Concession Speeches part 2

However, I wouldn’t be surprised if we heard one from John Edwards in the not so distant future. His decision to put all of his weight behind Barack Obama while staying in the race was as close to an abdication as his influence would allow. The support he showed Obama during the New Hampshire debate contributed to stoking the fire of the already frustrated Clinton campaign machine.  He hoped that the force of himself plus Obama would be too much for the Clintons to handle.  He was wrong, and that miscalculation probably attributed to more support shifting to Hillary and away from himself.  He got burnt.
