Edwards did not cry when he came in second in Iowa after having polled low all summer and got no press recognition. The NY Times managed to write an editorial on the Iowa caucuses and did not mention Edwards once, although they mentioned Hillary who came in third. Don't you think Edwards was sad? Did he look down during the debate the other night? No, he looked up. He was firm on his message. That is strength. Hillary needs to realize that only one person will win. It might or might not be her.
Edwards was smart enough not to go to that dinner the other night. Apparently it was packed with Obama supporters. I understand they booed Hillary at that dinner. I am an Edwards supporter, but it is rude to boo someone. The Hillary people claim that they booed other candidates (Edwards if I am not mistaken) at the Nevada debate. I recall all the gleeful posts on DU after that debate -- Ohh see how they booed . . . . It was Hillary's turn to get booed. Booing is uncouth, discourteous, bad behavior at political events where all speakers are Democrats. Boo Bush all you want, but don't boo any of our candidates. The Obama supporters would be out of place to boo Hillary at that event. But then, maybe that was her karma.
If you notice, Edwards has reminded us and, no doubt most of all himself and his family, that when the primaries are over all the candidates will be OK. They go on with their lives. If Hillary does not win, she can play a major role bringing her version of
"change" into the Senate. Edwards will also go on with his life. So will Obama. This race is about which candidate will be best for the American people.
Face it, all the candidates are exhausted. These early fast-track primaries are grueling. It's a circus not a deliberative process.
