Middle of the road isn't good enough.... Edwards puched out by Media


John Edwards is DONE. Most who follow this year's race have forseen this since the onset of the Soutch Carolina primary. Being one that sits on the political fence, i am sad to see him go. Fortunately he is yougn enough to make another couple of runs, but after this year's disappointment who knows. Being a good southern man, and seeing his concern for working people of South Carolina, it was hard not to be captivated by Edwards. With the '04 campaign success there was much hope for John, but unfortunately he was a pawn in the democratic party to the King and Queen that is Hilary and Obama. The democrats didn't like him cause of his Dixie-crat vibe, and the Republicans don't like him because, well, he's a Democrat. If bipartisanship is what the country is after, why are supporting candidates that take their political views to extremes. Sorry Hilary but this is not meant to be a socialists country. The only way anything can be accomplished in today's America is with a bipartisan leader with fresh ideas and understands the need to work with both sides and not simply be the figure head for their parties agenda. Personally I was saddened on a regular basis to see the daily attention that the media gave to Hilary and Obama. But what else would you expect from the liberally biased media. Even the major GOP candidates can't get half the exposure of the Democratic two headed monster. And John Edwards couldn't even half the time of the GOP. So it was a emense uphill battle for Edwards. I perosnally hope that he does not end up playing second fiddle as a VP candidate, which is highly unlikely. Most people will see Edwards's exit as a forseen event with little consiquence, but I on the other hand will view it as a loss of person who may have had the right ideas and concerns for a country in need of strong confident leader. So at this point i will shift my thoughts to whom i wish to vote for now... Odds are it will be a Republican, because i feel that the two Dem. candidates are two focused on personal glory and not the agenda of a country in need.
