And then there were Five…
Edwards and 9iu11ani are out. As I’ve mentioned before, I supported Sen. Edwards in the primaries, and so naturally, I am disappointed that he’s decided to end his run.
But I can certainly understand the decision, given the way he was treated in the “librul” media. Thanks to their “brownout” of coverage of his candidacy, coupled with their blatant hostility whenever they deigned to talk about him, it’s no wonder he wasn’t able to get any traction among the party faithful.
And sadly, even as he’s dropping out, the “librul” media’s hostility to Edwards continues apace. Politico’s Drudgico’s Anne Schroeder Mullins credits Fux “News” for the death of the Edwards campaign - an assessment I’m sure The Lord of the Loofahs will agree with, even if he hogs all the credit (hat tip, Big Head DC).
Meanwhile, Whorah O’Donnell couldn’t even wait for Edwards’ speech to begin before falsely suggesting that Edwards dropping was good for Hillary (I’ll have to paraphrase, since I can’t seem to find a video or transcript anywhere, but I will update as soon as I find either):
Given that 40% of Edwards supporters listed Sen. Clinton as their second choice, and only 25% favor Sen. Obama, can we say that this is good news for Hillary?
Umm… No, Norah. In case your Republican-shill brain can’t hack the math, 40% plus 25% only adds up to 65%, not 100%. This makes The Keith Number™ (undecideds plus margin-of-error - no relation to the mathematical term of the same name) at least 35%. That’s thirty-five percent of Edwards supporters who could go either way. In other words, they are as likely to support Obama as they are Clinton. If Obama runs the table with the undecided Edwards supporters, he’d have the advantage, not Clinton!
