New Site For Edwards Supporters!!
Got this email today and I'm excited!

Check it out here: Edwards Evolution, Next Revolution

The day we've all been waiting for has finally arrived!
Introducing EENR (www.eenrblog.com) - a new home for Edwards Democrats, progressive activitists, and all interested in serious discussions to further a progressive populist agenda, with a side of fun of course!
Brought to you by many of the same folks (and several other familiar faces) who brought you EENR every night at Daily Kos and now the new EENR For Progress series on Sundays at DKos and Docudharma.
EENR is up and running and ready for you! We're announcing it today to all the great Edwards Democrats and progressives we've met along the way over the past year through the John Edwards 2008 run for the Presidential nomination. We want to give you the first shot at coming on over, signing up (yea! low UIDs), and getting comfortable. Later this week, we will make the Big Announcement on the major blogs.
EENR is a community blog, and we hope you will be part of that community. We've tried to set standards for discussion that reflect our desire for open communication, the search for truth, and that wonderful lesson we all learned in kindergarten, "Play Nice and Share Your Toys." There are lots of toys, too. There's a wonderful video wall, lots of diaries already there waiting for your comments, links to a mirror of the JRE campaign website, and much more. We'll have Open Threads, and special guest bloggers. And we're always open to suggestions!
EENR has a really unique feature. We have 12 subject sections located on the left hand side. This gives us twelve front pages and if you write a diary with one of the sections in your tags or use the drop down menu in creating it you can be a front pager in any section except the Home Page. ;-) Please join in creating the community discussions in all progressive areas.
EENR is a work in progress. Our resident designer, RedJet is still working on the overall look. Do expect a few changes as you join in and watch the development of the blog.

So come on by and get comfy. It's your home, your local hang-out, the coffee house where everyone knows everyone and the conversations flow.
Welcome to EENR! Come make it your own!
One final note: We want to give a very special hat tip to those in our merry band who took on extra responsibility to help build and put this blog together. They know who they are, and you'll find them if you need help, have questions, or ideas to make things better! Without their technical abilities, passion and service, the EENR blog as you see it now would never have come to be!

2. Except she's still in the race
I think its ok for people to support a candidate and want to see that person win. For me, its about keeping certain issues in the dialogue.

I know some people want to do the third-party thing, but I think Nader's got that wrapped up. I'm voting Dem in '08, but I still like Edwards and would like to see him involved in the future.

4. Hillaryis44.org
and I haven't been to either one - have no plans to either. They are just echo chambers of each other.

I supported Edwards until he dropped out, then I switched my support to Obama based on hours of research and homework on both candidates before deciding on going with the lesser of two evils, although Obama is growing on me every single day.

6. I voted right after he suspended
I had to get my primary ballot in and didn't have time to change candidates. Besides, I plan on supporting the Dem candidate, so I felt good about casting my primary ballot for my favorite candidate.

5. This is great.
Edwards has a meaningful message and a sincerity that I do not find in either Obama or Hillary. My Edwards One Corps group wants to continue to support Edwards' One Corps actions regardless of who is president. Edwards alone is really concerned about the issue of poverty.
