Hillary's team claims the 'guys' ganged up on her during the Democrat's last debate. Perhaps she's right?
I've noticed of late how John Edwards hasn't been attacking Barack Obama on the issues the way he's been going after Hillary, even though Obama has basically agreed with Hillary on how long troops will be in Iraq and he's agreed with her feelings toward the New York's Governors plan to give licenses to illegal immigrants. Senator Obama is in second place in most polls, including in Iowa.
Iowa is the first big step in a politicians endeavor to gain the nomination for President. Most political pundits have declared that unless you come out of Iowa in second or first place you have little to no chance of winning the nomination.
Why isn't John Edwards, since he's so low in the polls nationally, going after Barack Obama instead of attacking Hillary Clinton, at this time; who, according to National polling, is at least, 20-30 points ahead of both Obama and Edwards? Have John and Elizabeth come to the conclusion that since we seem to be losing, we might as well give it our 'all' and if all else fails, join a team; the Barack Obama team?
What does John Edwards keep telling us that he can do best? Doesn't he speak a lot about his ability to help citizens with their health care by taking on the insurance and pharmacuetical companies and his ability to get assistance to needy families -- issues that make a difference to American families?
What position would that be in a White House cabinet? Wouldn't that be as Secretary of Health & Human Services?Why would John be willing to take on such a, behind the scenes position, you ask?
John has tried for the presidency once before, the vice presidency once, and he's pretty much assured that he will not win this time around. What's one of the next best things to be in the White House? A position in the President's cabinet.
As we all know, other then foreign policy, the War on Terror, Iran, North Korea, the War in Afghanistan and the War in Iraq, health care is the number one issue in the minds of most Americans. What experience does John bring with him into the position of Secretary of Health and Human services? His own biography on his website tells us, "For 20 years, John dedicated his career to representing families and children just like the families he grew up with in Robbins. Standing up against the powerful insurance industry and their armies of lawyers, John helped these families through the darkest moments of their lives to overcome tremendous challenges. His passionate advocacy for people like the folks who worked in the mill with his father earned him respect and recognition across the country."
It's been reported in the media that John Edwards and Barack Obama's health care plans are very similar. What better way to make the history books, when you can't be president or vice president, but to be the one to help initate Universal Health Care for All Americans?
Have Obama and Edwards decided to work as a team to get passed Hillary Clinton? What do you think?
