your view:

Obama has shown that his campaign isn't foolish - look at where he recieved Edwards's endorsement.

my view

the timing of the Edwards endorsement was clearly designed to diminish HRC's victory--and its implications--in West Virginia, and to dismiss his own weaknesses. He attempts to link Edwards with the working class vote, as if it will magically give him that demographic, when Edwards actually does not give him that advantage.

I understand your point in the diary. I also understand that obama's "mission accomplished" statement is just one metric, an important one, in the nomination.  I will wait until the votes are cast at the convention, thank  you.
