I wish someone would ask Edwards how he expects the nation to support him for president this year when he could not even convince voters in his home state to support him for VP in 2000? His failure to call N.C., and Gore's failure to carry Tenn., helped elect George Bush. It's enough to make anyone cry!

Pernold-Young is a plant.

This is from Marianne Pernold-Young's professional website: " . . . For our fifth Photo Gallery we proudly present a previously unpublished collection of scenes by Marianne Pernold-Young of Portsmouth. Born in Vienna, Marianne came to the USA at the age of ten. She began her professional photo career in 1972 as a Washington, DC freelancer and chronicled the campaign of President Jimmy Carter . . . "

jerk.

NOTE: You can tell which posts are from the Hillary operatives (and make no mistake, they're all over these boards), by they way the formatting is messed up. They are furiously cutting and pasting their spin spam everywhere.

For example: Mark F and Junebug exactly the same post.

It's over folks... your time has past. Your brand of politics has been rejected, and it's time for a new generation.

Apparently Edwards doesn't want any women voting for him....

What a jerk.

Seriously...its no wonder we've never had a woman president, when jerks like Edwards are considered viable Democratic candidates. This guy is supposed to be a liberal!

Who's the desperate one now?

EC - Good call.

What a joke. I think Edwards has jumped the shark here. The official end of the Edwards campaign. I guess he probably doesn't get emotion at all, he is the one running for President when his wife is dying.

In this case, Hillary has been undone, over time, by Hillary herself.

She's spent so long running for President (17 years) doing whatever publicly and privately to achieve power and hold onto it, a truly unbiased person would have to conclude no one has been introduced to the "real" Hillary, other than her "inner circle".

So, unless you fervently support her or cannot stand her, no one can truly tell if the tears were real or a last-minute desperate ploy for the women's vote that's going to Obama.

junebug is right. imagine how it feels to have spent most of your life fighting for progressive causes, facing a constant double standard as a strong woman, and then having to listen to John Edwards (who accomplished nothing in his time in the Senate)describe himself as an agent of "change" while dismissing you as the "status quo." His remarks also betray his sexism. Bush tears up all the time and I have never heard Edwards challenge him on that basis. HRC may not win and she has her faults but she is not the phony monster that the right wing spin machine has portrayed. She is a public servant.

Anyone who cannot see thru this act is blinder than a blind bat. $20 says it was a planted question. And c'mon folks, for this little charade to just spontaneously occur a day before the NH primary???

Obviously planned and faker than fake. I think NH voters will see this as the pathetic ruse that it was, and it's more likely to hurt her than help her.

Hillary - Yesterday's Gone!

Who's Hillary????????

Mark F and Junebug do not have exactly the same post. Mark F supports Obama. And Junebug double-posted, 8 seconds apart.

Sigs are at the bottom. Mine is FSE.

Edwards sure has shown his true colors the past several days. Claiming .3% victory over Hillary is a mandate she drop out of the race, kissing on Obama's rear on Saturday after he spent the last week stomping him into the mud, and now calling Hillary, in essence, "a crybaby". He sounds like a clinging, selfish child now to whoever is in 1st place. It's also sad that his populist message runs so afoul with his $107 million in earnings.

Edwards had my sympathies and possibly my vote at the beginning of this contest, but no more. If Hillary's rivals cheer now that she is weak, Edwards' and, to some extent, Obama's 'gang up' and 'bully' mentalities doesn't sound much like change that will be good for women, let alone this country.

To Marion Wright:
You are correct. The HRC we saw at the debate Saturday is the real Hillary. But so is the Hillary we saw today. If you, Marion, had ever worked so hard for so long on someone else's behalf, you,too, may become angry when your record is distorted. And if your temperment meter wasn't frozen on"hate and cynicism", you may come to understand that passion often involves tears. That was true of every man who has ever held the office of President and it will no doubt be true of the next occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
As for Edwards, I support him no more. He has shown that his capacity to be compassionate wanes when it involves a competitor and there is nothing more callous than that.

Count how many times the word jerk is used to describe Edwards on this page! funny! When did he become so venomous - he's the only Democrat running a negative campaign.

John Edwards said he didn't have anything to say. He's right for once. He doesn't have anything to say so he should shut the **** up.

I was waiting for his wife to weigh in and she didn't disappoint with her "teary eyes" remark.

Up to now, I have always admired John Edwards as genuine and sincere. However, his comments today on Clinton's "tears" were incredibly insensitive and inappropriate. What is this, the dark ages??? Tears and crying do not make a person weak. So what if she cried? Big deal! Focus on the more important factors in this campaign like the Economy, healthcare, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and the overall negative opinion the rest of the world seems to feel for the United States. We have serious issues and you're all going on about some tears. Let's keep our eye on the ball.

I was waiting for his wife to weigh in and she didn't disappoint with her (ha) sympathetic "watery eyes" remark.

These two deserve each other.

Can't say it often enough but I do apologize for the duplicate post.
