Edwards Concedes ... Nothing

In introducing John Edwards to the stage to give another concession speech, Elizabeth Edwards gave no indication that her husband planned to bow out.
“Today we have taken steps, steps not as big as what we had wanted,” she said, adding “The goal is still in sight, and what is that goal? To make as our next President of the Unites States John Edwards.”
John Edwards was defiant.
“Tonight I congratulate Sen. Clinton and Sen Obama,” he said. “Two states down. 48 states left to go.”

Keep the bandwagon rolling for Edwards! Keith Olbermann has gotten the message, at least more than anyone else. Somehow Edwards has GOT to get more media attention. How can we help with that? I voted for him in 2004, and early on in this campaign, I saw him as my candidate again. And that wasn't easy, because in all my 75 years I don't recall Democrats ever having so many well-qualified, promising people running for president. And the diversity doors have opened much wider with a black, a woman and a hispanic (well, half hispanic anyway)and even an atheist, Dennis Kucinich, though he doesn't make a big point of it. Like most atheists, (I'm one) it seems silly to make a big deal out of NOT being something. But those diversity identifiers don't add or subtract anything from these amazingly fine candidates. Why is it so often feast or famine in presidential elections? Ha.
