John Edwards, we hardly knew ye (except your family's history of working in mills)

Poor Giuliani. This morning's NYTimes Online had a big photo of him and McCain and a huge headline about how Giuliani was dropping out and endorsing McCain.

Then, of course, John Edwards' bowing out leaked, and suddenly the big photo was a large and flattering shot of Edwards looking patriotic and vivacious. After all, Giuliani is a has-been now and McCain is so old he's practically dead. Why not show Edwards? Hey, maybe someone will make him the VP candidate again? There's no denying he's great at shaking hands and kissing babies, and I imagine he's got a little less pride on that score than either Clinton or Obama would have if the other extended that sort of invitation.

Ah well. Got to love the American political system. Just think! Only a few days more until Super Tuesday, which will no doubt perpetuate a knockdown dragout fight until the end of August! Then another knockdown dragout fight until the beginning of November! Joy of joys.
