Edwards Hints At Third Party Run? 2008central.net November 13th, 2007 · Written by 08 Guru AsC · 2 Comments Edwards refuses to state whether or not he would support the Democratic nominee if it’s not him (HT: Ben Smith). Other Democratic candidates have stated that they would support the party’s nominee if it’s not them. This is pretty much the standard political response and is given in order to reaffirm a candidate’s loyalty to the party and make it clear that they’re not interested in undermining the party’s chances at the general election (aka: they basically promise not to be a sore loser). I’m not entirely sure this means that Edwards would actually consider a third party run. At this point, his refusal to address this question is more than likely intended to allow him to continue to press his Democratic rivals as strongly as he has been. After all, it’s kind of hard to meaningfully argue that some of your rivals are corrupt, if you’ve already indicated that you would support them for president. * * *
