Where is Elizabeth Edwards?
She's apparently not at the Obama rally with John. I wonder who she supports?

29. She voted for her, get over it.
Edited on Wed May-14-08 07:09 PM by Boz
She can be her own person. She doesnt have to support her husbands choices.

34. Get over what? There's nothing at issue.
I don't care who she voted for. What in the world makes you think I do?

35. Was a response to the thread not to you.
People seem to be bent that she has a different opinion.

I am an Obama supporter but don't ascribe to the Obama is the ONLY decision for everyone.

3. It's been pretty clear for a while that she supports Hillary
Hints have been getting dropped for months now. That's the only reason I can think of for Edwards not endorsing Obama sooner.

4. She may not have agreed with the timing of the endorsement
This knocks Hill completely off the news cycle!

19. Last time I saw her on TV, maybe a week or so ago,
her face was really puffy. Looked like she was taking a steroid med.

My husband has to do that now and then, and his face does the same thing.

Like maybe she doesn't endorse Obama. I wonder? :shrug:

11. I'm sure she has good reason...
I hope she is ok. She may not have felt up to the trip. I don't think there's much need to read anything into her absence.

15. Because she's not there doesn't necessarily mean she doesn't agree with John's endorsement of Obama.

18. Where was Richardson's wife or Dodds'?
I don't believe I've ever seen a married couple endorsing someone especially when only one is actually in politics. Why would she be there.

20. She doesn't support BO, and per CBSNews, doesn't care for John's endorsement.
A lot of others feel the same way.

22. She prefers HRCs Healthcare plan. She has stated over and over again that
She would be fine with either democrat in the White House.

Her trumpet cause, is however, healthcare - and to that, she has openly yielded to Hillary.

21. Don't they have two school-aged kids?
Do you pull them out of school to fly 2-3 states away for a 10 minute speech?

She hasn't endorsed anyone, but again she isn't a super delegate either. She is a class act woman that I am proud to know is in the same party I am in.

25. Who cared for the kids while she and John campaigned?
She could give her endorsement to the press. If she doesn't, her silence speaks volumes.

This is the way it's done.

37. Elizabeth has many ardent followers and admirers
I'm sure they are interested in her choice for president. She's never been shy about sharing her opinions before.
