There is one clear factor that points to Edwards winning the presidency....
Obviously it would be a tough road to hoe, considering Obama is on fire and he doesn't have a ton of money etc. I wasn't ready to dismiss the guy after he took second in Iowa or anything, but I realize he still has an uphill fight.

Then I was reading the NY Times the next day and saw that David Brooks wrote this: "John Edwards political career is over."

And if there is one thing I know, one force greater than any other, it's that when David Brooks spews out an opinion on Dem Party politics, well, it's almost assuredly going to end up wrong.

So David Brooks says Edwards is done. That probably means he's not.

1. David Brooks WANTS John Edwards' career to be over.
Very telling. The corporate masters are very afraid of a John Edwards' candidacy. They know
they can manipulate both Hillary and Obama.

2. the ReThugs are stealing the Election in the primaries, it is set up.. they will nominate a candidat
that can't win or a president they can destroy and we are falling for it..

notice Obama was first and Hillery was 3rd... no mention of Edwards.. he is someone they are very afraid of.. he is the only not already owned by the status quo

read the shock doctrine.. explains it all.. disaster capitalism is a self perpetuating cancer that will enslave us all ..edwards is the only candidate aware of that

3. I'm afraid you're grasping at straws.
Unless Edwards pulls out a second tomorrow, he really is out of this race.
