"John Edwards ran a campaign focused on fulfilling a promise to America's working families that they could once again trust their leaders to put them first. As I look at the presidential race as it stands today, I see one candidate who has proven he can bring the kind of change to Washington that will mean more jobs, better pay for American workers, and health care for every single American. That candidate is Barack Obama.

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

This is good.

i wonder what the rules about Edward's delegates is.

But, never mind that, the DNC doesn't abide by rules anyway (see what they are doing with Michigan's delegates).

Edwards delegates are up to Edwards, and the delegates themselves - in some states they can, and have switched, here in Hawaii I suspect Obama will end up with over 80% of the delegates (he won 76% of the vote)

possible, but he's been one before, and Obama might want someone from Penn or Cal to help get those states

I hope so.

I think Edwards would help bring those voters in.

I did see a report, and video footage, that he voted for Obama, but the interview, from this morning seemed a bit unclear whether he was truly stating that he had voted for him - so I didn't seed it, at least until it can be confirmed.
