Rough transcript of Edwards speech praising Hillary...
During the course of this presidential campaign I have gotten to know the candidates very well. We have all been out speaking about the issues near and dear to our heartsI want to take a minute to say something about your friend and mine Hillary Clintonin the past few weeks I have gotten to know Sen. clinton very wellwe have talked about the things we care about and you all care aboutshe believes america can be a better place and we need change. I wanna tell you I know this is hard to understand sometimes. It is very hard to get up every day and do what she has done. When the odds turn against you, what she has shown is strength and character. What drives her is what each and everyone of us should care about A woman made of steel. She is a leader not because of her husband but what she has done for standing up and speaking up when this nomination battle is over and it will be over soon, brothers and sisters.
We must come together as democrats and stand up together and we are a stronger party because hillary clinton is a democrat we are going to have a stronger presidential nominee in the fall because of her work.
Now what brought us here?"
John Edwards, with those words praising Hillary Clinton, turned to his endorsement of Barack Obama for President of the United States of America.
I watched John Edwards' speech on CNN and it was astounding. Edwards is the great moral conscience of America...And Lou Dobbs is a complete asshole. So there!
Oh yes....
"Edwards is the great moral conscience of America...And Lou Dobbs is a complete asshole."
This is an official endorsement of the above commentary.
That's pretty huge. Let's
That's pretty huge. Let's hope it starts the healing. And that we can elect one of these candidates in November.

Obama/Edwards '08
Almost sounds like a solution to our problems. Close enough for me.
