The Edwards’ Will Not Endorse Before NC


May 6th, 2008

Both John and Elizabeth Edwards sat down with People Magazine and gave their likes and dislikes of the candidates.

Elizabeth Edwards:

–Likes Clinton’s health care plan, dislikes “the lobbyist money.”

–On Obama, says “the fact that he has motivated so many young people to be involved, I think is fantastic,” but adds “I don’t like his health care plan or his advertising on health care, which I think is misleading.”

John Edwards:

–On Clinton: “I like something different about Hillary. I think her tenacity shows a real strength that’s inside her.” What doesn’t he like about Clinton? “Um, still a lot of the old politics.”

–On Obama, he said two things he likes: “One is, I think he really does want to bring about serious change and a different way of doing things. And secondly, I think it’s a great symbolic thing to have an African-American who could be president.” For dislike? “Sometimes I want to see more substance under the rhetoric.”

So in short, neither will be endorsing but it seems the rumors that Elizabeth was leaning toward Clinton and John toward Obama were accurate.
