John Edwards - Pro Obama; Elizabeth Edwards - Pro Clinton?
POSSIBLE DEMOCRATIC TICKET????
So, John Edwards finally threw his endorsement to Barack Obama yesterday. Perfectly timed to steal the thunder from Hillary Clinton’s mega huge winning margin in WV I’d say. Showboating his way in for a possible Democratic ticket in November, perhaps?
Mr. Edwards could potentially help Mr. Obama with that group. A Southerner, he had directed his candidacy at the same white and working class voters Mr. Obama is trying to woo.
“I’ll just point out the obvious,” Mr. Edwards told one audience when he was campaigning in Iowa last year. “In the last — can I do the math, 45, 50 years — what is it, the last two Democrats who actually got elected president? Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton. Both of them talk like I do.”
While John Edwards promises to help with the working class whites (you know, the ones that are bitter and clinging to their guns and religion), where is his wife, Elizabeth?
Missing from the event was Elizabeth Edwards, Mr. Edwards’s wife, who has been a passionate proponent of universal health care. The Edwardses were said to be split on the endorsement, with Mrs. Edwards said to favor Mrs. Clinton because of her preference for parts of the Clinton health care plan.
Mr. Obama, who accepted Mr. Edwards’s endorsement with praise for the speech and the man, also praised Mrs. Edwards and her commitment to health care. Asked if she would endorse him, he said, “I would not speak for Elizabeth.”
Wonder how this will effect the Edwards household…

Jenna Bush decided to stay true to her roots and declined a White House wedding, opting for a mere intimate family affair at the Crawford Ranch. It would have been an international extravaganza for sure at the WH. Kudos for them for wanting this day to be about them and family.
