Hi Everyone!!
Coming to you from the great state of Idaho just hours after the South Carolina primary has concluded.
Judging from the primary and caucus results thus far this year, it may be a 'brokered' convention in August and quite an exciting time in our history between now and then - this is for sure!!
Don't give up on John Edwards as he is NOT giving up on YOU!!
I can't stress this enough - this race is not over for John Edwards. Not by a long shot. It continues to be a 3-person race and highly likely all the way up until August.
This is why...
To continue a bit from the other blog I just posted earlier tonight, people have to understand that if John continues to get over 10% of the total votes in each state (tonight so far at 99% precincts reporting he has 18%) and neither of the two other candidates gets over 50%, throughout the voting process, by the time August rolls around it will be very tough to determine the winner of the democratic nomination.
Sooooooooo what this COULD mean is....is that one of the other two candidates (and you know who these people are) 'may' attempt to encourage John in some fashion for his delegates. And John would obviously get something in return.
THIS could be any number of choice positions....VP (that is...VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES), a cabinet member position, etc. And, a cabinet member position is no position to sneeze at...it could be one of a whole host of very hugely powerful positions within the government (Just remember all the news stories with Bush and all of his cabinet members and what influence they have had on our government??? ..Well maybe you don't want to remember that - because it will play out VERY DIFFERENTLY this next term!) - i.e., White House Chief of Staff, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, Secretary of Treasury - the list goes on and on. Just basically, all those positions you saw played out on The West Wing TV series!! :)
It was stated tonight on MSNBC by the editor of Newsweek that he had received word tonight that after last Saturday's interesting dem debate in SC that the Clinton camp HAS already contacted the Edwards campaign to 'inquire' on delegate transfer. And it's been said that the Obama campaign has stated that they don't want to start talking about that yet BUT will face that if the time comes.
And what's truly remarkable is that this kind of race HAS NOT occurred since 1980 - since Kennedy had delegates to share with Jimmy Carter! Ever since then it has been a 2-person race almost from the start of the pre-convention campaign season! Until now!!! It's famed history in the making folks!
This shows both campaigns are worried about Edwards. And with good reason. He could even still take a huge enough chunk of the delegates away from their campaigns and WIN THE NOMINATION. I'm just sayin...
This is why John Edwards got on camera tonight and said HE IS NOT GIVING UP - HE WILL SEE THIS THROUGH UNTIL AUGUST 28TH, where anything goes.
What an exciting time to be an American.
Have a great night!

It's very exciting to be an American indeed. I can't vote yet (only 16) but this is the first time I feel that I have the power to determine our future by influencing who should be president- I got my mom, brother, and aunt all to vote for Edwards.
