Tribute for John Edwards supporters
'One quiet day, with suddenness--like a sneaking natural disaster--totally unexpected, John Edwards, was ironically in the headlines. I saw it flashed in the CNN, "EDWARDS WITHDRAWING FROM THE RACE." My heart sank like the Titanic.

Exactly, in a manner that the media reporters had always wanted to blitz to America and to the world the news story of an obit of John Edwards candidacy, was an actuality on that ominous day on Jan. 30. I was imagining the corporatocracy and the mediatocracy beaming and rejoicing, while to the poor, the hapless, and the middle class of America grieved.'

2. The elite have so many choices and resources to brace the
effects of day to day living. John Edwards was our voice. I will vote for him in my primaries.

3. My heart sank too
And he was supposed to be at my state party's JJ dinner that very night.
It wasn't a happy occasion for me to say the least.
