Is John Edwards in Witness Protection?

John Edwards, former U.S. Senator from North Carolina, ended his presidential run on January 30.  He ended his campaign in New Orleans' Ninth Ward, the same place where he announced his second run for president on December 27, 2006. 

A day or two after dropping out of the race, Edwards and his wife Elizabeth appeared at the closing of his campaign headquarters in Chapel Hill.   Nothing has been posted on his  campaign Web site since Jan. 30.

Remaining democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have met with Edwards, hoping to gain his endorsement and the 18 delegates from South Carolina, Iowa and New Hampshire.

There was widespread speculation both Obama and Clinton offered Edwards' a cabinet position (attorney general).

Since then, Edwards has rarely (I can't remember any) appeared in public.  I'm certain the exile is self-imposed, but has he waited so long that he's lost some of his clout as a party leader?

Granted, I'm light years from Edwards' inner circle, but we live in a world of perceived reality.  

Is Edwards waiting until closer to the May 6 primary here in North Carolina?  There's just something unusual about quiet politicians, even those who are no longer candidates.

In addition to being light years from Edwards' inner circle, I need to spend more time watching fake news. Edwards appeared last week on 'The Colbert Report.' I'd share the YouTube link with you, but Viacom (Comedy Central's parent company) pulled the clip because of possible copyright infringement. I still stand by the substance of my blog. That's what I get for not watching enough television.

Don't worry, Alan.....Just before the Elections (if Hillary looks like she might have a chance) his wife will have a SUDDEN IMPROVEMENT, thereby reinvigorating him enough to accept the nomination to Cabinet...God spoke to him in a dream, and told him he had alot to yet offer the "American People"...

It may all be true, also, but I still wouldn't let the fool walk my dog without adult supervision.....

I don't hate the man, I just don't trust him.....he is a Lawyer....

Oh I am sure a couple of Corporate Law suits will bankroll him and pay off some debt in time to accept the nomination for VP.

I not only do not trust him, I have no trust in any of them, in both parties. They all are on the take.

As bad as times are now...they are about to get much worse.

Did Edwards ever have any real clout? He could not even help John Kerry by winning his own state in the last election. When he was elected by NC, he spent that time running around trying to get people to support him for President. He didn't do much for the people of NC. I don't think I would want him to back me if I was running for President. I think it would hurt the candidate more than help them.

I never would have thought $2.75 per gallon gas felt good, but it looks great right now.

I dont know much about Edwards......but folks his wife has cancer. I know what she is going thru & we all need to pray she does have a miracle happen & she does improve.
What a blessing that would be for her & her family. They do have children who love their mom. As for his politics, I would surly not like to see HillyBilly in with Edwards is any capacity. I think she could corrupt anyone.

I'll probably go McJohn this year, but it's real hard to trust (read: BELIEVE) any of them.....

Politics is what it is..... but by it's very nature,they can't promise to deliver what they WANT to do.....

Why do they even bother to tell us all about it, then everybody gets all pissed off when we point out an accepted fact?

Alot of people DON'T have their heads in the sand, but Family Dollar musta had a helluva sale on rose colored glasses.....
