    Well this will make the caucus less interesting. I suspect a deal will emerge since Obama will get a boost on super dooper Tuesday.

    Not a rumor it seems, currently live on MSNBC.

    My curse continues – whoever I support during the primaries never seems to make it to the end. I knew he’d never win, but it didn’t make me any less hopeful. :(

    The “endorse Obama” part seems to have been rumor. The TV pundits just vamp and make stuff up in the absence of news…

    But Edwards drop will probably help Obama anyway unless HRC can turn him or keep him from endorsing before Tue.

    It certainly buggers my plan to be uncommitted…

    I second the “oh no!” I actually expected Hill and Barack to destroy each other and John to prevail. I was right about the first two. Did anyone watch? Was Elizabeth with him? His ideas have had a definite influence on the campaign and the DemocratIC Party — and that will continue. I’ve always been disappointed that he, too, speaks of universal health INSURANCE rather than universal health CARE. (There’s a huge difference and inflated prices won’t stop as long as we support insurance. Johnny, we knew you too well! And we’ll miss you. I’m keeping the bumper sticker! :-)

    I am genuinely disappointed. i had hoped that Edwards would realize he had nothing to lose by really speaking his mind and that his inclusion in the debates would finally move this out of political rhetoric and into the exchange of actual policy ideas.

    I don’t think anyone wins on this one… except perhaps his family.

    I am so sorry. I don’t think narrowing the field at this point is a good thing.
