Despite being the distant third in the Democratic race this year, he has an immense amount of popular support and that is bound to re-invigorate him. The best way for him to advance his agenda is to be part of the next administration, assuming we elect a Democrat.Lizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14605279152700363635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36404602.post-58117028091831575782008-03-25T11:25:00.000-04:002008-03-25T11:25:00.000-04:00For John Edwards to endorse either of these candid...For John Edwards to endorse either of these candidates -- neither of whom has anything interesting to say about poverty, ending the occupation of Iraq, or surveillance of the American population in the name of "terrorism" -- would betray his supporters, and his own politics. <BR/><BR/>Why WOULD he endorse either of them?

The profound disappointment of mounting something as all-consuming as a presidential bid only to be rejected by the very people he sought to lift up, together with Mrs. Edwards' very serious illness has led to his withdrawal from public life, perhaps temporarily, perhaps forever.Larry Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425250800667058263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36404602.post-51657550537694164862008-03-24T02:26:00.000-04:002008-03-24T02:26:00.000-04:00Only two possibilities:1.

So he adopts the neutral position of a party elder and hopes that it works.<BR/>2. Edwards has other career plans and really does want to be a party elder, kind of like Al Gore.Lizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14605279152700363635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36404602.post-41994901848772068682008-03-24T02:02:00.000-04:002008-03-24T02:02:00.000-04:00Hello, it's March.
