Edwards - "Suspended" his campaign. Interesting choice of words there..

from the lawyer.

Anybody else get this vibe? That using the words "I have suspended my campaign" rather than "I have ended my campaign."

The guy is a lawyer.

Is he sending a message that he's not done?

I for one, hope that he's not done!

1. "Suspended"

allows his campaign to continue to pat the staff until they secure other employment.

2. He is out. He did this so he can use matching funds to continue to pay his staffers.

3. This is a legal status that allows him to continue paying his staff

until they find work.

10. msnbc said he will get to keep his delegates - I wondered if that includes any

future delegates. Who knows, I just wish he would have waited until after super Tuesday.

12. We all do

Something was said to him -- he wouldn't have dropped without 2/5 without good reason.

Hopefully, someday -- we will know what it was.
