John Edwards Drops Out

Ah, the demagogue who would be king has seen the futility of his ways.  Mr Edwards failed to inspire a wide following because  he was primarily an issues campaigner.  Certainly his policies attracted a loyal core of policy-oriented supporters, but his attempts at image building came across as tepid and lame.  Let's face it, poverty is not sexy. And rabble-rousing doesn't qualify as inspiration.  How are you going to persuade people to vote their 401(k)s down the toilet?  If only he had kept it vague and fluffy he might have had a chance.  At least now he can go back to his regular hairdresser.
