Assertion:
Edwards supporters should prefer Clinton.
In response to: Edwards supporters should prefer Obama.
Cruxes...
The top point in support right now is, "Edwards' main draw was a focus on poverty and class, bringing him blue collar worker support. Clinton has been racking up the union endorsements (Farm, Steel, AFCSME, etc.)"
[Jump]
The top counterargument is, "She has been part of the establishment that Edwards speaks against. Obama really is from outside Washington, having been there only since 2004."

Obama has also been winning endorsements (like culinary and casino workers in Nevada)

Clinton has decades of experience, including two terms as First Lady and two terms as Senator from NY. She can hit the ground running from day one.

She has less elected experience than Obama does.

Obama has more life experience, having lived in other parts of the world and having worked as a community organizer. Clinton spent her whole life in politics.

Being able to "hit the ground running" isn't all that matters. She needs to be able to lead and lead in the right direction, but she hasn't shown ability to inspire like Obama.

I support Hillary. As soon as Obama got to the U.S. Senate, he started running for President. He also plays the race game. He only talks a good game, but accomplished nothing.

While he may or may not have been running for President since 2004, that has been just as true of Clinton since 2000 (or even 1992, or even earlier)

He has not played "the race game." Saying that without evidence does not make it so.
