What's next for John Edwards?

[Unsane]

Run for governor of NC? Senate seat? DNC chairman?

Personally, I think he'll retire from public life for a while in order to spend time with his family. Still relatively young, it'll be iteresting to see what he does next.

1. I think he's going to win the nomination. How many states are left now? nt

[MadBadger]

13. Really? What state will he compete in?

I'm not trying to be snarky, or condescending, but I dont understand what state he can win. He is now trailing back in third by 15 points in NC, and his birth state has him 25-30 points back of Obama.

14. I don't know, but I thought there were some states left. How many are left? nt

2. He has been Over-Obsessed with

becoming president for years, and needs to take a break.

[Armstead]

Unlike Clinton?

[SoFlaJet]

7. Not like Hillary Clinton

right? I mean this was just a crazy whim-she never even thought about it before declaring...

[saltpoint]

3. My guess is he shows up in Denver this fall with some very committed

delegates.

Which could make the nominee race real interesting on the convntion floor.

[Unsane]

6. perhaps

[SoFlaJet]

What, you mean

AFTER he wins the presidency in November?

[Armstead]

4. What I hope is next is the White House

[OzarkDem]

5. He's on the campaign trail

sorry but he's not out of the race.

[femmocrat]

8. Is the governorship of NC open?

It could give him the executive experience to build another presidential race on.... ??? :shrug: Or not.

I'm still praying for a miracle in Denver.

[Unsane]

9. Easley might not run for reelection

The problem is Edwards' apparent unpopularity in NC.

[onehandle]

10. DUers don't pay attention. He's going to the convention.

Sheesh!

[Unsane]

11. To do what?

[AndyA]

12. What's next? I think the Edwards family will be moving into the White House.

There are a lot of states that still haven't voted.

In case you haven't noticed, Edwards looks pretty good in a few of them. I think people are going to get sick and fed up with The Adventures of Barack and Hillary Show sooner or later, and when they do they will look elsewhere.

Obama has some rather ominous things coming out about his relationship with Rezko, which could be his undoing. If people perceive him to be dirty, he will lose support. And a lot of it will go to Edwards.

As the economy worsens in the coming weeks and months, people will desire change even more than they do now. Edwards is clearly the change candidate. The others say they are, but Edwards is the only one who has put his money where his mouth is.

When Hill and Barack give back all those donations from lobbyists to prove they're going to change the status quo in Washington, let me know...
