We Had a Good Run

Today, John Edwards announced that he would be stepping away from his presidential campaign "so that history can blaze its path". I can only respond by saying that we had a good run. Things could have been different if John wasn't in the shadows of the first possible female or African-American president. We gained support and made this campaign as strong as we could, but the ending was sour. All we can do is move on and be proud of the strides we made, the things we accomplished and the message we carried. As Dr. Seuss said, "don't cry because its over, smile because it happened".

As for this blog, it will not turn into 'The Daily Barack' or 'The Daily Hillary'. I will continue to update periodically with Edwards and One America Committee news. I will not campaign or work for another candidate, but I will support the Democratic nominee, whoever that turns out to be.

We should thank John for leading this campaign and for fighting for what was worth fighting for. Edwards was the best candidate for the job and put forth the boldest agenda for change for America in this race. We did our best. I was an Edwards supporter, I am an Edwards supporter and I will always be an Edwards supporter.

Thanks for reading,
