10. Damn, you said it first
Nor do I think Edwards would ever entertain that idea.

5. Oh PLEASE!
Lieberman was a republican in Dem clothing. John is a liberal who would run 3rd party as a LIBERAL. (But I fear he won't.)

Why don't you just compare apples and orangutans?

11. He could run as a third party candidate
But it would help the republicans by default
I will never understand the scorched earth scenario people adopt as soon as their candidate drops out.
And I am an Edwards supporter just fyi.(I would cease being one if he went indy)

7. He won't, but I don't see anything wrong with it. I've never voted 3rd party.

9. He's smarter than that.
He's not a bitter Nader. Just being realistic. Too bad he couldn't hang in there, it would have made for a more interesting convention. Now we'll have a candidate after the first round. What fun is that?
