Plans to Vote for John Edwards

Dear Democratic voters,
    As a staff member on the recently suspended John Edwards campaign, I am glad Edwards remains on the Texas ballot, because so far neither Sens. Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama has really reached out to us. Beyond the pro forma statements about poverty the day after Edwards bowed out, I haven't seen much leadership from either one on that, on global warming and safe energy, on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and telecom immunity, or on many other key issues.
    I plan to vote for John Edwards on March 4, just like a half-million other voters did on Super Tuesday, to help strengthen his hand in forging a progressive consensus at the heart of the Democratic Party. There will be plenty of time to coalesce around the eventual nominee later.
