That was surprising. It also means Edwards probably is running pretty low on cash after this.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Edwards gets 4 percent in Nevada, and now finishes third in his birth state, after outspending the rest of the field there. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I don't see how he goes on. Is anyone going to send him a check now? And seems to me money is more important in the next 10 days than it has been in the past. In these one-at-a-time contests, a less financed candidate can still do something with retail politics. But all these states at once, and it turns more into an advertising campaign.</description></item><item><title>Edwards fights on</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/26/612863.aspx#613222</link><pubDate>Sun, 27 Jan 2008 03:55:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:613222</guid><dc:creator>S.

Bush and the Devil's Advocate Dick (Haliburton) Cheney. &amp;nbsp;Obama also has been beholding to corporate interests. While he talks a good game, he too will support his prior corporate sponsors. &amp;nbsp;The only person who will really represent the interests of common folk is John Edwards. &amp;nbsp;As long as the corporate media feeds Obama and Clinton as the only choice, America will lose. &amp;nbsp;This is a battle for the soul of America, and the answer is John Edwards.</description></item><item><title>Edwards fights on</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/26/612863.aspx#613499</link><pubDate>Sun, 27 Jan 2008 06:06:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:613499</guid><dc:creator>Mark, Columbus, OH</dc:creator><description>0 wins, 4 losses. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Has the Edwards campaign become more about him and less about the people he says that he cares about ?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;How can Edwards expect to win the Democratic nomination when he can't win a single primary - finishing a narrow second in one, and third (essentially last) in the others ?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It's time for Edwards to gracefully bow out of this race.</description></item><item><title>Edwards fights on</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/26/612863.aspx#613545</link><pubDate>Sun, 27 Jan 2008 06:57:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:613545</guid><dc:creator>peter williamson dawson creek B.C</dc:creator><description>I have listened to the 3 democratic candidate all go on about government healthcare gov subsidized mortgages and positive changes that all sound great, what I have not heard yet is how any of these dreams can possibly be realized given the mind numbing hundred of trillions of debt that is owed at this time.Is it realistic to promise these cadillac dreams when &amp;nbsp;your behind on the 3 hummers in your driveway </description></item><item><title>Edwards fights on</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/26/612863.aspx#613554</link><pubDate>Sun, 27 Jan 2008 07:10:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:613554</guid><dc:creator>Paul Sutton, Morrison, CO</dc:creator><description>The Iraq war: Halliburton, Blackwater, and the whole industrial complex like.

I wish Edwards would drop out, become Obama's VP, so America would have a chance to finally change.

It's time to put it to an end. The fact that people have really fallen for their dirty Washington political smears, the fact that people really believe Billary represents change breaks my heart. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But what breaks my heart the most is that, as a life long Democrat, if Billary wins the nomination, I'll be forced to vote Republican.

John Edwards is the only one who has not taken money from the health industry. Hilary is first in donations from them, Obama is second, with both getting more than any Republican. Do not let the mainstream media marginalize our best hope.Bite back February 5th, 2008. Wake up America!</description></item><item><title>Edwards fights on</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/26/612863.aspx#617131</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 08:14:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:617131</guid><dc:creator>Deb, Los Angeles, CA</dc:creator><description>Edwards isn't taking a dime from corporate lobbyists or PACs, so the corporate owned media tried to make him invisible, even after he came in 2nd in Iowa. &amp;nbsp;Edwards is the only candidate who OPPOSES expanding NAFTA to protect American jobs. &amp;nbsp;Clinton and Obama are for it. &amp;nbsp;Edwards has a true universal health care plan, while Clinton's won't even start until the end of her 2nd term, and Obama's plan leaves millions without healthcare. &amp;nbsp;Edwards is the only candidate against nuclear energy. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Edwards fights on</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/26/612863.aspx#617521</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 15:20:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:617521</guid><dc:creator>Sharion Hardaway, Bradenton, Florida</dc:creator><description>Keep going, John. &amp;nbsp;I voted for you in the Florida Primary today even though my vote doesn't count. &amp;nbsp;I voted for you because I think you are the best person for the job. &amp;nbsp;I also took other things into consideration. &amp;nbsp;When will the Democrats get a clue. &amp;nbsp;Hello!! &amp;nbsp;John McCain will win the Republican nomination and then the presidency because a woman or a black man cannot win at this time. &amp;nbsp;I wish it were not so but it is. Not prejudice, just fact. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Edwards fights on</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/26/612863.aspx#618729</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:45:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:618729</guid><dc:creator>Anthony, Tallahassee FL</dc:creator><description>Democrats are fortunate to have well qualified candidates across the board. I'm afraid however that Obama/Hillary is a loss for us in the general election. Period! So enjoy the ride now because come November we can all go back to being losers.....</description></item></channel></rss>
