Edwards and Clinton speak on the heals of Obama

Edwards delivered a gracious concession speech that reassured his supporters that he is staying in the race. He focused on how his campaign is giving a voice to the disenfranchised and that he will continue to be that voice.

Hillary addressed South Carolina in little more than a sentence. It is clear they are trying to minimize this loss and refocus everyone's attention on Super Tuesday. She is delivering her regular stump speech and isn't being broadcast live. Chelsea continues to accompany Hillary and hope that means that Clinton will continue to target young voters.

Bush Slammed for veto

Let the strong reaction to Bush's veto continue! Democrats need to stand up to Bush and keep sending back the bill. The American people are behind them! Russ Feingold discusses what should happen next on The Huffington Post. And Edwards has a great response and went even further saying:

This is a political frame and political rhetoric. They use it to justify everything they do. They use that language to justify the war in Iraq. They use it to justify Guantanamo. They use it to justify torture. They use it to justify illegal spying on the American people.

Keith Olbermann has a must watch clip on the Veto:

The Anniversary Veto : Four years after Mission Accomplished, it's blame-transmission, accomplished. The President vetoes spend-and-end, the troops don't get funding... and it's not his fault, of course. As the war slogs onward, Countdown takes a look at the evolution of the selling of the war, from "Mission Accomplished", to "Stay the Course", to... wherever the Hell we are now. Our special guest is Frank Rich of the New York Times.

Chris Bowers blogs on the failure to override Bush's veto and initial steps forward.
