In the early stages of grief, I wanted to blame every thing and every body. In the end, though, I know that many factors contributed to the end of the campaign.

You are right. I knew it long before he finally made it official. I held out hope. I worked by behind off trying to make it not true. But, I saw the loss of momemtum. I saw us not making enough progress. I talked to many many Kerry people and knew we would probably never beat him in Tennessee. I really thought we could top Edwards, though. Oh, well. That didn't happen either.

And I have never blamed John Edwards. Just b/c I don't believe he is the best remaining candidate does not mean that I blame him for losing my top candidate.

For the record, some of his supporters on here certainly give as good as they get. And THAT started long ago. I got so sick of their constant whining about Clark hurting Edwards. If he would only drop out, they could do better. THEY were the ones who portrayed a sense of entitlement, not Clark.
