7. Me too - and, me too.
Would have liked him to make it through Super Tuesday and one more debate. I'm sad for him and sad for America.

4. I can understand. Yet it is sad. I feel he kept the other two honest.

6. REfutes the Media Spin on Insignificance of Florida
Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 09:19 AM by kennetha
So what changed between South Carolina and now? Oh, I got it a million and a half democrats voted in a "meaningless" beauty contest and Edwards came in a distant third in a state that's extremely representative of the democratic electorate. That helped Edwards see the writing on the wall.

Oh, but I forgot, those 1.5 million voting democrats don't really count for anything whatsoever.

Except now we'll hear from the media how good Florida turned out to be for Obama, since they will spin that the Edwards vote will all go to Obama -- although I think there's no evidence for that, especially since Edwards voters are more downscale than Obama's core voters and Clinton has been doing better with more downscale voters.

8. Sad
Kennetha, this is the 3rd time you've copy & pasted your post here. We get it.

Moving along, its a sad day for Edwards, this is a good man, honest man, who kept the other two on their toes. I am saddened by this news and it breaks my heart alittle. Hes not my first choice, but I certainly respected him.
