So Edwards' decision just...isn't newsworthy, huh? Hmmm...
Advertisements [?]
Feelings, affiliations and baggage aside, shouldn't this be a fairly big story? Okay, after a major presidential speech, it shouldn't be the lead, but it should be in there SOMEWHERE, wouldn't you think?

My point here is just to underline the vacuum of coverage this guy gets.

A U.S. Senator--a first-termer who's a bit of a rising star--decides to not run for re-election in order to concentrate on his presidential bid even when he's in the middle of the pack by polling; that SHOULD raise an eyebrow or two, shouldn't it?

What's my point? Oh, a little emotional hyponchondria, to be sure, and a greasy slight bit of rabble rousing for the guy, but more than anything, it's just to bring up yet another example of favoritism of the media and fear of this guy. It's actually quite clever to uniformly greet him with silence.
