Reply #1: I don't see it [View All]

Not only did he not endorse for over 3 months, he occasionally said negative things during that period. not to mention, Elizabeth Edwards blatantly lied about obama's health care plan on the eve of the Iowa caucus saying it would not have covered her - and has been overtly on HRC's side. (This would be ok, but why the revisionist history of saying that even before she had cancer her perspective that universal healthcare was needed influenced Edwards when he created his plan. in fact, Edwards had one of the weakest 2004 plans covering kids only and he attacked Kerry in 2004 saying his plan was too expensive.

Edwards himself was honest enough to not see himself in that role. The fact that he proudly described to the NYT how he wouldn't use Kerry's 'help is on the way' slogan shows an inability to see that he was wrong there. He owed Kerry at least that much once he signed on as vp. Do you think he would follow obama's lead? Kerry was older, senior and more experienced than he was - even after he pulled out of the race, he spoke of Obama not having the experience needed - though Edwards himself had no more real experience. (just as people have said the bad things HRC has said could be used - so can the Edwards things.)

Obama was around in 2004, i assume he had a front row seat in seeing how Edwards performed as VP. Why should he be better 4 years later?
