Sigh. I wish he had held out til Super Tuesday. Could a brokered deal at the convention still be a possibility?

What a shame, he will be missed. Edwards ran a good campaign that was based on the issues that affect America. Good Man with a Good Heart.
Who Will John Edwards Endorse?

Although he wasn't my candidate of choice, I had to respect his campaign & passion. Hopefully he'll have a place in Democratic politics for years to come.
