    You Caved.

    True -you experienced the Right Wing smear machine first hand, and them promptly caved in and gave them exactly what they wanted. How disappointing! Are there no Democratic bloggers with spines/balls/ovum of steel to withstand the Right's constant whining? Edwards gave you the opportunity to stay on, and you choked. Seriously Amanda, I'm a fan of yours, but you should have hung in there.
