Unfortunately Melissa McEwan, affectionately known as Shakes by her readers, has decided to resign from the Edwards Campaign.

Shakes was part-time technical advisor, not a paid writer.

I regret to say that I have also resigned from the Edwards campaign. In spite of what was widely reported, I was not hired as a blogger, but a part-time technical advisor, which is the role I am vacating.

I would like to make very clear that the campaign did not push me out, nor was my resignation the back-end of some arrangement made last week. This was a decision I made, with the campaign's reluctant support, because my remaining the focus of sustained ideological attacks was inevitably making me a liability to the campaign, and making me increasingly uncomfortable with my and my family's level of exposure.

I think this is a very sad turn of events, and I'm deeply disappointed that Donohue's rabble-rousing was successful.

Go wish her well, if you're so inclined.
