MSNBC "Edwards Suspending Campaign"

[THUNDER HANDS]

I think this means so he can pay his staff with the federal matching funds.

1. Does this mean he's still in? I'm confused.

I was going to early vote for Edwards today here in Georgia but now I'll wait until the 5th. I'm not sure who I'll vote for on Tuesday.
:(

2. I'm still voting for Edwards if he's on the ballot in March. One word: delegates. (nt)

7. Me too. Thanks for the info. n/t

6. i think it's too late to take his name off the ballots

but his campaign is effetively over. He can't drop out officially, or else he immediately loses his federal matching funds, in which case he wouldn't be able to pay his advisers or workers.

But by "suspending" his campaign he can technically stay in and use the funds to pay his workers, but stop campaigning.

3. "suspending" means he holds onto his delegates..and can take them to the convention!

but understand this folks..Obama's people have severely pissed off Edwards supporters.

I know..i did door knocking and phone calling for Edwards..i know what the people were saying!!

so keep up the bullshit here Obama children!

Edwards is not going to endorse today.

8. Sorry your candidate is suspending their campaign

As an Obama supporter I don't see "Obama’s people have severely pissed off Edwards supporters"... I don't know how or why... do a statistical analysis of all the post in the general topic forum... I assure you that most of them are negative post against Obama... do the count ... you will see the same thing I have seen...

If there are Obama supporters pissing Edwards supporters... I have to wonder if they really believe in Obama's message ... avoiding the cantankerous political discourse that is destroying our party and country...

Let's be careful we don't homogenize all Obama's supporters... we take enough crap here... take an honest and fair look for yourself.

9. save it i have seen it daily..and i have seen it on the ground working with the Edwards campaign.

just save it for someone willing to drink the kool aide.

10. And Edwards supporters have always been so nice.

Give me a fucking break.

'Democracy is dead' because my candidate dropped out is worse than anything I've ever read from any Hillary or Obama supporter.

4. that's something I was JUST going to post...

WHY would he drop out right when he was about to get federal matching funds in the MILLIONS????
