Bye Bye Edwards

John Edwards dropped his presidential bid today. It was inevitable, but regretful just the same. For all of Hillary's supposed experience and all of Obama's promises of change, only John Edwards brought real passion and sobering honesty to this campaign.

Four years ago I voted for him at my precinct caucus because he was the only choice left whose name wasn't John Kerry. But this time around I would have voted for him because he earned my respect and, thus, my vote.

So, Barack Obama it is. I'll proudly cast my vote for him.
