Today Former Senator John Edwards pulled out of the race for President. Someone once asked me why I would not want to vote for Edwards. At the time, I was supporting Governor Bill Richardson for President. My answer was that I could not think of any reason not to support Former Senator Edwards. Senator Edwards is a good man and he supports all of the same issues that I support at present. The only real reason I was not supporting him was because I also knew that Governor Richardson is a good man, is very strong on the same issues and had a lot more experience. Early on before the Governor got into the race I had every intention to support Edwards for President. Former Senator Edwards will away be a great credit to our party. I hope which every candidate gets the nomination will find a place for him in his or her administration.
We are now faced with the choice of two candidates for President. Senator Obama and Senator Clinton will both be in our state over the next few days. I would like to find the time to see both candidates. No matter which candidate wins the nomination we must support our party's nominee for President. Our country can not cope with another four years under the Republicans. Both candidates offer skills that would only serve to help our country at this crucial time in history. I hope every registered democrat in New Mexico makes the time to vote for one of these outstanding candidates on February 5.

Quotes:
Senator Edward M. Kennedy (Teddy)
"For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die."
The O'Coilean (O'Collins)
'A great host with whom it is not fortunate to contend, the battle-trooped host of the O'Coileain."
Abraham Lincoln
"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
From NPR Radio
"Rosa sat so Martin could walk.
Martin walked so Obama could run.
Obama ran so our children can fly!"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new."

"Friendship is loving someone no matter what is in their past. It is accepting the fact that they are human and that they have made their share of mistakes over a life time. Trust is being able to tell your friend the most private secret knowing that they will not judge you. A life is not lived well without that one true and trusted friendship."
Mary Harris "Mother" Jones
"My job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable"
Albert Einstein
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
Will Rogers
"I don't belong to an organized party--I'm a democrat."
President John F. Kennedy, Democrat
“If by a ‘liberal’ they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people—their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties—someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a ‘Liberal,’ then I’m proud to say I’m a ‘Liberal.’”
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase."
Lora O'Brien
"All I can do is share one person's experiences on her own path, not tell you how to walk yours. If a guru is what you are looking for, find another! If I am a teacher, it is because I am already walking the path that you, Dear Reader, may wish to be on. Although each of us must make our own way, I can put up signs at least, and make the way slightly less hazardous for those who wish to walk a similar path."
C. S. Lewis
"Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives."
