Senator Edwards announced Wednesday that he was leaving the campaign, and although we think it is the right move it does not mean that it does not pain us to see him go. We think he will be around, and we hope he throws his support behind Senator Obama, who is the only candidate left who can bring the change to Washington that Senator Edwards spoke about.
During his campaign, Senator Edwards brought focus to issues that no one did before. He was the first one to offer a real plan for universal healthcare. He spoke for those whom no one else speaks for. The poor, the homeless, the veterans. In a time when everyone says "support the troops" he was the only one to shed light on the thousands of veterans who are homeless today. He understood and spoke of the poor because he was at one point one of them. He is the perfect American Dream. the poor boy from SC who grew up to make a difference.
We hope the Democrats learn from Senator Edwards and keep him in mind when they chose a running mate. IMHO John Edwards still has a lot to offer to this country. Mr Edwards... Thank You.
