He was originally my last choice of the top 3, but as time went on, and I researched their positions, I was surprised to find that he was closer to my ideals than the other 2 in many ways. Whoda thunk, from the wealthy, white, straight, Southern male of the group? He took a strong stand, one he didn't have to take. Anyway, he made me <I>more</I> undecided, not less, and I admire him. <BR/><BR/>That said, I hope he endorses Obama, and regardless of people's thoughts on Hillary ... our nominee will be a woman or an African American.

Disappointing to see Edwards drop out - I thought he added another dimension to the race. But after pushing their Hillary-Obama race on us for over a year, I guess the media's finally relieved. Goodness, imagine if Edwards kept talking about poverty. Their poor narrative would've been in a mess.cowboyangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13452987299073540171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-74068688213975926652008-01-31T13:06:00.000-06:002008-01-31T13:06:00.000-06:00I quit paying attention when Fred Thompson dropped...I quit paying attention when Fred Thompson dropped out.

H...I feel that Edwards waited too long to drop out. He was clearly on the ropes after South Carolina, if not New Hampshire. Each day that passes devalues his endorsement.<BR/><BR/>Hillary clearly has no use for him, and if Obama loses, both Obama and Edwards are through, finished, and kaput. Therefore, it is in Edwards's best interest to team up with Obama and make the best deal he can as quickly as he can for mutualy self-preservation.<BR/><BR/>I am not as optimistic about Hillary as most of you. Many who have worked for her have learned that if you are percieved to have crossed her, she will get you. Backers of Edwards, (ie Unions, Trial Lawyers, and the Poor) can expect Hillary's retaliation, as can the disloyal backers of Obama in the Civil Rights Coalition. If Hillary gets in, you can expect a NAFTA II as well as Welfare Reform II. and perhaps some Barriatry Reform Legislation on such a scale that would make a Republican blush.<BR/><BR/>Edwards needs to endorse Obama while his endorsement is still worth something.<BR/><BR/>SUMYNONAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-62105177015353410172008-01-31T09:56:00.000-06:002008-01-31T09:56:00.000-06:00Well, the Democratic debate is down to two, and it...Well, the Democratic debate is down to two, and it will hopefully be a good one.

And it means a lot to me personally, being an expatriate New Orleanian, that he both started and ended his race in New Orleans.

He may not have gotten media coverage but he clearly changed the dialog of the campaigns and IMHO was the only one of the three likely to push on economic fairness.Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08944649205659070225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-81123651415065189842008-01-30T11:19:00.000-06:002008-01-30T11:19:00.000-06:00Oh Shark- Fu your sotu exogesis was brilliant, and...Oh Shark- Fu your sotu exogesis was brilliant, and funny AND TRUE. <BR/><BR/>It makes me sad that Edwards is dropping out, he just could not win for losing , or gain traction. I sent him some dough ,yep. BUT now i will fully to commit to OBAMA all the way. Its just got GOT TO happen. My reasons for utterly distaining Hillary , have nothing at all to do with GENDER. As i have said on my blog and have lost "friends" over it too boot. I wouldn't vote for her if she were a BLACK LESBIAN - its about her POLICIES, her CLINTONess' a thought of a dynasty and soo much more. <BR/>I want to shake some of these women in particular , who really are astounding me politically - who insist on clinging to "wanting to make history this way" Shit , Thatcher was a woman too. <BR/><BR/>Also one of the MOST ear pricking statements out of Billary's mouth or someone..that set my crew cut to hurtin was that Clinton WAS amerika's FIRST black president. <BR/><BR/>That is beyond patronizing ! Its soo wrong on soooooo many levels.<BR/><BR/>I am putting all my chips on Obama. Hoping to see historic voter turn out. Anyone interested in how Hillary is breaking the rules I would send you to Bluebloggin.com for a very exquisite snapshot and the Michigan and Florida debacles with the DNC and the delegates etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-20974717138784019782008-01-30T11:14:00.000-06:002008-01-30T11:14:00.000-06:00Health care is the key.
