7. It is a sad day
I wish all the Edwards supporters and he and his family the best on this day.

I'm guessing that February 5th was a big reason. It is the WORST solution to the primary season EVER.

10. "This son of a millworker will be just fine."
"We have to make sure that everyone in America is just fine."

Voters in Minnesota, Oklahoma almost changed his mind!

:cry:

14. Exactly, if I can vote for him here in Okla. I will
Just want to make a statement. Whether Hillary or Obama win the nomination is still reason for pause I figure why not vote who I feel would have truly made a difference. Why was Edwards not believed over the other candidates? They were believable but he wasn't??

That's a good choice. He has a decent shot at winning Oklahoma.
He will still accumulate delegates, even with him "suspending" his campaign.

23. He hopefully will still be on the ballot??
Surely they don't have time to change it. This should be true of many Feb. 5th primaries.

13. Well, I've been here before. I cried my eyes out when Kerry decided not to run.
I guess it's my default.

16. John Edwards NEVER had enough support.
I think this makes a HUGE statement about our nation.

19. I feel so bad for Edwards supporters and family
I really didn't expect that. Very dedicated supporters. What an enormous amount of loss to go through.

22. It's sad. But don't feel too bad --
Edwards will have an important role in the Democratic Party during the next four years because of this campaign. Whether that's VP, AG, or something else, he'll be having an effect on the issues we care about.

26. AG would be good; the DOJ needs fumigating.
Maybe he can borrow some equipment from Delay ;-).

28. John certainly raised the bar in this campaign.
He's not my candidate, but he will be sorely missed. I am very saddened by his retreat.

But I like the fact that he said "suspend" his campaign, not "dropping out of the race".

It sounds like he plans to still be a formative influence. I hope so.

29. We lost a candidate who was no doubt a fellow DU-er. He shared our collective values.
It's tough, but he has done good work, and will continue to.
