Let's go for 8 in a row
Tomorrow, Barack Obama has a chance to sweep the much anticipated February 12th primaries, which include Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia. If he does, that will bring his streak of consecutive wins to eight -- meaning he has not lost a contest since Super Tuesday.
But let's not be giddy. It looks like John Edwards may endorse Hillary Clinton, which means that the downward pressure on Clinton's campaign, which reached a boiling point yesterday with the removal of her campaign manager, could turn around. So for everyone voting tomorrow, I want to see all of you, as soon as you get done with work or school, head out to major intersections and hold up Obama signs. Give friends rides to the polling stations. Call neighbors, brothers, sisters, parents and co-workers. Tell them how imperative it is that they get out and vote. The ball is in our court now. This is ours to lose. Let's go win it!
Todd,
Why do you say that Edwards may endorse Clinton?
If that happens Edwards' message is nullified because he explicitly called Clinton "the status quo". He ripped her up for months for taking so much cash from lobbyists. If he turns around and endorses her, then he becomes what he despises.
In no way do I mean to say that he has to endorse Obama either. That's up to him. But if her endorses Clinton I would be totally confused as to the purpose of John Edwards.

If Edwards does endorse Clinton he will lose loads of respect. He called he status quo then turns around and endorses her, wouldn't be right. I really think he is just playing both sides against each other to see who is more willing to play ball.

On Recent Caucuses:
First: I would guess that some Candidates do not Like Caucusses because it is very hard to Cheat at a Caucus, as it is done in the light of day, and there are no Diebold machines with no paper trail which can be hacked into, at caucusses. That is why California got rid of their Diebold Machines because they have courageously admitted that they are susceptible to Hacking!
Second: Blue-collar workers, teachers, etc., do not work on Saturday or Sunday, so that is not an acceptable excuse for why the Clintons do not do good at caucusess.
Third: Blue-collar workers and teachers are Also for Obama, as are some Latinos, women, etc.!
