Democrat John Edwards is exiting the presidential race Wednesday, ending a scrappy underdog bid in which he steered his rivals toward progressive ideals. (press announcement)

It is time to thank John Edwards for his impact on the perspective of the Presidential campaigns. His commentary has impacted both party's candidates and established the voice of USAmericans in the contents of the campaigns. Without John's commentary, "Change" would only have meant a change of face in the White House and more at-odds relationships with our nation's people.

Change now means a global viewpoint on economy, community and humanity that starts with service to the needs, interests and advisory of USAmericans. John McCain must now move from his "more of the same in a violent world." Barak Obama must move away from Oprah's SPIN on USAmerican interests. Mitt Romney must move to a moderate center that serves USAmerica's majority. Hillary Clinton must be straight-forwardly intelligent in her views expressed to USAmericans.

We likely are losing our best qualified candidate, but John leaves his mark on the 2008 campaigns.

Thank you, John,

Hal Bailey
