I can't wait for one ex-friend in particular to flip out over this. She was hardcore Edwards, but thought for sure Edwards was supporting Clinton. Hee-hooooh!!!

two biggies today and two surprises for Clinton:

NARAL Endorses Obama -- Hillary Spokesperson Is "Surprised"


"They said the board decided to back Obama over Clinton because he is overwhelmingly favored to win the nomination and to heal what the organization viewed as a growing rift between black voters and white female activists that the protracted Clinton-Obama contest may have caused."

On the Hillary conference call, Hillary spokesperson was asked about NARAL's choice. "Surprised, would be my response," Wolfson said. "I think Senator Clinton's leadership on advocacy and choice issues is second to none."

And the Emily's List people don't like it, for sure. "It'll hurt Hillary's feelings...", etc.

I had pretty much the same argument with a friend! Except this guy's still a friend. dammit. I already hear people chattering about Obama/Edwards '08. Again. This is gonna give Hillary a migraine.

Edwards said recently that he does not want to run as VP ever again, so I think that's out. But he may have a cabinet position in mind. Maybe a new cabinet position both Hillary and Barack have talked about creating - one aimed at reducing poverty. Who knows what they'd call it.

They are furious and bitter.

How much could they have supported him to turn on him like they are?

I think there are quite a few former-Edwards-now-Hillary supporters who were sure Edwards was backing her who've gotten an unwelcome surprise today.

...Like the gang at Correntewire. I haven't gone over there to see how they're taking it. Those Hillary-worship sites creep me out.

They are a bit creepy...and even worse is when I see old familiar names over there screaming the F-word, cursing Edwards, and vowing to vote McCain over this.

And the hysteria over Obama mistakenly calling someone sweetie from people who are swearing to vote for a man who calls his wife a trollop and a c-word...it defies common sense.

We missed the sweetie business.  What happened?

I will say most of the Edwards supporters around here switched to Obama..Thank goodness.

Yup! And I'm delighted Edwards finally caught up with his supporters.
