although he's stopped running for president, that didn't stop voters from selecting john edwards as their choice over clinton and obama
i was surprised to see on the local news that in illinois, edwards still pulled down 2% of the vote. that means that a tiny vocal minority of democrats are unhappy with clinton AND obama. i must confess, i voted for edwards myself, so it's nice to observe that there's a few other voters out there who understand how I feel. i see that edwards also got 5% in california, which was generous of the california voters.
note: although richardson has also pulled out of the race, he received no votes but had 4 delegates pledged to him in the election. so did clinton and obama, which means that the edwards campaign did a poor job of swaying the people who actually select the candidate.
