3. I'm writing him in on 5/6.

I don't give a shit anymore. And I'm not too thrilled with my Dem gov choices in NC, either.

*Sigh* is right.

4. I agree

He was the best of the electable candidates.

Frankly, I liked Biden and Dodd, more than Obama or Hillary.

But of the 8, Obama came in 5th for me, and Hillary came in 7th.

At least my fifth choice is closing the deal.

5. Edwards was always the superior candidate.

He just had too populist of a message for the corporate media to allow on the air.

6. the media would have manufactured "baggage" against Edwards

No Democrat can become president under the status quo.

9. Why, do you wish you could see 24 hour coverage of his hair?

It's not like Obama did anything to cause wrightgate, or bittergate, or any of this crap. This is just what politics looks like in this sham of a democracy. People don't know what any of the candidates stand for, but every character assassination message aimed at the Democrat is relentlessly amplified in our so called liberal media. This is three presidential elections in a row they've done this. It's not because of the candidate, it's because of the party.

11. Yup, he was the best candidate

I don't even watch the news anymore - not even KO. I've been fighting against this neo-con regime since before 2000, but I think they won.

16. All the substance was sucked out of the campaign when he dropped out.

Since then it's been nothing but personalities. It would be great to hear about issues again.

25. JE was always spared the bad press. Any Dem candidate gets gored.

We need to rally around why we liked our candidate after the media deconstructs, or at least ignore the trash.

29. He could have helped speed things along.

Either way he decided to go, he could have helped shorten this fiasco by giving an endorsement.
