Political Teaser [Edwards/Dean Arranging NYC Endorsement Meeting this Weekend]

CNN 'Morning Grind' ^ | Feb. 19, 2004 | John Mercurio

[rintense]

Talk about strange bedfellows! These two couldn't be further apart on the liberal spectrum. I'm highly suspect.

UMMMM I heard in the NY papers only Edwards is coming to NYC for 5 days. I believe the NYC papers know more than CNN. THIS IS WHAT THE MEDIA WANTS NOT WHAT DEAN WANTS. Dean is headed back to Vermont I believe. I believe CNN is being hopeful again. Dean is going to endorse the winner. The media is playing this stupid game again.

[bootyist-monk]

Yes. But who will Al Gore, or Tom Harkin, or Bill Bradley support? King makers all.

[#3Fan]

It's Dean's revenge against the Dems and the media for politically assassinating him.

[chucknun]

Dean's ego is so huge anything could be in the ballpark.

But the Gore stump speech for Edwards in Idaho at the last minute is telling, didn't Algore endorse Dr. Dimented?

[Steve_Seattle]

I think Edwards would be a more formidable opponent, by far. If he inherits Dean's delegates, that tightens the race, and a good day on super Tuesday could put Edwards right up with Kerry. This ain't over yet.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

What is IWR?

[chucknun]

And Edwards could concievably go after Wes Clark's delegates as well.

I believe his superdelegates are not pledged to any particular candidate.

[hobson]

Iraq War Resolution.

Edwards in NYC for five days will give him a chance, no doubt, to cruise by the fat boy's Harlem office...maybe even have a smooze session in Chappaqua (if x42 is home). Edwards' phone has been on speed dial to the demsgod ever since he began his campaign.

I heard Elizabeth Edwards (wife) tell Norville last night that her hubby first got the idea of running for President after algore considered him for the vp spot. So it's all Algore's fault! LOL

[sarasota]

algore=kiss of death.

[areafiftyone]

He sure did. Well we will see. Kerry hasn't really campigned in New York yet. He better get here soon because Edwards may just trump him here. The liberal Democreeps in New York City are very gullible. Look how they voted for Hillary. I think Dean is letting Kerry and Edwards stew right now (he's playing it smart). This gives him power. If he endorses either one that puts him out of the picture too quickly. Dean is too egotistical to be put out of the picture by Kerry or Edwards. He is holding alot of cards right now and Kerry and Edwards want those cards. THE MEDIA WANTS DEAN TO ENDORSE EDWARDS SO BADLY. The media believes if they put that idea out enough times it will somehow come true. I guess they believe in the power of suggestion.

[areafiftyone]

campigned=campaigned

[chucknun]

If Edwards can pick off significant delegates in NY & Ohio and Florida, Kerry will not have this thing sown up at all, not by a longshot..

[GottaLuvAkitas1]

This election year has been the most interesting one I can remember in my 37 years. These guys are shooting eachother and themselves daily! LOL
I find myself wanting smack Kerry so much that I have to go to the gym to work it off.
Edwards is much more likable & clean, and I would worry more if he were nominated.

When I get worked up over something the media reports I remind myself that they have NOT been right even once since this thing began and I relax about the race. (But I get upset about the media bias) LOL

Well, my point is that we still have a long way to go and as long as we work hard TOGETHER to re-elect Bush then it should be a piece of cake, but if we turn this into the FREAK SHOW the DemoHacks have so far then we are doomed.

[barkingdog]

I've got it. John, and Howie, along with Ralph Nader as Sec of defence. Al Franken, Sec of state, and Jeneane Garofalo as political advisor. How great is this! We could have our convention in San Francisco. I'm in, for sure dude.

[TomGuy]

Could be bad news for both Kerry and GWB if Dean throws his support to Edwards in a big way.

[chucknun]

The Kerry people said they did opponent research on Edwards at the same time they were doing Dean, and they haven't used what they've got on Edwards yet.

[OldFriend]

Meaningless. My guess is that Trippi long ago purloined the donor lists and sent them on to Kerry.

Grossman, long time friend of Kerry who was Dean's money guy has also gone over to Kerry.

Will Dean figure out he was sucker punched by his 'friends'.

[AmishDude]

Didn't you realize that the beverage guru Paris Hilton says, in her new book, that diet drinks are for fat people?

Well, not all of us can be poster children for the Robert Downey, Jr. diet.
