Edwards Supporting Obama-No Profile In Courage

In what has to be the most ignoble endorsement of this political season, the former Democrat senator from North Carolina, John Pretty Boy Edwards officially endorsed Sen. Barack for the Democrat presidential nomination http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/politics/20080514-1559-obama-edwards.html.
Why so soon?
I mean, it is really needed now that the primary season is near an end and it has become very apparent that Sen. Barack needs help with the bitter people, life those West Virginia voters that should have sent him a message.
So, Sen. Barack can say, see, Pretty Boy Edwards supports me. He buys into the One America screed. And, for his support, why I may give him another shot to lose the vice-presidency.
Remember, this Pretty Boy Edwards is the one who, as Sen. John Kerry's running mate in 2004, told a group that, by golly, if you vote for Sen. Kerry, he will approve federal funding of stem cell research and someone who was injured like the late actor Christopher Reeve would walk again.
SAY HALLELUJAH!
Also, it was Pretty Boy Edwards who tried the use the lesbian daughter of Vice-President Cheney, Mary Cheney, as a campaign issue. You know, because she is a lesbian and the issue of same-sex marriage came up.
Let us run down the political success of Pretty Boy Edwards.
In 1998, he managed to buy himself a senate seat in North Carolina. He barely won that seat. He had what can only be said a lackluster one term as senator from North Carolina. For you see, he knew that he could not win another term running for reelection from North Carolina.
In the infamous wisdom of the Kerry campaign, they really thought that this loser was going to possibly pull in some Southern states. Not only did Pretty Boy Edwards fail to bring in any solid South state, it turns out that he did not improve the Democrat percentage one bit. It was the same as in 2000, with Al Gore and Joe Lieberman the Democrat ticket.
So, why does any one really think the Pretty Boy Edwards endorsement makes a difference? This man, Pretty Boy, thought that being the vice-presidential nominee gave him an inside track to the Democrat nomination. Someone forgot to tell him about that other senator from New York, Hillary Clinton. She thought she should have the nomination. Pretty Boy's wisdom did not get him past South Carolina, his home state.
Maybe it is that seven percent that Pretty Boy garnered for just being on the West Virginia ballot. Well, it would not have changed St. Hillary's 67% win. If you add the seven percent to Sen. Barack's pathetic 27%, it would give the Illinois Solon 34%. WOW!
No, while the DDBMSM is gleaming from this that Sen. Barack may offer the vice-presidential nomination to Pretty Boy Edwards, I do not see the pluses. I see that Sen. Barack will have given up on the South. I do not think that one who ran to the left and still maintains the tired "two Americas" rhetoric is going to inspire the kind of voters that Sen. Barack needs. You know, the bitter, white, gun-totting, church-going people. You know, all those Democrats that voted for that famous populist, St. Hillary.
If Pretty Boy Edwards endorsement really mattered, he could have used it before Pennsylvania. Or maybe Ohio and Texas.
At the end of the day, all Pretty Boy Edwards did was what many a Republican did. Wait to see how it would all shake out and then endorse the winner. A profile of courage, indeed!
