WHAT THE MSM DOESNT WANT YOU TO KNOW ABT EDWARDS


Suspended" is also what Ross Perot did in his 1992 campaign. Everyone

thought he was ending it but he came back after 2 months, in time to join the

fall debates

1. I'm all for Edwards, absolutely without a doubt,
but isn't it playing a dangerous game for the Dems chances, if what you're saying is true, and those votes end up going to the wrong person...during all this? It would be nice to hear from Edwards himself, about what's really going on!

3. We have heard from him by watching his
contacting in the lst week Rhode Island and North Dakota to re-iterate he wants his name kept on the ballots.

He's already on Feb 5 24 ballots

He's on Feb 19 ballots

and March, April, May ballots -

For whatever reason, and we have proposed the theories, he has "suspended" active campaigning

Maye he's waiting for Fitz's criminal case to finish up.

Maybe he's waiting for some truths to come out.

But one thing is for sure. This is going to be no ordinary election.

6. Kick.
The landscape could change a lot. Scandals come and go. It's a long way to November.

11. It's possible, a meteor could hit Clinton and Obama at their next debate.
And he would become the de facto candidate. Now this would be a huge unlikely but I guess Edwards fans can always keep their fingers crossed.

14. Who gives a shit?
Really, Edwards was getting his ass kicked by Obama and Hillary. Coming back in the fall would just result in siphoning off support from whomever is the Dem nominee.

Bill Clinton was the beneficiary of Perot's campaign in 1992 an '96. McCain would benefit from an Edwards campaign in the fall.

15. Ah, so Edwards is using the infamous "Perot Maneuver."
"And for the candidate for Vice President, I have selected... A RUBBER CHICKEN!"
