Edwards: Should he stay or go? (3 in series of 9)

Posted at 11:38 am on Thursday, August 28, 2003, in 2004 Election, and tagged bush, howard dean, john edwards, kerry.

Nine democrats are currently vying for the democratic nomination for President. This list may expand by 2 or 3 in the (near) future. Let’s take a look at the nine candidates and determine whether they should continue their earnest campaigns or bow out gracefully.

Third in the series: John Edwards should jump out of this race.

Edwards is still in the single-digits in polls in New Hampshire and Iowa. He is young and is possibly abandoning a vital Southern Senate seat. I can not stress this enough: keeping Edwards’ Senate seat is crucial to gaining the majority. Edwards is neither as well spoken as Dean nor as experienced as fellow colleague Senator Kerry. Edwards is “Clintonesque” but it’s time to nominate a Northern Democrat who will stand up to Texan Bush. Edwards should halt his campaign for President and start campaigning for re-election.
