Nooooooo! Come back, Johnny!

ARGH!

I mean, really.

Salon commented that Edwards' suspension speech was "maybe the speech he'd been missing." Well, excuse, me, but fuck that, Salon!. It's the same things he's been saying since the beginning, the things I reported on from Iowa (and here), the things he's said over and over about the two Americas, about fighting for the working-class and poor, about corporations taking over politics.

Did you know he came in second in the number of delegates in Iowa? No? Gee, I wonder why you might not know that. I watched in disbelief the night of the caucuses as the networks ignored Edwards to focus on Clinton's third-place finish. And they never, ever mentioned him again.

Sad day. I'll fight for either of the other candidates, but ... damn.
