Will Edwards have any surprises today? Something unexpected?
Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 10:30 AM by Armstead
Will he reveal something unforeseen, beyond his decision to leave the race?

Perhaps (God forbid) bad medical news?

Or will he perhaps say he is dropping out of active campaigning, but remain as a passive candidate?

Or perhaps say "I'm not dropping out of the race." (Remember 2000 when it was assumed that Bush had won instantly when the MSM got carried away by sloppy rush-job reporting?)

Or will he throw his support to HC or BO? Or some other possibility that might shake up the dynamic of the race in a way that is not expected?

Maybe he'll say "Upon reflection, I have decided to throw my full support behind John McCain." or "Lee Mercer is my guy." ........(Hold your fire. This last paragraph is a joke.)

Any predictions as to how this will play out as the day goes on?

1. I'm thinking that he realized that he wasn't going to win so struck some...
sort of deal with Obama. Just a quess.

2. I'm still holding out that it's a giant ploy for the media attention he seems to be lacking!
May be wishful thinking on my part.

3. lol
I'm hoping this falls under Al's "unforeseen" definition. How's that for hope against hope. LOL

4. Yesterday I was saying that he should
leak it out that we was going to drop out. That would get all the media here. Then tell everyone there there is not way he is every going to quit.

I doubt that is what's going to happen, but one can hope....
