****Official Neutral Supporters Upset to see Edwards go****
Why does a person have to be partisan to be upset that Edwards is leaving?

:D

1. I know what his supporters are going through and feel for them.

2. I'm really kinda sad. Out of the 3 Edwards most closely matched issues that were important to me.

5. Same here
I wish he had a broader appeal with the general public - he certainly had the best message of the three remaining candidates.

6. The MSM needed a story because the GOP field sucked. Woman +Black = News & $$$$$

3. Sad to see the media has already made this a two-way race
And even sadder to see the range of "acceptable" debate has shrunken even further, yet again. Both the remaining candidates are carbon copies of each other on the issues.

I still hope Edwards supporters will vote for him if he's on the ballot in their state, anyway.

4. IMHO, out of the 3, he was the only one who actually
gave a shit about the American people.

7. My own reaction surprised me.
My eyes actually welled-up when I read the headline, which was a bit surprising. I haven't cried about politics since That Night in 2000.

Reading that he's giving his speech in New Orleans (home) is most likely the culprit; he's payed so much attention to us when it seems like so many others have forgotten. Had he stayed in, he would've seen a good showing in Louisiana.
