Posted Feb. 20, 2008 – Could former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards (D) be ready to endorse Sen. Barack Obama? I spoke with Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) earlier today and he told me, “I know them both well, and their good friends, the issue isn’t if he’s going to do it, it’s when.”
Conyers the dean of the Congressional Black Caucus signed on early to support the freshman senator’s run for the White House.
Conyers told me, he hopes it happens before March 4, “For two reasons – Ohio and Texas.”
Do you think an Edwards endorsement would help Obama?

OK this has nothing to do with McCain, so what are we going to do about Bill O’Reilly’s comment on lynching Michelle Obama
Here is the exact quote
“O’REILLY: You know, I have a lot of sympathy for Michelle Obama, for Bill Clinton, for all of these people. Bill Clinton, I have sympathy for him, because they’re thrown into a hopper where everybody is waiting for them to make a mistake, so that they can just go and bludgeon them. And, you know, Bill Clinton and I don’t agree on a lot of things, and I think I’ve made that clear over the years, but he’s trying to stick up for his wife, and every time the guy turns around, there’s another demagogue or another ideologue in his face trying to humiliate him because they’re rooting for Obama.
That’s wrong. And I don’t want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there’s evidence, hard facts, that say this is how the woman really feels. If that’s how she really feels — that America is a bad country or a flawed nation, whatever — then that’s legit. We’ll track it down. ”
UNLESS???? OK Al now are we going to call for his head?
bill o’reilly is rooting for hillary. and we should lynch oreilly
this has nothing to do with mccain or michelle. so…
i think it would help obama only because it would put him in the news. i think most of edwards’ supporters had moved on to new candidates anyhow. edwards is not a significant enough figure to really matter as far as an endorsement goes.
kelly,
I know you are trying to help but let that story go, we don’t want to focus on the past but today – if we do the republicans will do the same thing and that will not help the cause.
OK so I have heard nothing about O’Reilly talking about lynching Michelle Obama…..nothing on the radio, tv, etc….Am I missing something here? Ofcourse nothing on BET
Of course, any endorsement from superdelegates will help. Edwards’ influence will also help Obama; but the truth is that Obama has been doing well by himself. I am so proud of him and proud of my people for believing in his message.
This is the first time I am learning about Bill O’Rilley’s comments… It’s worth exploring and if that is the case, ACTION should be taken by the media.
Bill O’Reilly appears to be a (KKK Member) wearing a suit and tie in the day time for public viewing only. Key words are important in the (KKK Vocabulary) and the word (Lynching) is one of them. Unity is what we need! ~ Yes, John Edwards endorsement would be helpful and welcome for Obama. I would have voted for Edwards if Obama was not qualify. Obama For President!!! ~~~ Drevelyn M. Minor ~ Dallas, Texas
The “REAL” Democratic Party Dream Ticket for middle class america is Obama/Edward!
This will of course make a difference, not from the point of view of a great boost in delegates. But more from a credible message view point. Edwards has been the biggest proponent of poverty reduction and equality and this means a lot in the states of Texas and Ohio (particularly Ohio). Clinton has been trying to get to the same base and if Edwards endorses Obama in the next few days, it will propel the last few blue-collared workers in the Clinton camp towards Obama.
I think that it is good that John Edwards would want to endorse Obama because not only his vote, but his influence could be the deciding factor on Obama being our next democratic nominee….I dislike Bill O’Reily more than the next person, but I have to stick up for him a little bit..just like we have been voicing our opinions, that’s all he was doing. That’s why you haven’t heard it on the news, cause it’s not that serious!!Although it was a bad analogy he is just saying that Bill Clinton is being criticize for everything that comes out of his mouth (for good reason)for campaigning and sticking up for his wife, when Michelle Obama has been doing the same thing for her husband with no real bad publicity like Clinton has had.. In short, uneless there is incriminating evidence don’t be pissed off just because he’s passionate about supporting his wife!!!
Shay did you miss the two key words here…lynching and unless? I won’t go on a lynching party on Michelle Obama…UNLESS….
OK…it’s not that serious????
Nice try in starting a rumor … Hillary has the Edwards endorsement.
and … the dream ticket is Hillary / Barack.
!
KELIN,
i think this is similar to michelle’s unfortunate choice of words. people in public just have to think more before they speak.
are we really afraid that o’reilly is going to go lynch michelle obama? these are not surprising words, it’s o’reilly up to his same old stuff.
HILLARY 2008

This is where our society has become jaded to the N-word, Lynching, and a dozen other things. No we are not afraid of O’Reilly lynching Michell Obama but should we be concerned that this word is thrown around freely lately as it relates to African Americans….Tiger Woods, Jenna 6, now Michelle Obama. Whether her choice of words were good or bad…is irrelevant…
The word lyching is what it is….so if you or anyone else is ok with it being spoken, then at what point does it become ok that it is done to people.
WORDS are the most POWERFUL weapon in the EARTH.
With the Teamsters endorsement, which should solidify the Midwest morer. The huge African American population in the South, the Edwards endorsement would be beneficial yet not mandatory for success for Obama. Edwards endorsement would be a great solidarity gesture, moreover for a candidate needing the lower socialeconomic class southern vote. Obama will have the Southern vote regardless because of the demographics in the rural and urban southern populations as well as the upper class educated voters in the larger southern suburbs like Houston, Dallas,Potomac regions, and Miami. THis election with come down to 2 main issues in a General Election: Economy and Foreign Policy.
Look for increase troubles or perceived ones at the very least with Iran and Pakistan. Also watch out for the Balkans as well, with the recognition of Kosovo. It could upset the stability of that region.
In addition the increase news of the economic downturn. Fed predicted higher unemployment and continuing housing problems will be key to all Americans.
McCain will use these issues to push his case for Commander and Chief. Obama will push that Change is needed, for what we did in the past in regards to these fail policies has gotten us into this situation in the first place.
As for Obama and Clinton remaining battles, Edward;s endorsement here or there will have little impact now. …IT all Comes to Texas and Ohio.Particularly Texas which is a very large,different, and complex make up. Very urban yet rural populations. 2 of the nations top 5 cities sit there. Very conservative in East Texas, yet very Liberal in Central Texas near Austin.
I think the winning key to Obama victory will be his domination in Houston and Dallas, as well as the split of the two other Million plus population cities Austin and San Antonio. With the twice voting system (primary and caucus) that day, Hillary’s supporters mostly rural and more economically challenged voters in South,West, and East Texas, it maybe harder for them to get the voter polling stations twice that day.
It would be a true dream team if Barack Obama chose John Edwards as his VP. That’s Change we can believe in!!!
Dont be surprised in an Obama/Colin Powell or Michael Bloomberg ticket…dont laugh. You heard it hear first.
Yet first things first thats close out Ohio and Texas. It is a battle here.
