F#CKING AP Writer Calls Edwards' Decision "Stunning!"
I cannot fucking believe the hypocrisy of the M$M.

They strangle the Edwards campaign to death, refuse to cover him, and then have the AUDACITY, the blatant GALL to call his decision "Stunning".

4. "He pledged to stay in why did he withdraw?"
My opinion is that the Party leadership is trying to head off a Clinton nomination (look at the Obama endorsements since SC), and they offered him a sweetheart deal to get out.

What that deal might be (a high position in an Obama administration?) I dont know, but theres a large wave of important Democrats that just by coincedence moved towards Obama all at once.

Or, his 14% vote in Fla. was making him look like a King Maker

Pride I guess. Maybe it was time he admit he couldn't get the delegates. He would have gotten more delegates but not near enough to win. Maybe it was strategy to use his strength in this way. Keep everyone guessing and on Message!

Mispelled "stratgy", that's a bad one to screw up on, ha

5. They, the msm, gave Edwards more air time when he withdraws
Disgusting. They, the msm, got what they planned for, those that were Heavily backed by the corporations and lobbiest. Bought and paid for. Even the repubs didn't get big backing!? I gotta wonder why.

10. Well by picking over the corpse

11. I like Edwards, but I always doubted him

He would have never won re-election to the Senate in North Carolina in 2004. If you can't expect to win your own state, then you can't win the White House. Edwards is a good man and had some good ideas, and I thought considering the considerable distaste I have for Hillary and the fact I think Obama should actually do something before becomming President, Edwards looked like the #1 choice. In short, he was the best of a bad lot, that just got worse.

Obama and Hillary can go smoke a pipe together for all I care, neither are even remotely close to being the best qualified on our side of the aisle, yet here we are deciding between them, just ridiculously horrible choices. Screw that shit. I'm voting Green this year and I could give a shit if anyone doesn't like it.
