Unfortunate. Because even though he was behind in the polls, he brought a level of democracy to the democratic primaries that will not be there afterwards. And stories like this continue to give me pause about Obama.

I think that Edwards “suspension” is a political game. He should have “ended” his campaign all together. After ending, he then should have been a MAN and not a Politician and support Obama or Clinton. Of course, we can expect politicians to be REAL.
Edwards promises are very similar to the politicians that have no clue as to how government works. Even with a Democratic Majority, there would have been no way in he!! he would have been able to do a moratorium. That was political pie in the sky. I know that but Obama and Clinton have some pie in the sky stuff too, but Edwards really seemed like he was in the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory.
Oh well, now we can see if these remaining two will play nice. Let’s see if anymore racial crap will come up. 😉
I was a little disappointed that he dropped out too. John did really try to speak to the issues that “everyday people” are faced with he just happened to get caught up in the crosswinds of the “Barack Obama phenomena” and the democratic machine pushing Hillary.
I thought he and Barack looked good standing together at the last debate, I’d vote for them. But I was hoping to see how well John did with southern whiteboys on Tuesday. The S.C. primaries proves he may not be that strong in the south with whiteboys, and in terms of Barack winning the nomination he would definitely need someone who could pull in the southern white vote. Tuesday would have been a test case. If John cannot pull in the majority of the southrn white male vote atleast, he would be of no help to Barack, who would then be forced to put someone on the ticket that could bring in that segment of voters.
His leaving also gave Barack the chance to go one-on-one with the visible half of “Billary” at the debate and try to solidify his position as the candidate of the people. I believe he failed. As much as I hate to admit it, just between us, Al Sharpton, would have blown Hillary out of there. She would have been crying for real.
they asked a question at the debate about the feasibility of each having the other as a running mate. before i actually saw his results i didn’t think obama was a vice-presidential candidate, nor did i think that clinton was. i was hoping that edwards would reconsider, but it now looks like some combination of obama and clinton is what we’ll get.
and that would be a shame, no matter who is at the helm, because neither really is interested in moving the mechanisms of government leftward.
Ever notice how many former Clinton people are working for candidate BO?
been meaning to contact my girl who went for HC because BO was just starting his campaign and there was a two week period where she’d have been without loot. wonder how she’s doing and whether she made the switch yet…
