A friend writes:

"It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to John Edwards' candidacy.

"I certainly can't say I didn't see it coming, but I now have to forego
the luxury of feeling excited about the candidate I support.

"Up until the last minute I held out hope for an Al Gore candidacy, but
I had to let that go. Kucinich, who best represents my values, was
kicked to the curb as a viable candidate early on. But Edwards'
strength encouraged me. I have always liked him - I liked him in 2004
and I liked him better this time around. I think he would have made a
great President. He is the candidate that talked about the elephant in
the living room - the corporatocracy which is driving us towards
feudalism and has turned the middle class into the working poor and
the working poor into the indigent. He is a fighter who has taken on
the big corporations and won. As I have said before, he's not perfect;
but the perfect candidate for me could not get elected county
dogcatcher - our sorry electoral system makes sure of that. Chris Dodd
earned my respect by standing up for the rule of law - in the middle
of his Presidential campaign! - enough to get some of my hard-earned
money.

"Yes, the mainstream media has done what it set out to do - they got
their "Thrilla In Manila" on Pay-Per-View. By insisting that Edwards
was a loser with no chance, and leaving him out of the discussion
except to mention that he was not part of the 'historic' Steel-Cage
Death Match, they made it happen. Bravo, fellas.

"But the party's over for me. Now it's just a matter of doing what it
takes to get a Democrat into the White House - more to keep the Repubs
from adding any more right-wing fanatics to the Supreme Court than
anything else. Emotion about politics is a luxury. When you can be
enthusiastic about a candidate, it feels good and energizes you to
work for them. Nothing wrong with being jazzed about your guy or gal,
if I may be so bold. But it's not a necessity. And if it weren't for
the justices and other appointments that are made by a President, I
might not even care. Let the Repubs lie in the bed they made. Let them
take on the disaster that the Boy King has saddled us with.

"However, I can't go there. I have to work for a Democratic candidate.
I can't sit back and leave my daughter with a Supreme Court that will
take away her privacy and control of her own body. I can't sit back
and leave my sons with the possibility of being drafted when we run
out of volunteer cannon fodder (or my daughter, for that matter.) I
have to stand up for Democratic values and hope that our nominee will
stand up for them, too. All I can do is pressure them within the party
structure to move towards our real American values - liberal values.

"Hillary? Barack? Who knows? Who cares? It's back to business as usual.

"Best,

Alicia"
