Another One Bites The Dust

Democrat John Edwards is exiting the presidential race Wednesday, ending a scrappy underdog bid in which he steered his rivals toward progressive ideals while grappling with family hardship that roused voters’ sympathies but never diverted his campaign, The Associated Press has learned.

The two-time White House candidate notified a close circle of senior advisers that he planned to make the announcement at a 1 p.m. in New Orleans that had been billed as a speech on poverty, according to two of his advisers. The decision came after Edwards lost the four states to hold nominating contests so far to rivals who stole the spotlight from the beginning — Billary and Barack.

John ran a good campaign and vowed to stay in it all the way to the convention, but apparently that’s not going to happen. John’s populist message scared the daylights out of the wealthy elite and the corporate media, which ultimately hurt his coverage.

So it appears that with the two candidates left standing on the democrat side, we will get more of the same old same old, but to a lesser degree with one.

So it seems that Obama will get my vote on "super Tuesday" - reluctantly - and I can only hope there will be a strong independent candidate for the generals.

Perhaps a Kucinich/Paul ticket? Or an Edwards/Kucinich? As independents.
