If you are an Ursinus student that is a follower of John Edwards, pay attention because his endorsement is critical for the Democratic nomination and the future of whom will face off against John McCain, Republican nominee, for the next President of the United States.
With John Edwards now out of the race for the Democratic primaries, the decision of who to endorse will be a crucial element to both Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton’s campaigns.
Although Edwards’ decision is very much so up in the air as to who he will endorse, if Edwards decides to go ahead and support Clinton and gear his followers towards her campaign, he would be going against his word throughout his entire campaign trail and prove to be quite hypocritical.
Directly calling Clinton out in a speech last summer in New Hampshire, Edwards accused Clinton of being a “corporate Democrat willing to benefit from the crooked politics of Washington.”
Tuggelin Yourgrau, President of Powder House Productions, feels that “Edwards addresses the needs of poor Americans and pushes the idea of putting them on the agenda.
Edwards is one whom has the support of the “undecided working class families and progressive liberals,” followed Yourgrau.
Say Edwards finally makes up his mind and chooses a candidate to endorse…
Well, what do I get out it?
With what is probably in bold writing in his contract with the nominee, this essential question may very well be pondered in the mind of John Edwards upon agreeing to help endorse another for the Democratic nominati
on.What can the remaining nominees offer John Edwards for his endorsement?
John Edwards could possibly decide to support the man who he approvingly claims to be advocating change, but if for some reason he decides to bring his followers to the Clinton campaign to achieve a political role such as Attorney General for the Democratic administration or an opportunity to getting a step closer towards becoming a member of the Supreme Court, Edwards would be nothing more than a politician upholds the reputation of one who will say and do anything to achieve what is in his own best interest and disregarding the citizens who have supported him throughout his campaign.
With O’Bama standing for a major change and Clinton being one who, according to Edwards, in a debate before his infamous New Hampshire speech last summer, is “aligned with the forces of status quo dead-set on blocking change in Washington,” it may seem preposterous to see Edwards endorse Clinton but it may very well happen.
Either way, Edwards will be comfortable when endorsing the candidate his chooses to endorse.
Students should realize that even if Edwards decides to support Clinton, he will have no problem arguing that Clinton would be a better president than John McCain, in the case that Hilary Clinton receives the Democratic Nominee because of where they fall on the political spectrum.
Bottom line, Obama and Clinton need to start becoming very friendly with Mr. Edwards.
