Edwards was never a factor after he lost Iowa, a state he invested years in trying to culture.
He lost the American people as a whole following the loss in 2004.
Sorry man, you are a racist who sees color as a factor.
If Obama was white, the result would have been the same.
What is really disgusting is how unAmerican this focus on what someone hears at church, something that is personal and private.
Go ahead continue to play the same old cards: race, marxism, fear, fear, fear...
People are sick of the fear based rhetoric...

Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:
Ridiculous observation. You make it sound as if the 2008 campaign was an HC vs. Obama one on one. What about Edwards? Or Biden or Richardson. Of course Obama's color separated him from the pack. Just like it did in the 2004 Illinois primary. If black hadn't voted almost exclusively along racial lines then Obama wouldn't have been anywhere in the mix.
Obama clearly followed JFK's 1960 lead when Catholicism was much more of an asset to his campaign than a hindrance. Even Kennedy apologist Theodore White conceded in the Making of the President 1960 that JFK's adept use of religion was pivotal in garnering him the nomination. He monopolized the huge Catholic Dem vote and then played upon reverse bigotry to sway many Protestants.
One can only imagine the uproar if Obama and Wright were white. Two millionaires, one of them not even a true part of the Black experience yet the media and voters felt it a violation of the PC handbook to even disclose the depth of their relationship. Just the fact American's have heard of John Hagee- whose church McCain never once attended- on an almost equal par with Wright tells one all they need know about moral equivalency in reporting.
