I really admire Edwards supporters
I have to admire Edwards supporters for their tenacity and committment. I got all weak-kneed and panicky when my candidate lost New Hampshire. What a wuss I am. I could use some Edwards backbone.

No snark here, no condescension. Just a bit o' respect.

Cheers.

1. Smile. I got weak-kneed and panicky when John wound up
below 20% in NH - that had been my hope. I am with him all the way... however far that is.

7. Well, the way I see it is, these are 2 states, there are 48 more, and Edwards, almost without $....
... was able to get as many votes as he did. That's pretty damned good!!! Who knows what will happen?

9. Yep
Pretty darned good for someone the media has shut out, and who spent so much "less" than the other two.

I really have to laugh at all the people on this site who keep calling for Edwards to "drop" out after only 2 states! I wonder what they would say if their candidate was what, like 7 behind the leader? Would they switch to "another" candidate? I doubt it! :evilgrin:

I am with John Edwards all the way, no matter what. I know what he stands for, I still don't know for sure what Obama or Hillary stands for!

11. Everyone asking for Edwards to drop out, does so because they support a diff candidate of course
And they don't ask him to drop out for his own good. :-)

8. Thanks!
I put 22 Obama supporters on ignore today because they couldn't just be cool and respect that we have our own candidate. Anyone who has the courage to support the supporters of a struggling candidate is a good person in my book.

Cheers! :cheers:

Keep your chin up if things get rough.

12. I agree. And the Edwards supporters are mostly positive, too.
I like JE and will vote for him in the GE.

19. I'm sticking with John all the way
And as far as how he wins the nomination, i've got no frigging clue.

So i'm hoping that Obama will realize that the Edwards/Obama ticket it a winner.

BTW Edwards is the only one that can beat Mccain

24. He does do well against McCain
He and Obama poll best against him, with JE having the advantage.

29. Well most JE Supporters (i think) would pick Obama as 2 choice
BUT we (most) of US - will Stick with Him to the END! we have dug in are feet so to speak - for I believe are Best Chance - to win the General

Remember - only two States have Voted - Long Way to GO

Best of Luck - to Obama (and Yes Hillary) Supporters - Let's not forget the "BIG PICTURE"

John Edwards 2008

30. You never know
If anything, this cycle should prove to be unpredictable. I would not be unhappy if JE were nominated.

31. Cheers!
By and large, Edwards supporters are progressive pragmatists.

And we're used to losing. That's why we take it well.
