"Unfortunately for Mr. Edwards, the willingness of his rivals to emulate his policy proposals made it hard for him to differentiate himself as a candidate; meanwhile, those rivals had far larger financial resources and received vastly more media attention. Even The Times’s own public editor chided the paper for giving Mr. Edwards so little coverage.
And so Mr. Edwards won the arguments but not the political war.

Where will Edwards supporters go now? The truth is that nobody knows.
Yes, Mr. Obama is also running as a “change” candidate. But he isn’t offering the same kind of change: Mr. Edwards ran an unabashedly populist campaign, while Mr. Obama portrays himself as a candidate who can transcend partisanship — and given the economic elitism of the modern Republican Party, populism is unavoidably partisan.
One thing is clear, however: whichever candidate does get the nomination, his or her chance of victory will rest largely on the ideas Mr. Edwards brought to the campaign."

AMEN!!!!!!!
Of course my vote will go to the Democratic nominee. A a vote for the Republican nominee (McCain) would be a 100 year war, and I'm not willing enough to live poor and vote rich.

When Obama and Clinton jumped on the Edwards platform after he dropped out kind of shows how dumb we democrats are. It means the two left in the democratic race can not make a cognitive thought among themselves.
