Edwards Drops Out, Now its OBAMA!

John Edwards is Suspending his Presidential Campaign. This is very sad, Edwards and Kucinich were the most progressive Democratic candidates who tried to present a progressive alternative to the DLC/corporatists who have moved the Democratic Party away from the FDR legacy and embraced the Republican pro-business, pro-militarism politics of Reagan and Clinton. I cannot support Hillary Clinton because she is part of that conservative wing of the Democratic Party.

John Edwards was a great candidate. He focused on the issues of poverty, inequality, and the corporate greed that controls our media and political system. He was the first candidate to offer a workable "universal" health care plan, the first to offer an economic stimulus program, and the only main candidate to actually focus on the issues that matter to people. He was ignored by the media and largely by Democratic voters. It is a shame that voters do not support the candidates that deserve their support and continue to reward the political machinery and corporate media's chosen candidates.

I am now supporting Barack Obama! We need a real change from the Clinton/Bush era, and we need a candidate who can inspire the widest spectrum of voters and win the general election. That candidate is Barack Obama!

Hopefully Obama and Clinton will adopt Edwards populist message and challenge the corporate elite and stand up for the working class!
