Yeah -- I'm Pissed

[Yael]

There is not (that I have seen) a single person in our party against John Edwards or, more specifically, his message.

Side note -- If you do believe that the fight against poverty is a bad thing -- take it to anncoulter.com or hannity.com because I have no room for you in my tent.

So why am I pissed?

Because of the timing of the suspension/drop -- he has been relegated to the trash dump of "Rudy and John leave the race" as if they were two peas in some fringe pod as opposed to Mayor 911 running on media steam and the "People's Candidate" running on anything but.

I swear, it if wasn't for Comedy Central and the constant stream of Law & Order reruns (yep, love em) on TNT & A&E, I would toss this teevee right throught the window.

3. If you are pissed about the timing, you should be pissed at Edwards

not the media.

4. I understand. I felt that way in 2004 with Clark. I knew he wanted to stop the fucking war...

He was a general for christ's sake, not a politician.

He didn't want to be president. He just wanted to save the country some pain.

I was for Edwards. Don't ask me how, but I knew he wanted to bust up the power of the corporations and give some power and money back to the people. He was a good and honorable candidate.

I have become more and more and more convinced that Obama is the one to vote for. I wish, I only wish I could talk to you face to face -it's quite impossible in this format -no facial gestures, no ability to adjust or really communicate - but there it is. I'm telling you. Obama is the person to vote for. History. He is a good, good man who will make a historical impact for the side of the progressives like us.

Please vote for him in the secure knowledge he will listen to us and the Edwards message.
