Stunned

I am having a difficult time here waiting until 1 o'clock to hear what Mr. Edwards will have to say, and maybe Mrs. Edwards, too.

I feel like I only came to understand the man that is Edwards after reading a feature piece in either Time or Newsweek, can't remember which one now.

In a sentence, I think he believed passionately that he could effectively take his success and advocacy skills in the courtroom to the political arena.

With the lack of traction in his campaign since New Hampshire, I think, I wondered to myself how he could continue. And the last time I saw him speak he seemed almost delirious with exhaustion (he was articulate and focused, just extremely sleep-deprived, imo. He has always been a hard worker and I'm sure he thought with enough work, he could prevail.

A lot of my personal identity has derived from work over the years, and now I am tired of work.

I feel bad for Edwards partly because I guess I kind of want to feel sorry for myself, for all that I would like to achieve but can't. I hope his dreams don't end with this campaign. Sometimes advocacy works best from the outside, even in small ways, I hope. I think it works some days anyway.

i had already decided for Obama. When I saw Mr.Edwards speak at an annual state Dem dinner, I feared for what seemed to me a basic innocence and goodness that i hoped wouldn't get corrupted by the meanness and cruelty that increasingly defines the election process.

If you ever have any questions on Obama, just PM me. Take care!
