I wonder if Edwards 'suspended' his campaign because he was excluded from the debate tomorrow?

'Suspended' is an unusual word for 'ending' a campaign for president.

Did the filthy corrupt media tell him he cannot attend the debates tomorrow - just like they did Kucinich in Nevada?

Notice how all the kooks in the repuke party can participate like Paul? But if you fuck with corporate america - you are pulled?

6. Because I know. He might have been largely ignored but he was definitely supposed to be there

there is going to be a huge rally outside of the theatre tomorrow. Impeachment people, Code Pink, Hillary and I assume Obama people are going to be there. We Edwardians were too...

8. Well I won't argue the point as I just pondered the question...

I am/was a Kucinich then a Edwards supporter...

I am sadden to think that no real progress will be made in the next four years - after we all have held our patriotic breath for the last seven years...

I hope america lives...

2. Suspended is NOT an unusual word

It allows the candidate to disburse funds, and pay his staff.

9. Exactly... Suspending allows him to collect the matching Fed $$

he is entitled to, to settle his campaign debt. That's all.

3. I think he might have stayed in of he'd broken 15% in Florida

But its just a hunch.

5. But Florida Was Meaningless

it was just for show. The candidates didn't campaign here and there are no delegates being awarded.

Why should that be the determining primary?

Maybe it was South Carolina and he just wanted some time to think it over and consider his options. He realized he had none and it just happened to be right after Florida's beauty contest.

7. Not at all meaningless. It's representative of things to come and

he needed to crack a certain percentage of the votes to grab delegates.
