barking_iguanaI believe John Edwards would have been the best nominee. But Like Senator Edwards, I realized it was not to be.
Had he stayed in the race, we faced the prospect of a nominee who lacked the support of a majority of the primary electorate. And even if it turned out that a majority of us found the nominee acceptable, there would be many on the losing side who would not believe that. By allowing Senators Obama (my choice) and Clinton to enter a two-person race, Senator Edwards has done the party a great service, increasing our likelihood of bringing sanity, legality, and compassion back to the Presidency, no matter who is our candidate in November.
