John Edwards Endorses Barack Obama

I don't understand why who receives the white or black vote is being so overstated or misrepresented! Obama has about 16.43 million votes and Clinton has 15.73 million a difference of over 700,000 votes. Less than 13% of the US population is African American. That means that out of all the votes given thus far during primaries/caucuses about 4 million were African America. If none went to Clinton then that means Obama has won at least 12 million non-African American votes or 44% of the non-African American vote. Doesn't that clearly mean he has a greater diversity of voters? Doesn't that mean he has a much wider base than she does? Can we STOP making it sound as though Obama only wins because of African American votes! Why isn't the media saying that Hillary is losing because of her failure to gain a broader base that INCLUDES the African American voter?

John Edwards waited waaay too late to do this. Had he come out for Obama earlier it would have had more impact. (He was ghost during the North Carolina primary) Now that Obama has pretty much locked the nomination up Edwards seems like he's just jumping on the band-wagon. Political cowardice. Maybe that's why he's lost 2 consecutive White House bids.

I predicted that Senator Edwards would support Senator Obama weeks before he did. This will help Obama in his quest for rural, low wage voters. Senator Obama has a lot of choices for VP Gov. Richardson of New Mexico, Gov. Webb from Virginia and a Senator from Ohio. He needs all of them to work in their places for Obama and answer to criticism from his opponents.
