Good night - I need some rest or I will throw up.
It seems that pushing Edwards as VP means for some smashing Kerry. Nothing new, but somewhat too much for me tonight.

5. I see what you mean - the worst are locked
Here is at least one voice of sanity - Cali.

I think what it is is that there was a huge Edwards group here - and even though they migrated to Obama or HRC, except for a few, the endorsement brought out the "he should be VP" people, who were met by the "but he was the worst VP ever" people who were met by the Edwards apologists, who started his 2008 campaign by shifting all blame possible to Kerry - with the "he was afraid of Edwards' Charisma and hid him nonsense" - even though - after 3, I quit watching the JRE CSPAN or cable coverage because he said the same thing each and every day.

So, the endorsement leads to Edwards' praise which leads to VP suggestions which leads to edwards bashing which leads to Kerry bashing.

In fact, I think this is just the start of everyone coming behind Obama - an endorsement when he is at least 99% likely to be the candidate - hardly a risky move.
