"Dewey Beats Truman!" Seems that Wolffe is riding the waves of our great tradition of journalists and pundits accurately putting their finger on the pulse of the nation. Poor guy - this is already old news, things in Iowa have already changed for the better for Edwards and we haven't even hit Nov 19th yet.

Who are you kidding? The latest Rasmussen poll shows Edwards gaining momentum and within two points of Hillary Clinton.

Peg Dunbar, you don't see John Edwards going anywhere, and you don't go with a loser???? Well who are YOU? I'll tell you....your like a kid in a playground who follows the leader and then goes any way the popular kid goes...or wind blows. John Edwards needs committed, intelligent people to support him and like him for what he stands for...not flakes like you and the rest of the county chairs.


are.

I think that these county chairs are only in their position because of their little "POWER TRIP" they get from a media spot lite every 4 years. Who says things like "I only go with winners" ? Oh, I know - they like their finger, stick it in the air, and then see which way the wind blows. Thats the problem in American politics today, the one with the most money that can get the media advertising out gets the most face time and hence gets the lead in the pools without defining themselves on any posiion. The Edwards Campaign has done the best job of making his positions known, throught his recently released "80 page issues guide", and an even more indepth stance on virtually every campaign issue on his web-site on "WHERE HE STANDS". Clinton says nothing but can talk in circle for days (if we are unfortunite enough she will talk in circles for possibly 8 years). And Ohbama preaches hope better than anyone in the campaign (I see glimpses of JFK, and Dr. King) but how is he going to deliver that hope is still unclear, you can not do it through speeches alone, you need strong stance on policy for your position. Not to mention where has the funding come from for the 2 Democratic front runners. That is not change that is old school hope mixed with the new corprate democrat's fund-raising. You can still get into the "BIG-TENT PARTY" if you pay for the ticket price.

As forMr. Wolfe - I truely enjoy your reporting, but don't you woryy that at times yourself and the media mold the electorates decisions for them ?????

Why does any candidate bbother with Iowa if this is how the people there operate? Anyone has the right to change their minds, but the likes of Peg Dunbar are in it for the power. "I don't go with a loser." Wow, that's a real belief system. If you're not sure who you like, then keep a lower profile and make your choice at the appropriate time. Maybe Giuliani's on to something basically blowing off the early states and their hordes of hick Machiavellis.

It seems to me that you Richard must be lost in a cornfield which I doubt is anywhere near Iowa. Though I have great respect for both Hillary Clinton and Mr Obama. I believe that it all comes down to the issue of trust for the American people. That is what I believe and John Edwards Has mine.

The American people are stuck in a bipartisan rut. Its time for somebody different, somebody who thinks for themselves, rather than blindly follow the party platform. John Edwards is just like every other Democrat in Washington. Its time for a change! Its time for a Ron Paul Revolution!!!!

This kind of biased "news article" is s wonderful sample of the typical garbage coming from the mainstream media that FEARS John Edwards! Did anyone check with identified Hillary or Obama county chairs, to make sure they are all still in place? Somehow, I doubt it. Without that information, this article is meaningless. Yes, Iowa is always fluid - remember the last front-runner, Howard Dean? Let's be a bit more evenhanded?!

I am so glad this phony's candidacy is dying on the vine. I look forward to seeing him disappear from view forever.

John Edwards is a winner! He is not just a voice of the people, but the ears of the people as well, at a time when we are yearning to be heard. I was listening to the conservative media here in Dallas the other day when Mark Davis said, "conservatives will crawl through glass to vote against Hillary." That is why there is a constant reporting of her front-runner status - to keep her in front so that the Republicans/conservative media can have a shot at taking the White House that will not exist if Edwards or Obama is the nominee.

The US government is broken! It will take a major change to alter the landscape of corrupt and unethical politicians, lobbyists, greedy corporate executives, spineless media, and foolish naive people who still believe that Hillary and Bill Clinton will come to the rescue - they are part of the beltway pattern of taking care corporations and lobbyists and politicians - not the American People. If the American people really want representation they will need to fight for it - John Edwards is the answer and the people Mr. Edwards will appoint to be in his cabinet will bring back our rights and our respect and our moral compass.

John Edwards has the honesty of Abe Lincoln, the leadership of Franklin Roosevelt, the courage of John Kennedy, the brains of Robert Kennedy, and the morals of Jimmy Carter, so let's give him a shot at the presidency. Maybe he really can make life better for millions of Americans, provide health care, end the war, solve global warming, and help our homeless veterans.

JOHN EDWARDS IS A LOSER!!!! HE COULDN'T WIN IN 2004, WHAT MAKES HIM THIINK HE CAN WIN NOW??? OBAMA IS A LOSER, TOO!!!! 2008 WILL BE A WOMAN'S YEAR!!!!

PRESIDENT HILLARY CLINTON - 2008!!!!

This superficial report fails to take into account a couple of important facts:

(1) John Edwards's campaign is the only one to *have* chairs in each and every one of Iowa's 99 counties. He is the only presidential candidate to have even visited all of those 99 counties.

(2) The upward movement in the polls for Clinton and Obama were directly related to the millions they spent to blanket the state with repetitive television ads over the past few months. They spent 300 times what Edwards spent over that period -- and yet, it is still a statistical dead heat because the winner of the Iowa caucuses will be the one who appeals to the most as a first OR second choice. If Edwards is still so strong despite his negligible spending in Iowa until the past couple of weeks, that speaks to the strength of his organization and his candidacy, not to television ads that sway the fickle.

I think John Edwards is going to shock the hell out of a lot of people come January 4, when the caucus results are reported.

It does seem that reporters have a death wish for John Edwards. They report the bad news--- which this certainly is---- but rarely the upside. I hope the Iowans are listening just enough to make them mad. John has such a fine attitude---- he'd be a great human being to have in the White House. A fighter with a heart. A genuine article.

I think that John Edwards may have the best chance of winning the actual election. Hilary seems to be too busy trying not to step on toes and I think she will ultimately box herself into an unteneable position. Obama says a lot of things I like but I want to see him walk the walk. If leaders need to teach where was he when the vote to confirm Mukasey was taken? What I like most about Edwards is that he has fought corporate america in the court room and won. I like fighters. Winning is good but losing for the right cause beats winning for the wrong one. As Eliot once said, "The last temptation is the greatest treason, to do the right deed for the wrong reason." I hope Edwards keeps it up at least until he gets to California so I can vote for him.
