Edwards Update

It appears as though Barack Obama made his way down to North Carolina in order to meet with John Edwards. Edwards has yet to make an official endorsement for a Democratic candidate. Obama admitted to the meeting saying they spoke of how they can "move the party in a direction that focuses on middle-class issues _ relieving poverty, reducing the influence of special interests in Washington". It has leaked that Edwards is worried about Obama's health care plan which he feels is far inferior to Clinton's. Edwards is also bothered, however, by Clinton's policies and ties to special interest groups. Edwards may be stuck in the middle right now, but I would certainly advise him to jump on board with somebody very soon. The longer he waits, the less of an impact he will have on the outcome of the race. As time passes, his endorsement truly becomes less and less important.
