Democratic Idol
Up until an hour or so ago, the biggest news of the day was Hillary's blow-out win in West Virginia, which makes Edwards' endorsement of Obama quite a timely one. Edwards is one of the last truly big names in the Democratic party with a large support base to endorse, and this now becomes the dominant story for the news cycle, which blunts the West Virginia results.
As to Hillary herself, kudos for this:
Hillary Clinton on Wednesday reiterated her vow to stay in the Democratic presidential race, but she said it would be a "terrible mistake" for her supporters to vote for John McCain over Barack Obama.
"Anybody who has ever voted for me or voted for Barack has much more in common in terms of what we want to see happen in our country and in the world with the other than they do with John McCain," Clinton said on CNN's "The Situation Room."
"I'm going to work my heart out for whoever our nominee is. Obviously, I'm still hoping to be that nominee, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that anyone who supported me ... understands what a grave error it would be not to vote for Sen. Obama."
Reading the comments here, or pretty much anything here, (this post as example), Hillary's going to have to say that over and over again so that it sinks in.
All and all, a good day for Obama, with the exception that he deserves a good slap upside the head for this dumb-ass comment. Seriously, outside of Michelle, never use the term "sweetie" to refer to any grown woman, ever.
