Poll question: edwards as an independant
Edited on Tue Feb-05-08 05:46 PM by fenriswolf
It seems suicide to "suspend" a campaign before super tuesday basically commiting suicide if he is going for the democratic nominee. So the only reason to suspend the campaign is to allow the people to nominate the democratic candidate without his interferance and once the primary is almost over he runs as an independant. Who is willing to vote for edwards?

*edit remember this is concerning the general

*edit i dont think so either just heard the idea and had a question.

5. its not suicide. If he suspends his campaign he
still controls delegates that are pledged to him. Also he can continue to recieve money and matching funds. He may have some debt and need time to clean up the finances, but I think it is the former. If it comes to a deadlocked convention every delegate will count.
