Better than Fleetwood Mac, maybe…

John Edwards has come in third in New Hampshire.
His wife Elizabeth just came out to talk to the crowd in Manchester. The song she came out to? “Firecracker” by North Carolina’s own Ryan Adams.
Contains the great (and maybe eerily appropriate) line: “Everybody wants to go forever/I just want to burn up hard and bright”
Then Edwards came out to say “Two races down — 48 states left to go!” The song he came out to? “Our Country” by John Mellencamp.
Yeah, the truck commercial song.
Contains no great lines.
Well played, Mrs. Edwards.
Come on, John.

Even without the National Enquirer nipping at his… well, heels, Edwards is deader than dead. And he’s of no value at all as a veep candidate anymore since he won’t help the Democrats win anything they wouldn’t already have nailed down. Richardson is the obvious choice for both Clinton and Obama.
The Republican establishment must be about ready to swallow the black pills given that one of these guys is going to be their candidate. I’m rooting for McCain because at least there’s some hope that he’s a living entity.
