Very Disappointed
I was extremely disappointed with Edwards' comments about Melissa and Amanda. Yes he didn't fire them, but it was if he was scolding three year olds instead of actually standing up the the right wing nutters. I've thought about it all afternoon, hoping that I would see some reason to his actions, but I must say I still am just simply disappointed.
I wanted a more forceful rebuttal to those who themselves truly spread hate. I wanted him to take a stand, not simply try to smooth out the waves. I wanted him to back them up and not give the right wing any credence, but sadly I think he has done just that. As I said before I'm just extremely disappointed.
You can read Edward's comments here. Melissa and Amanda both made statements as well.
I don't know where this leaves me right now in my support for Edwards. To be honest he's a bit tarnished in my eyes and sadly there isn't anyone in the current list of contenders that can step into that void.

I was disappointed as well, by what he said and by the mediocre structure of the statement. If it's an indication of his writing talent, he'd better be glad he kept his bloggirls -- especially Melissa, who is an amazing wordsmith.

Okay, I've been in training classes at work for the past two weeks. I kinda saw something was afloat with those two blogging for Edwards. I was wondering how long it would take for isht to hit the fan. I'm just glad he had sense enough not to can them. His campaign would crash and burn if he did.

Melissa definitely has a way with words! She's brilliant!
I'm not sure that his campaign isn't going to crash and burn anyway. I think they've marked him. I'll readily admit I'm not as thrilled with him as I was before. I really am hoping that Gore will run.
