Holy Progressives Batman, it’s the DLC

It seems that Carolina’s fair-haired boy is starting to falter. According to the NYT OPINIONATOR’S opinion Senator Edwards is in danger of being marginalized before a primary vote is cast.

How poorly is John Edwards faring in his bid to become president of the United States? Writing on his personal blog, Marc Cooper, a contributing editor for The Nation, suggests that “the already sputtering Edwards’ campaign” hit “a definitive speed bump” yesterday when Edwards failed to win the endorsement of the Service Employees International Union. Cooper thinks “the much-coveted endorsement of Big Labor’s biggest union seemed to slip one notch closer toward never happening.”

Keep in mind that this is the NYT blog saying this, and they use The Nation and The Huffington Post as foundation to back up their thoughts. Apparently the country’s biggest union is just plain running scared, and does not want to get burned again “Howard Dean Style” by a candidate that has no legs or a broad appeal. Cooper summed it up this way…

SEIU officials are openly concerned that their once-favored Edwards is running a distant third in most national and state polls (with the exception of Iowa) and may no longer be a viable candidate, no matter how many union resources are poured into his campaign.....

It must be time to parade his wife (unfortunately, I add) in front of the sycophants in the MSM again?

In all honesty, his wife is a more honest and legitimate candidate for President than is Pony Boy.

It's become kinda sad that politicos base their viability on automatic endorsements from large faceless entities such as Unions (democrat) and Corporations (republican), rather than on their ideas as a candidate for political office in order to serve America as a whole

She certainly has more balls than he does!
