Momentum... every competitor needs it to win his respective race. Those who would try to win the race to become the most powerful leader, that of the free world, are no exception. Sadly, John Edwards was unable to garner and sustain enough momentum to allow him to remain a viable Democratic candidate. After a disappointing third place finish in the South Carolina Democratic primary, Edwards decided to end his campaign.
With his unwaivering quest to elevate the economic status of America's poor and ensure health care for those who cannot currently afford it, no one doubts that Edwards would bring back prosperity to the U.S. Although the issues for which he crusaded were of considerable concern to most Americans, John Edwards simply lacked the universal appeal embodied by his fellow Democratic opponents, Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. All three spoke passionately about the same issues. The final consideration has become which candidate is more capable of defeating the Republican rival and turning around the swift moving seven year downward spiral of this beloved nation.
Will Edwards be chosen as the Vice Presidential running mate by the victorious Democratic Presidential candidate? Many who are closely watching the race think that it is unlikely. It seems to be widely believed that John Edwards has no desire to hold that position nor will he be likely to accept such an offer. Popular nationally syndicated radio talk show host Michael Baisden suggests that John Edwards would excel as the nations next Attorney General. Regardless of the capacity, it seems unquestionable that John Edwards has a consummate desire to serve his country in the political arena. Make no mistake, John Edwards is an invaluable asset to this country.
