17. Yes, I think we should keep the group going.
Lots of good ideas and support here. We all have similar interests and stances on the issues.

It will be a nice place to come to escape all the other things going on in the other forums.

22. Thanks, smokey!
I appreciate the thoughts.

This started off as a bad day, before I even got the news, and nothing has gone right.

More losses, and I'm really cratering.

:hug: :yourock: :pals: :loveya:

23. Remember as long as I'm around, you're not alone.
I know I'm on the other side of the country, but if there's ever anything I can do or anything you need, please let me know.

25. Hah! I *thought* my ears were ringing!!
Yes, I need people now very badly.

But, that frightens me, as people tend to get threatened, then attack.

So many things cratered this morning, and I ..... well, I'm not allowed to say how it's affecting me.

I just can't care much anymore.

It hurts too much.

Thanks so much for caring.... you don't know how much that means to me!

7. I tried, and willed, and emailed, and wrote and called and tried and tried and tried.
But not enough listened.

I am so very sad.

8. I was making calls last night here in Los Angeles and had quite a few Edwards supporters
I'm really shocked they didn't wait at least until next week.

9. I know I know. You, and everyone else poured your heart and energies into working hard
for Edwards.

WE WERE NOT ENOUGH AND COULD NOT

HELP JOHN

OVER COME THE HISTORIC NATURE OF THIS RACE.

10. Listen folks - I went thru the same - it hurts and it sucks, especially when you
believe so passionately about a leader and this country.

Try to ignore the vultures out in GD-P who look at your support like carrion to be picked over for their benefit.

It's not easy - but, they just don't deserve the dignity of your attention.

Peace to all.

18. John made a huge difference
He won't be forgotten.

I feel as if my heart has been ripped from my body. Edwards was the only candidate I've ever supported with every fiber of my being.

The people on this forum have great ideas and wonderful hearts. We will need the refuge of each other, and we will need each other's support as we find a way to keep fighting.

30. I'm in shock!!!
I heard the news on freeway tonight and it hit me like a punch in the stomach. I cried the rest of the way home. All I could think of was to get to this forum for support. (It also pissed me off even more when the two people on the radio spent 10 minutes talking about how important John's influence was to the campaign. Where were you all these weeks??? It was even the LA progressive station no less.)

Now reading the posts of everyone here, makes me cry all over again. It's heartbreaking. :cry: :cry: :cry: And this IS a great group of people. :grouphug:

32. You couldn't find finer people than the Edwards people here on DU.
I'm proud of every one of them and proud to be a small part of it all.

Need to :cry: and be in :grouphug: and :beer: with you guys.

I woke up to a phone call from my husband. He delivered the bad news and I was worthless for the rest of the day. I feel worse than I did when election 2004 was stolen.

Thanks for being here.
