Edwards gets half of frontpage of NYT, above the fold -- after dropping out.

[DeepModem Mom]

How his campaign would have liked such coverage earlier! (I posted quite a few articles about Edwards, however, from the Times -- and this is a great photo of Elizabeth and Jack.)

1. Nailed it.

Now that he's out, the MSM is permitted to speak his name.

5. "Now that he's out, the MSM is permitted to speak his name."

True, but its also MSM outlet that has endorsed Hillary and is sucking up to Edwards to try and help her.

17. CORPORATE AMERICA WON YESTERDAY! THAT IS WHY EDWARDS GOT COVERAGE VICTORY LAP!

:puke:

[Beausoir]

2. Ironic. n/t

[redqueen]

3. *sigh*

[ingac70]

4. If Edwards wanted to be a player in the race...

He would have skipped public financing and dug into his own pocket. That's my opinion anyway.

[Hieronymus]

11. So much for the status quo .. buying elections ... Edwards wanted change.

[ingac70]

12. It takes money to get the message out...

sad but true.

[Hieronymus]

18. By suggesting that Edwards should finance his own campaign ..

you're saying that only the rich can run for the office of president.
That's what Edwards is against.

19. These posts of yours -

a/k/a "bullshit" -

are proof of why we need Edwards so much.

[Beaverhausen]

13. yeah, because we only want wealthy people running for president

:eyes:

[ingac70]

15. Whatever...

Barack Obama is hardly wealthy compared to Edwards, same goes for Hillary.

Edwards wasn't getting enough donations, and boxed himself in by choosing public funding.

There are two Americas. Guess which one John Edwards went back to yesterday? Not mine or yours.

21. Obama is a pauper

He's worth $3 million and rising while the Clintons are worth $34 million and raking in about $10 million a year.

6. Makes me queasy.

Bastards.

:mad:

[mac56]

7. Un. Freakin'. Believable.

:grr:

[Marlie]

8. I'm going to miss John and his family so much

I pray he will still be active in our party. Attorney general, anything, just so I get to hear
him and be reminded of what could have been and allow me to have some hope for the future. What
the MSM and pundits have done to him is unforgivable and I truly believe the Empire will fall.
He was my only hope for real change for our Country.

9. A week ago the media was saying he was irrelevant

Now they dedicate front page stories to him, talk about how important his endorsement could be, the importance of where his supporters will go, and how he set the agenda and pushed HillBama to the left. :eyes:

[DeepModem Mom]

10. You're right -- all those things have generated stories and coverage since yesterday. nt

[Kajsa]

14. Not so in our "wonderful" LA Times

this morning.

John's stepping down got a 1x2" article
on the front page, towards the bottom.

They are STILL ignoring him!

:grr:

[dajoki]

16. Where were the bastards...ahh, forget it n/t

[JuniperLea]

20. He would have had plenty of media coverage...

If he had engaged in the same schoolyard bully tactics "The Other Two" have subscribed to.

This is sickening.
