I agree. I don't think this will hurt Obama or help McCain. But, contrary to Jerk's wishful thinking, it does warrant disgust and discussion. He played a major role in this election and was far from done with politics before this.
Howard Wolfson has claimed that if this were known before Iowa, Hillary would have won there and, subsequently, the nomination. He apparently didn't notice that Edwards' support went largely to Obama when he left. No wonder she didn't win with that kind of idiocy running her campaign.
