I wonder if a powerful Democrat bullied Edwards into leaving the race

If you notice, most of the congressional/Senate endorsements went towards either Obama or Clinton. Either way, I wish him and his family the best.

1. I don't think that would work on Edwards.

2. Yes, the Kennedy endorsement of Obama, maybe.

Just think what that Kennedy endorsement would have done for Edwards. But I believe that the Kenndy move was more to slap the Clintons rather than choosing a candidate who was actually carrying the mantle of RFK or JFK. Obama rarely mentioned the poor or the disenfranchised.

8. yes of course. Kennedy's just a liar.

And Obama certainly does mention the poor and disenfranchised. Futhermore he's actually spent years advocating for them He didn't choose Hilly's corportate law path.

3. Edwards just doesn't have the money...

He chose public financing and just wasn't getting the donations the other two were.

As much money as he had, he shoulda done like Mittens and dipped into his own pocket. I imagine he would have doe alot better had he done that.

5. I'm being asked to choose between a quarter or two dimes and a nickel.

The only anti-war voice in the primaries is a REPUBLICAN

I hope Mrs. Edwards is doing well.

6. Y'know, if that were true then Edwards isn't up to the job of President. But I don't think there's

a chance in hell that it's true.
