An almost open secret for the past few weeks has been confirmed by the NYTimes. Elizabeth Edwards clearly prefers Hillary Clinton:

You're going to sit here with your hand wringing, crying out about the injustice of such a move. Doesn't she know how Rovian Clinton has become? Doesn't she realize she's the epitome of a DINO? How could she have betrayed us?
And then you're going to start to turn on her, as you've effectively turned on everyone who's laid a hand on your man, Obama; the horde has become so effective in explaining away Obama's gaffes and in dismissing his critics.
But think for one second: Elizabeth Edwards is one of the highest information voters around. She has information, insights, and experiences that we can't appreciate. She's seen both candidates up close; has witnessed how they've both conducted their campaigns; knows their policies better than any of us.
Maybe, just maybe, Elizabeth Edwards recognizes something in Hillary Clinton that you all have long forgotten in your viral rage. Your fawning testaments and your willful ignorance of Obama's weaknesses coupled with your certainty of Hillary's near-fascist desire for power have blinded you to the possibility that Sen. Obama might not win this thing, and that Hillary Clinton might be a viable alternative.
As a Clinton supporter, I'd be thrilled to both campaign for and give money to Sen. Obama. But you all---an Obama loss seems akin to telling a child that there is no Santa Claus. You'd flee from the political process, bemoaning the "noise" and the "nonsense." Pathetic.
Commence with the "troll" ratings.
