He conducted himself with integrity and courage, and he spoke for working class Americans in a way in which no one outside of Dennis Kucinich had done.
I only threw my support to Edwards a few days ago, having felt a sense of loss since Biden dropped out. I had originally supported Kucinich, but he was going nowhere and Biden and Dodd had fought valiantly against Kyl-Lieberman and that horrible telecom amnesty in the FISA bill.
Now that Edwards has dropped out, I have ran out of candidates to support. I will support Obama despite my disgust with his rubbing elbows with "cured" LGBTs. I have to balance that aspect of Obama with the Clintons' track record of throwing LGBTs under the bus.
You should all be proud of the way Edwards campaigned!
As a former Bidenite, I wish all of you well. Your support for Edwards in DU was honorable and commendable, and you did not turn anyone off by the rude behaviour we have seen from supporters of another candidate that shall remain nameless.
Let's not lose sight of November. The country can ill afford another four years of Republican rule.
Ciao!
