“It’s time for me to step aside so that history can — so that history can blaze its path.” Now extinguished, a sentence-long-eulogy on Edwards' candidacy: whereas Clinton, and gradually, Obama, have shown their inevitable tendancy towards moderation, I would venture to say that it was Edwards' true core boldness of vision, of plan, and of visible passion--on anti-poverty, on refocusing policy on the middle-class, on healthcare--that consistently forced H.C. & B.O. to catch up with more liberal stances and leftist platforms of their own. For sakes, please don't go back to devolving into halfway-conservatives now that the guy that grew up on a mill isn't around no more.. That strategy will NOT get Republicans finally out of the Whitehouse--haven't we learned that already in 2004?? Come out and assert your spines (from now until November), say what you mean and people will listen, instead of walking on eggshells like an unattractive donkey ass.
Though love letters have been slipped from both sides, Edwards has not endorsed either Clinton or Obama as of this moment; so what next? Seems like Obama's begun hurling a few verbal dampers to the other camp: writes the Associated Press, "Obama said Wednesday a Hillary Rodham Clinton presidency would be a step back to the past," (POW!--turning her strong arm experience against her) and Barack's own words, "Democrats will win in November and build a majority in Congress not by nominating a candidate who will unite the other party against us..." (BAM!--kicking her where it hurts).
Instead, I wonder which are some of the real issues
that not-completely-decided voters would like elaboration on from Clinton & Obama, to help them decide in the next 5 days? On the right sidebar, I posted a poll for you, dear Reader, containing a list of my own making so you can click your own interest (it may direct the topics I seek out here on this blog). And as always, feel free to send links to good articles, ideas, and of course please do comment away!
