What is the keyboard shortcut that highlights your entire LJ post and deletes it without confirmation? I need to know, because I hit it from time to time and I don't know how.

Anyway, this was an elegant post about Edwards dropping out of the presidential race, and how I think Californians should still vote for him next Tuesday because he's clearly planning to use his up-to-now 20% of the vote as leverage to fight for a decent party platform at the convention. I am sure of this because he has not endorsed Clinton or Obama and he has promised that both Clinton and Obama have promised him that ending poverty will be a main thrust of their campaign and presidency. I don't believe that either of them gave him any such credible assurance, and I do believe that he's all for making it uncomfortable for them until they do.

I think he should have waited until next Wednesday to drop out, really I do. California is not a winner-take-all primary at least for the Democrats, and we could have given him a pile more delegates to take to the convention and pressure Clinton and Obama with.

Also, the young doctor has a job teaching English as of Monday and he also is thinking of moving to a cheaper place. He thinks his job will almost pay his expenses. But he won't take a lot of pictures when he walks around town because he doesn't want to look like a tourist.

Considering the "natives only" signs the neo-nazi skinheads were carrying around, maybe this is not such an unreasonable position to take.
