Clinton people will give support to Biden, Richardon in some precincts to make them viable
This prevents them from splitting supporters among Edwards and Obama and giving them an advantage by being unviable.

1. Is anyone surprised?
That the Clinton Campaign would stoop so low?

6. Keeping them viable when they really don't have enough supporters to be viable
just to try to stop Obama from beating her.

7. It's called strategy. There's nothing dirty about it.

9. Yep, so Richardson can keep saving the "damsel in distress" in debates
This is like tag-team wrestling ... yikes.

14. This could be nothing more than the OP's opinion.
I see no link or reporting about it.

16. It's called "the caucus"
this goes on in political party caucuses every year, everywhere. ALL candidates and their supporters do it.

2. Biden and Richardson supporters may reject that and still go to Obama.

5. This is what I mean by the game playing

12. Makes it all seem like "Survivor" not picking a president ...
I agree with Edwards more and more - the SYSTEM needs to be changed; we don't just need a candidate who can play the "game" better than the others.
