Elizabeth Edwards on Universal Health Care -- "I'm for Ideas That Succeed."

As I posted a couple of weeks ago, Elizabeth Edwards is speaking out against John McCain's health care plan (such as it is) and endorsing Hillary Clinton's proposal.  Why not just come out and endorse Hillary as a candidate?

Just as I would expect her to say, Elizabeth Edwards believes that she and her husband John can do more good for the country speaking out on the issues that matter most to them.  For her?  She wants to spend what political capital she has talking about improving health care.

As for her husband?  She believes he will continue to advocate for and work toward ending poverty in this country.

If they don't qualify as the new dynamic duo, I don't know who does. 

When she's not dreaming of an Edwards/Edwards ticket for the White House, you can find Joanne at her place, PunditMom, where she's thinking up new ways to get all political.

I had not thought of an Edwards/Edwards ticket until you mentioned it. I'm all over that one. Mr. & Mrs. President?

Aside from that, I think the Edwards are wise NOT to endorse at this point. It might have made a difference a few months ago, but now, I'm not sure it would sway that many people, and not taking sides in a fairly bitter battle puts them in good stead to make a difference in either an Obama or Clinton White House. Richardson has pretty much killed any chance of being #2 or a cabinet-level position if Hillary pulls it off, and I think he would have been a good choice for her.

That's great that she's pushing the issue forward--looking ahead to the convention and the need to refine the party platform.
