Iowa's First Lady To Back Edwards For President [Mari Culver]
John Edwards 2008 website ^ | December 16, 2007 | Tony Leys, Des Moines Register

Posted on 12/17/2007 9:29:20 PM PST by SunkenCiv

Iowa's first lady, who had said she would stay neutral in the presidential race, has changed her mind and plans to endorse Democrat John Edwards Monday... Culver said her husband, Gov. Chet Culver, will not endorse anyone, and she said her stance does not imply that he supports Edwards... Mari Culver's predecessor as first lady, Christie Vilsack, endorsed Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry before the 2004 caucuses, which he won... Edwards, who also ran for president that year, said in an interview today that he believes Vilsack's endorsement helped Kerry... Edwards said he hopes Culver's backing will help him the same way... Culver, who like Edwards is an attorney, said she met him at a conference in 2001 and was immediately impressed by his intellect and accomplishments as a trial lawyer and as a U.S. senator from North Carolina. She said she agrees with his plans to fight poverty and to reform health care, and she thinks he offers Democrats the best chance to take back the White House... News of her pending endorsement came on the same day Edwards lost out in the competition for The Des Moines Register's endorsement. The paper's editorial page backed him in 2004, but picked Hillary Clinton today... [Edwards] said he believed the main reason he did not receive the editorial board's endorsement was a philosophical difference over the best way to produce change. He has promised to fight corporate powers that he sees as corrupt, while other candidates have talked more about working with interested parties to fix problems.

“Who’s John Edwards?”

He is the only man between Obama and the nomination. If Edwards gets out, Obama jumps way ahead of Hillary, and stays there, barring some huge mistake or scandal. Edwards and Obama are splitting the “anybody but Hillary vote” in the Dem camp. Add Edwards’ 12% to Obama, and it’s buh-bye, Hildabeast.

Edwards may emerge as the Dhimmicrat nominee, in which case this move will look pretty smart. :’)

Mrs. Culvers endorsement means the world to me. I’m now for Edwards.
Wait a moment, I think I just saw a pig fly by.
