David "Mudcat" Saunders has his own take on John Edwards' endorsement.
A chief adviser to Edwards' presidential campaign on rural affairs, Saunders said the timing of the loss couldn't be better given Obama's resounding loss in West Virginia Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.
And, being a man named Mudcat after all, he put it in his own inimitable way:
"For Barack Obama, I think he ought to kiss Johnny Edwards on the lips to kill this 41-point loss," he said. "The story is not going to be the 41-point loss. It's going to be Edwards' endorsement."
