As Edwards Quits Presidential Race And His California Support Flocks To Barack, Hillary's Ace Is Maxine "Angry Black Woman" Waters


John Edwards Yells "No Se Puede" While LA Congresswoman Tells Team Barack To "Bring It!"

New York Senator Hillary Clinton won the backing of African American California Rep. Maxine Waters, an influential member of the Congressional Black Caucus whose sole role will be to have all the Ms. Jones in South Central show up for Bill Clinton's woman.

Meanwhile, former North Carolina Senator John Edwards is exiting the presidential race Wednesday, ending a scrappy underdog bid in which he steered his democratic rivals toward progressive ideals while grappling with family hardship that roused voters' sympathies.

The decision came after Edwards lost the four states to hold nominating contests so far to rivals who stole the spotlight from the beginning - Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama. The former multimillionaire Southern white gentleman will not immediately endorse either candidate but it's clear he and his supporters are all foaming at the mouth over Barack. Just like Georgia's favorite peanut farmer, former president Jimmy Carter.

A high ranking African American LA politician specifically told 3 Brothers that as soon as address dropped out, expect to see even more ballers in the game co-signing on Obama. Call it the great debate, as the Kodak theater in Los Angeles on Thursday will present the ultimate showdown between the first black person to secure the democratic nomination, versus the first woman.

With Maxine's support, charges of racial polarization against the Clinton campaign in the South Carolina primary have already been somewhat blunted. In a statement, Waters praised the former first lady's readiness to tackle the nation's economic woes."

At a time when the economy continues to worsen and so many of my constituents are losing their homes and their jobs, we need someone with the leadership and experience who can step in on day one to tackle the economic challenges our country is facing," Waters said. [Source]

Edwards, who waged a spirited top-tier campaign against the two better-funded rivals, even as he dealt with the stunning blow of his wife's recurring cancer diagnosis, plans to announce his campaign was ending with his wife and three children at his side in New Orleans where he announced his plans to run last year.

With Rudy Giuliani dropping out and Mike Huckabee hanging by a thread, it's down to Romney versus McCain and Clinton versus Obama family.
