The End?...

Well, it wasn't hard to predict this: Melissa McEwan has also resigned from her position in the John Edwards campaign. She announced it with considerably more grace and class that Amanda Marcotte did. She was, of course, by far the less v...

McEwan resigns...

Melissa McEwan has resigned from the Edwards campaign: I regret to say that I have also resigned from the Edwards campaign. In spite of what was widely reported, I was not hired as a blogger, but a part-time technical advisor, which is the role I am va...
