I'm at home this week, using up accumulated vacation time, which is why so many of my daily blog photos are from New Jersey lately. But watching the presidential campaign today as Democrat John Edwards bowed out of the race (and Republican Rudy Giuliani expected to quit later today as well) I recalled it was exactly three months ago that there were eight Democratic candidates all here in Philadelphia. Now there are just three (former Alaska senator Mike Gravel is still in). So today's daily photo, is from that MSNBC Democrat debate on October 30, 2007. Edwards was on stage at Drexel University along with Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Dennis Kucinich, and Bill Richardson. Gravel, who wasn't invited, was a block away at the World Cafe Live.
