14. I really don't think those were his words .....
"Let history blaze its path" - oh please. It made no sense that just days after Edwards said that he was in it until the convention, that fighting poverty was the cause of his life, that he would drop out 6 days before Super Tuesday. No, I don't have proof that he was pushed out, but it was rather amazing that Ted Kennedy announced that he was endorsing Obama within days. He says that Obama reminds him of Bobby, which is interesting considering that Robert Kennedy, Jr. had already endorsed Clinton weeks before And Howard Dean has certainly been throwing his weight around as well. So I think that considerable pressure was put on Edwards to leave the race before Super Tuesday because they thought that would allow Clinton or Obama to seal the deal, AND THEY WERE WRONG!!!! Now things are more messed up than ever, because on issues and experience, we have two candidates that really aren't all that different. But one is FEMALE and one is (half) BLACK! That's what the MSM latched onto.
