Scheduling Conflicts Halt Obama Meeting

The following article, The Edwards Primary, stated that it was a scheduling conflict as Obama's reason for not meeting with John yesterday. With that settled, it still doesn't calm the wonder that many of us have on who John is or is not going to endorse. I think if Obama meets John before March 4th, we may hear something before this date. Why? Texas and Ohio. Some big number delegate grabbing states. Much of the behind the scene chatter is stating that Clinton needs John's nod more than Obama because of his momentum. However, John may not be comfortable endorsing the "status quo" -- the very type he fought throughout his entire campaign. So why not the automatic win for Obama? I think because John is human. He doesn't want to be hasty. He wants to be fair. He heard what Clinton had to say.... hopefully he will hear what Obama has to say.... and then he will make (or not make) the difficult decision where not everyone is going to be happy. In such a historical election, he is in a rough spot. Some pundits say it doesn't matter what John Edwards thinks.... I disagree.... there are almost 500,000 of us who potentially could make or break the nomination and the general election. In a country where voter turnout isn't known to be good but has improved this election cycle, we Edwards Democrats still have a voice and I believe we can still make a difference. John's decision could make the difference of who's campaign will ride the wave to the nomination or shipwreck before the convention.
