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 voter's sympathies but never diverted his campaign, The Associated Press has learned.

somewhat of a surprise. I thought he would hang in there until after Super Tuesday. I wonder if he endorses Obama today.

That is surprising, but it looks like both parties are cutting their losses early.

This is a shame. As a presidential candidate, he had the nicest hair.

I really wish all the candidates would stay in the race untill more than half of the states have had the opportunity to vote. This way it gives voters more choices instead of being narrowed down before they even have an opportunity to walk into the voting booth.

This makes me furious. Why bother to have an election at all? Just let those few states decide our fate. I'm sure they'd do a FINE job, especially Florida.

I thought Edwards was in it for the long haul. At least that is what he said. Maybe it is a good thing that he dropped out now so we know what he means by the long haul.

He should have channeled JFK when he had the chance. Maybe all that hair spray clogged the synapses and he couldn't get good reception.

Oh no, here comes Tessylo. What? Are you bald or something? Are you prejudiced against people with nice hair? You should check out Hair Club for Chronic Negmasters.
Edwards' hair was the best thing he had going. Can't you just accept that and give him the credit that he deserves?

"Edwards had some very good ideas and thoughts on how to fix some of the gargantuan messes the current moron in charge has made."
Considering how badly Skippy has been slapped since 04, a consistent losing streak, un parallel in modern politics, Id have to question your "judgment" on all of the above.

tessylo,
You don't upset me even when you chronically take things out of context.
I am not obsessed with Edwards' hair but that is all that he has going for him and I don't want to cheat him out of that. Other than that, he is a light weight.
And keep your cigarette smoke away from me. You know how I can get (at least according to you). Your rights are more important than anyone else's. All hail Tessylo.

"I have a full head of lustrous strawberry blond naturally curly hair."
Hmmmmm, you sound just YUMMY! ;D
Don't waste your time on those two dolts. Sooner or later they will have to move out of mommy's basement and get a job filling our cars gas tanks.

"shooting people in the head with your .357 magnum if they mistakenly blow cigarette smoke your way - or if they happen to be within a mile radius of you."
You can't hit someone with a .357 magnum at 1 mile, that would be a problem even with the .50 BMG.
If you really want to reach out and touch someone a 1 mile ya have to use something like the CheyTac .408

The political parties now have the pair of candidates they wish to make money advocating their past records of non achievement.
Every political party affiliate is drooling at the prospect of their candidate winning and they already have a Christmas list of wants and needs to be fulfilled. So every time you see a party member advocating their candidate just ask yourself, how many dollars is in his/her wish list.
"Change", "experience" with Hillary and McCain, yeah right and tea leaves grow in the arctic.
McCain the perpetual war loving despot for the world.
Hillary the candidate of the weather vane and divisiveness.
Both adore the fact illegals will benefit with our social programs and Amnesty. This equates to more debt for you to pay, if possible. Meanwhile our rich have cheap labor for themselves while we pay the future bills. Oh, and the war goes from long to never ending with either candidate.

YAAAAHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO! I LOVE IT! Its about time that moron gave up. It's scary to think that idiot could have actually become president. Now if we could get Hillary to quit. That would really make my day.

Hey, immigrants we all were at some point or another and who guarantees that Obama is going to be any different than those predecessors. I wonder how much he will owe good ol'Teddy

Some people just can't seem to get their point across. Edwards was one of them. He had some good ideas but just couldn't convince people he deserved a chance. The other shameful aspect of our political process is the money factor. Without it it doesn't matter who you are or what your programs are you won't succeed. This is too bad because only the wealthy become presidents. There are several solutions to this problem but I don't see any of them happening.
