You say Obama but I say...

It's a truth universally acknowledged that where one political spouse leads, the other is bound to follow. For Exhibit A, please see Hill and Bill.

So it's refreshing that while Obama revels in the prized Edwards endorsement, he actually only managed to get half of it.

According to The New York Times:

Missing from the event was Elizabeth Edwards, Mr. Edwards’s wife, who has been a passionate proponent of universal health care. The Edwardses were said to be split on the endorsement, with Mrs. Edwards said to favor Mrs. Clinton because of her preference for parts of the Clinton health care plan.

This division has been reported among less well known couples and families as well. The younger memebers of some families support Obama enthusiastically, while the older ones are for Hillary. Sometimes the young are able to persuade their mothers and fathers to switch allegiance.
