The Untimely Demise of the Edwards Campaign

John Edwards ran a valiant campaign and he championed a great cause, but apparently he just is not what the American people are looking for in a President. That being said, I think John Edwards will make an awesome Vice-President with Barack Obama and I fully anticipate Barack Obama choosing John Edwards as his running mate.
I think that perhaps John Edward's campaign was too narrowly focused on the poor and this was a limitation for his campaign and it sort of pigeon-holed him and kept him from garnering a wider base of constituents. His cause was a necessary and noble cause and we definitely need someone in the Oval Office to help the poor in this country, and I'm hopeful that Barack Obama will carry that torch to the White House when he is elected President.
John Edwards lived about a mile from my house in Raleigh for many years and I felt like I should be supporting John Edwards, but I think John did not play his cards right, I think he should have stayed in the Senate for several terms and waited before throwing his hat into the presidential race. You have to admire his courage and ambition, you know what they say; no guts, no glory.
