Reply #2: I imagine that would depend on whether the person likes Edwards. [View All]

I don't. I had him as my last choice, Obama second to last, and Clinton a little above that. So, Obama choosing the one candidate I disliked and distrusted more than him wouldn't make me more likely to vote for him.

Then again, he doesn't need to worry about my vote. I won't vote for McCain, and though I despise Obama, I still won't vote for McCain. Nor will I be a chicken-shit and vote for a third candidate or stay home. I'll vote straight ticket, probably, so I won't have to actually put my mark by his name.

Obama needs to worry about someone who will attract moderate and conservative independents, not Clinton supporters. Of course, Obama will shift back to the right for the GE, so maybe that's not what he needs to strengthen. I wonder how many of his supporters will scream "betrayal!" when he does that.
