Edwards says he's still going for the gold so I don't see him bowing out just yet. I feel so bad for him because people usually act as if he's not a contendor!
I remember watching a clip from (what I believe is either an interview with all three or the debate) and Obama says we have a woman, a black, and John. WTF!? Well at least people can refer to him by his name and not by a category!
Have we not reached beyond this point? Apparently not...as a woman, you're a vajayjay and breasts and as a black person you're a big 'ol pile of brown skin. I was so excited that I would have a 3 great choices, then I was confused because yes, there was the whole gender race issue for me as a young black woman, but now I just want someone who can see beyond right now and I feel like Edwards and Clinton have overall been doing a better job, although I think the media is doing a lot to affect perceptions with Obama. I'm also very concerned regarding the media and the black community with this election.
