A South Ossetian man holds an axe as he stands in his house on August 16, 2008 in Tskhinvali. Dozens of haggard Georgian captives were marched through the rebel city of South Ossetia, as separatists called on Tbilisi to recover the rotting corpses of its soldiers.

Locals stopped to take pictures on their mobile phones. Some pointed and laughed as the detainees marched through Tskhinvali. One woman said: "Those are the prisoners? But they're just old men!".

We respect John Edwards, but as the voters of West Virginia showed last night, this thing is far from over.

I think it certainly helps in terms of the psychology of the superdelegates

For Barack Obama, I think he ought to kiss Johnny Edwards on the lips to kill this 41-point loss
in CTV
This is a major blow to Hillary Clinton's hopes of winning over the vast majority of superdelegates she would need to stake a claim on the nomination ... In the wake of her 40-point win in West Virginia, Clinton has made a direct appeal to party leaders to at least stop and consider their choice. Having a big name still on the sidelines so quickly ignore that plea is a sign it's having little impact.
