I am a doctor and former Edwards supporter. In medicine, we think in terms of end points (prevent heart attack not just lower lipids..) and universal health care and reducing poverty were the endpoints most important to me. I am now supporting Senator Clinton, in part, because she comes much closer on these two issues. I can tell from Obama’s plan and comments that he does not fully understand the issues involved in health care reform. I am disappointed that he is setting the bar too low and fear that may undermine efforts to get it if he is elected. I am not convinced the “yes we can” candidate believes we can do this.
Senator Obama has taken oodles of money from special interests, such as the nuclear power industry, and he has given more money to super delegates than she. I see him, both in how he got to this point, and in his negative tone when discussing his opponant, as pretty much “Washington politics as usual” .
Still, He also has many good qualities, and I will support him fully if he is our nominee. Even though she is my prefered choice, I would like to see Edwards speak to the good qualities of both candidates, the differences he sees, and then release his delegates to vote as they choose at the convention. (No, I am not a delegate). I think we need some healing to start sooner than later. Let everyone vote and hopefully, there will be a majority and a candidate we can start to rally behind in June. The ultimate end pont is to beat McCain in November.

Well… I’m not going to pass judgement on him quite yet. If he wishes to remain on the sidelines and let Obama and Clinton duke it out, I can respect that, but yeah, it’s hard not to call him a hypocrite and a traitor if he does endorse Hillary.

If Edwards backs ‘Billary’ he will the biggest turncoat since Benedict Arnold. Furthermore, I will hold him in the deepest contempt. He will prove that in the end, all his words for “change” was just an “easy promise” after all. Is Edwards trying to “rent the Lincoln bedroom” by backing ‘Billary’? Hmmm. Maybe Edwards contradicted himself, maybe the vice-presidency is for sale to the ugliest traitor.

Looks like he is a hypocrite. That’s too bad, I thought he had more integrity than that. Oh well, just another candidate for the humorous yet true, http://www.hypocrisy.com.
