I figured he’d stick around and play king-maker (or queen-maker) at the convention, but I suppose that doing that isn’t worth months of humiliating defeats and time spent away from family.
A lot of pundits are saying his supporters are more likely to support Obama. I wish I could be that sure.
All I know is that I wish he’d come right out and endorse Obama, but he’s apparently not endorsing anyone yet. That disappoints me. An endorsement before Super Tuesday would go a long way to driving a stake through the heart of the Clinton Restoration.
But then again, I’m disappointed that Gore hasn’t endorsed Obama, either.
I can still hope, I guess.
Well, A Song of Ice and Fire teaches us that those who play kingmaker only tend to make out slightly better than the kings themselves. As a student of GRR Martin, then, I’m therefore glad that Edwards has decided to limit his role in the Game of Thrones before it’s too late. :)
Well, on the plus side, Rudy’s dropping out so he can spend more time with 9-11.
The story I read implied that he was holding his endorsement and delegates “hostage” to see which candidate best caters to his focus-on-the-poor platform.
I’m personally just thrilled that the Kennedy clan is endorsing Obama. That was a pleasant shocker.
