugh to hear all of the Clinton supporters who think that Obama just tripped & landed in the position of running for President. "Because he's black".. "Because he gives good speeches".. "Because he appeals to youngins".

Nope - it's because he's BRILLIANT. He's known for weeks that he would get creamed in WV. Instead of spending time or money worrying about it.. he strategically campaigns where it makes the most sense, and where he can get the most bang for his buck.

Ohh - and when Edwards called him sometime last week or the week before (It certainly wasn't in the last day or two) to tell him he's finally decided to endorse him - Obama's team was very smart. They knew they'd be pounded in WV... what better way to change the front page of the news then to have one of the biggest endorsements of the year waiting in the wings?

I think Obama's very smart.. smart enough to beat the Repugs in November. This is just another example of the strategy people he seems to surround himself with.
