Now... what about John Edwards?

This showing was particularly... dissapointing...

I don't know what to think. He did so well in the last debate. I guess nobody watched that counts.

with a message I thought would resonate on voters.

Perhaps around 15%.

He should probably drop out of the race now.

had "nothing " to do with it.But hey "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas", right?

Obama vs Clinton...it became a FUKCING WAR!

He lost in NH badly, he lost in NV very badly... what's up with that?

from the precincts.

South Carolina is more important

Edwards just doesn't have that much support. He put all his eggs in Iowa and it didn't happen.

the corporate owned news will admit such.

Caucus's are the worst thing I have seen. I have already heard stories of people in the unions being told who to vote for, and with caucus goers not having to show any ID we don't know how many people were really legal to be voting! This system is stupid and even the repbublicans do it different, with the people being able to talk and try and sway votes, but in the end it's a one vote private ballot, and that's a hell of a lot better than what the dems have. Those union workers will do what they are told for fear of losing their jobs, and that's not democracy at work!

And it didn't stay in Vegas. Unlike Britney!

or should I say perhaps Queen maker!
Neither Hillary or Obama might have 50%+ delegates at convention time.

By staying in Edwards may syphon off enough anti-Hillary votes from Obama to ensure Hillary wins.

Is that what the Edwards supporters want?

After SC (if he has yet another poor showing) he and his supporters need to seriously rethink things, as staying in could do more damage to his anti-establishment (Hillary) cause than getting out and letting the only viable candidate that supports many of the same things a chance to win.

I think for most of the population there is a natural tendency to focus on a two person race. Yes the media was not fair but McCain was also ignored and he was able to get through. Congratulations to the winners.

It is what it is.

IMO. People will depart the Democratic Party in DROVES!

It's time the Dem party learn a very HARD lesson.

were all about 'Stop Obama'. Edwards got lost in that. There has always been something very strange about the rising of Barack Obama. The corporatists would never allow a populists movement/Edwards to get out of the starting gate. Edwards was always considered the major threat to their dominance of the government. The strategy? Use the influence of corporate money and corporate media to spin a tale of 'two super heros' and to marginalize Edwards early on.

The whole damn 'election' is controlled behind the scenes and is a farce. Democracy has become too vulnerable to manipulation, and most people are too uninformed and lack the diligence to realize what is happening in this country, and around the world.

Edwards is beginning to realize this - and wondering how he will adjust, and if he will go on.

Edwards gets lost in the big money and media battle between the two.

Edwards is under a lot of pressure from the corporatists/lobbyists.

its only 33 delegates. We have a long way to go until the convention.

Edwards does well with crossover and swing voters - they don't show up much for caucus votes.

We're in it until the convention.

It is a cause. We aren't going anywhere. We will only get stronger over time. There is no going back now.

has left for a "cause"

There will be exhaustion and sleep after the election and coronation.. I mean, inauguration.

Then, gearing up for the midterms....

etc.

When do people take time to HEAR?

and neither am I

How unfortunate.

Ain't about to happen.

Soaring rhetoric is inspiring, but it just doesn't do it for me.

John Edwards, Esq.

He had it right then and he still has it right.

As long as Hillary is in a debate with two men--they can't be critical of her or she will play the victim. Two men ganging up on her, how mean. JE has become Hillary's insurance for the nomination after South Carolina.

We SUPPORT THE CAUSES that Edwards supports.

Stop whining for the Edwards votes. You ain't getting them!

Helping Hillary's DLC crowd to the White House isn't going to help those causes...

Your insinuation that we need to back down and throw our support to Obama is insulting.

WE ARE NOT GIVING UP ON JOHN EDWARDS!
