John Edwards caved to the Democratic party elite in 2004 to become number two on a failed ticket. Now John Kerry did the party’s bidding again by endorsing Barack Obama. Essentially the same story was posted here yesterday and things haven’t changed. Reports are out today that the D for ‘duh’ party may have soured on the Clintons. What was the first clue? Iowa was the proof for the Dems elite. If HRC could not sweep through the first two contests, Obama would get the nod from the party.

Perhaps Edwards feels used after the 04 race. He has no one but himself to blame. He caved to party politics and got what he deserved. Or was he silly enough to think that number two on a Kerry ticket guaranteed him the spot in four or eight years? Doesn’t matter. He was working Iowa since 04 and only took 2nd cuz Obama was in the race. And 2nd was virtually a tie with Clinton so he really got nothing from Iowa.

John Edwards: Spoiler, Surrogate or Surprise?
“I want to be absolutely clear to all of you who have been devoted to this cause,” he told supporters in New Hampshire last Tuesday night, “and I want to be clear to the 99 percent of Americans who have not yet had the chance to have their voices heard, that I am in this race to the convention, that I intend to be the nominee of my party.”
