Reply #4: But as Elizabeth observed, he was not black and not a woman

[question everything]

Did not have Bill or Oprah to draw crowds.

And people are looking for someone who would excite them, who would not be the same old candidate - a white man - and poor Edwards got shoved to the side.

I think that the biggest betrayers were the people of Iowa. He campaigned there practically non-stop from 2004 and they turned against him because Oprah told them to.

One more reason to move IA and NH from their King makers roles that contribute millions of dollars to the states' economy every four years.
