I Am Sad Today

[Parche]

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :hi:

[ailsagirl]

1. I understand completely. It's always a blow when your candidate

bows out. He fought the good fight and didn't stoop to mud-slinging.

[SPKrazy]

2. me too

[Heidi]

3. Me, too. To the MAX.

It takes a LOT to bum me out, but this really does.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear Parche...

Me too...

Why is it that the candidates with the most heart, and the best ideas, drop out?

First Kucinich, and now Edwards...

Why do the corporate candidates do so much better?

*sigh*

[SPKrazy]

5. money and media

[Heidi]

8. I think we won't know until JE speaks, Peggy.

I believe he must have a very, very good reason for dropping out at this point, and I'll wait to hear from my candidate exactly what his reasons are. It may very well be that his decision is based on the greater good. I've vowed to bash none of the candidates, so I won't say that I think the greater good might be. :)

20. because we have government Of the Corporation, By the Corporation, and For the Corporation.

sad but all too true.
They give us the illusion of the "democratic process", but it's all a sham.

[MrCoffee]

6. I second that emotion

:hi:

[Ryano42]

7. I think he is still going to be a force...

Like mini-Gore! :)

Attorney General John Edwards? :D

He will have a roll in the future!!!

[LynzM]

9. Me too, Parch

Sad, and angry that such a great man was so marginalized by the M$M, who now have the fucking BALLS to ask WHY HE DIDN'T CATCH ON?!?! :banghead:

[LibraLiz1973]

28. That P.O.S Chris Matthews said

that Edwards never caught on because "His rhetoric didn't match is good looks"

[Cabcere]

10. Me too

:cry: :hug: :hi:

[Fox Mulder]

11. Hopefully he'll be the nominee's running mate.

Whether it'll be Clinton or Obama...who knows.

[Kerrytravelers]

13. I was thinking running mate or in the Cabinet.

He could kick some serious ass in the Cabinet!
:bounce:

[haf216]

12. Me too

I just hope he keeps shouting his message.

[Midlodemocrat]

14. Maybe he'll be the next Supreme Court Justice.

I love Edwards. I'm sorry to see him go...just as I was sorry to see Kucinich go.

[applegrove]

15. Sorry your guy didn't make it. He is young and can try again some day.

At the very least he'll get an important position in the Democratic administration I think.

[Flaxbee]

16. Me too, Parche

:cry: :cry: I didn't think I'd be this affected. I'm really, really bummed.

If misery loves company, here I am.

18. Hugs and beer from a Kucinich supporter.

Who knows what it's like.

[devilgrrl]

19. I'd would be sad too - if I weren't so PISSED!!!!

33. I go back and forth.... sad, mad, sad, mad....

I think I'm gonna go pop some pills....

[TK421]

22. It had to be the one who had my vote....I heard about it earlier today

what a frigging bummer :banghead: Now what do I have to choose from?

[FloridaJudy]

23. {{{{{{sigh}}}}}}

First Kucinich, now Edwards. I'm starting to wonder if my support isn't like a curse on my chosen candidates. :cry:

Oh well. Now to choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledee....

[KitchenWitch]

31. If that is the case, you best get a John McCain lawn sign!

:silly:

[Shakespeare]

24. The only thing keeping me going today is my....

....ex-libertarian, rabid Obama-supporting sweetie (who, thank god, is being understanding and supportive). :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Flatline]

26. I feel there is no reason to vote now....

am I Un-American because of that?

[LibraLiz1973]

29. No. Hopefully you (and I!) will get over it

But it is a HUGE blow

[LibraLiz1973]

27. Totally understand... right there with you

[Aristus]

30. Ladies and Gentlemen, DU-ers posting in this thread: A salute to the next Vice-President

of the United States!

:patriot:

[femmocrat]

32. I feel even worse after seeing that gorgeous photo of him.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

[martymar64]

34. I'm in despair

This plus other things have been adding up.

Eating a bullet is sounding more and more like a good solution. Pills are unreliable and hanging looks too painful. Nothing more quick and effective than a 45 calibar hole in my head.

[S n o w b a l l]

35. As a die hard Edwards supporter who refuses to give up...

He said he was "suspending his campaign" not withdrawing. Also he's not endorsing anyone. Maybe he's not finished? That's my hope. And I'm continuing to support him. I've already contributed to his campaign and will again. I refuse to believe he's done.

[Greylyn58]

36. I feel your pain

I've been crying all day. This just seems unreal to me.

[Zoigal]

37. Still hope that he will be a

running mate for one of the candidates...just finished voting
for him on my absentee ballot, too.
