DENVER (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton says John Edwards called her to let her know he was bowing out of the race for the White House.

Edwards' decision to drop out could be a boost to the New York senator. A recent Associated Press-Yahoo poll suggests four out of 10 Edwards supporters will switch over to the Clinton camp, compared to a quarter who say they prefer Barack Obama.

Both Clinton and Obama would welcome Edwards' backing and the support of the 56 delegates he has collected. But, Edwards has no immediate plans to endorse either of them.

Obama heaped praise on Edwards, saying he has "spent a lifetime fighting to give voice to the voiceless and hope to the struggling, even when it wasn't popular to do." Aides say Obama asked for Edwards' endorsement last night.

I haven't heard a statement from Edwards - and until I do, I won't believe it. There is absolutely no reason for him to drop out - not before Super Tuesday - not ever.

10. "...four out of 10 Edwards supporters will switch over to the Clinton camp...

...compared to a quarter who say they prefer Barack Obama." That's a joke, right?

Where are the other 3.5 out of 10 Edwards supporters switching to--McCain or Romney?

[noel711]

12. ...vote for Hillary Clinton..

Never. ever.

[blayne]

18. McCain would love your vote.

[BonnieJW]

11. Why wouldn't he wait for Super Tuesday????

I'm baffled by his decision. Just the other day he said he felt sucure that he would be president.

[noel711]

13. He telephoned Hillary...???

WTF!?!?!

In her dreams...

[blayne]

17. He telephoned both Hillary and Obama.

[ggeriak]

14. Edwards withdrawal

This heading is how rumors get started. Whoever posted this is an idiot!

15. I'm certain that he also called Barack Obama

Look everybody, Edwards called ME, ME, ME.


Hillary is trying to make it seem as if Edwards is her buddy buddy and wants those Edwards voters to come over to her side. She tries to make it seem as if she and Edwards are one and she is the only one Edwards called.

Nice try, but again it is just short of the tactics Bush uses with his obfuscation and his double speak.

She and her running mate Bill are sinking lower and lower into the slime abyss and it just looks cheap and unworthy.

16. It's a shame. I like him a lot, but he doesn't have a prayer against the other two.

Unfortunately.
