The Minx Endorses John Edwards for President
I was going to post my official endorsement of John Edwards for the Democratic nomination for president on this blog because I feel that he is the most viable progressive candidate and a true agent for change in American politics, but at the last minute, after considering fully how my endorsement could unfairly affect the political process, I decided to pull my ensdorsement of John Edwards at the last minute and tell you all about it for the good of the country. That’s correct, in an earnest attempt to protect this country’s political process, I, Myrna the Minx, am officially refusing to endorse a Democratic candidate during the primary season.
Conventional wisdom holds that I should endorse a candidate, but we live in a cynical world where bloggers’ intentions are always questioned. No doubt, the media and my competitors would bend my earnest endorsement to their own less than honest purposes. There are already too many endorsements in this process. Its time to resist the impulse and let the voters decide for themselves. Research shows that primary voters do not reward endorsements anyway. The voters deserve better. I have chosen to take the high road–to endorse no one. I know its a big gamble, but its never too late to do the right thing. Taking the chance that my endorsement could work against me is simply not worth it.
So, vote the caucus!

huh?
My bad attempt at satire…….but will Huckabee’s stunt help or hurt him I wonder?
I heard the press was laughing at Huckabee’s stunt; nevertheless, Mike says he lost no sleep over it.
Not to brag, but I got the satire–good job.
This just in: Mike Huckabee says he has no idea how the attack ad he has disavowed got out and is now being played all over the Internet and on cable TV. [<A
