electionbid2008.com is the #5 Blogger for John Edwards
The Obama campaign and its supporters have been quick to throw around charges of racism when their candidate has been criticized. I propose the following easily-applied thought experiment before evaluating such charges: would Republicans say the same thing about John Edwards?
Would Hillary, who split the vote with Edwards in the Iowa caucuses on Janaury 3, 2008 -- the first contest of the long race -- have won Iowa had Edwards dropped out? Edwards barely grabbed second place there. (Obama had 37.6 percent of the delegates; Edwards, 29.9; and Hillary, 29.5.)
