Best wishes to all Edwards supporters on getting through a "difficult day".
Survival procedure includes voting Edwards , turning off the traitorous MSM, and volunteering on a local campaign.Bless you all, I am off to the polls to collect signatures for my local candidates, including my husband.I am proudly wearing my Edwards button and and the end of the day, I am chilling out with a movie and a glass of wine and cuddling a cat! Much love to you all!

However I voted for Obama today. I want my vote to count and to make a difference. I seem to be in the minority of Edwards supporters but I will not be silent about this.

For what its worth, his name was on the ballot in Illinois but none of his delegates were on the ballot.

8. Thanks for the kind thoughts, best wishes to you as well.

It's sickening to see the glee from the Clinton and Obama supporters.

Neither is a true progressive, and neither is immune to corporate pressure.

If elected, they will both be better than George Bush, but of course he's set the bar very low.

And if elected, they will both fall far short of what could have been.

America is sold out once again by the corporate media, and most Americans are too stupid to see what's really happening. But we'll be around to remind them of their mistake when they realize what they've done.

:(

9. A very thoughtful thread to post
Edited on Tue Feb-05-08 11:24 AM by Tom Rinaldo
This has to be a difficult day for John Edwards many dedicated suporters; The first significant primary contests that John Edwards hasn't actively contested since early in 2004. I know how much all of you invested in supporting John Edwards message for America and his campaign to bring it into the oval office. I know exactly the type of heart wrenching effort you and he put into this for 4 years. I have been there also, just from a slightly different vantage point, but I know what this moment feels like.

Please know that you all have already changed America for the better. You can, and should, be proud of that. And I know that you, and he, care far too much about our nation to fade away now. I look forward to seeing you all on the front lines of our fight for an America that lives up to our ideals.
