It sucks but the candidate I was rooting for in the race is out. I liked his messages and I liked his ideas. I thought that he stayed out of the useless cat and dog fight between Obama and Clinton. The only thing that kept Edwards from winning was more exposure by the media.

That is sad. The media by choosing who to air more of during a race can decide a race. All the talk of late has been Obama/Clinton and nothing about Edwards. The media basically decides whos going to win depending on who they are going to pick on and find things to bicker about.

Its sad that in a democracy where the people should have choice, their choices are indirectly taken away from them because the media chooses to provide unequal air time for individuals running for the same nomination. Every candidate who has bowed out has had the same problem. You can say what you want but Dennis Kucinich and Bill Richardson did not get fair air time in the debates. In order to hear their ideas you really had to pay attention and tune in for the whole debates.

Its unfortunate that the mainstream media in this country basically provides the attention for who they feel are the front runner instead of giving each candidate an equal share and an equal voice. Of course most of the media is controlled by a few coorporate giants and they will air who they feel will net them the most viewers.

I hope an independent gets into the general election, I hope Al Gore is paying attention and biding his time to get into this thing.
