    Edwards is a great guy. So is Barack Obama. Either one would be fine. Hillary would not!

    it's nice to see one of the front runners [my fav] with so little rath over religion or race or gender in here [COMPLIMENT TO ALL] just plain old discussion on the one you have hope with. he is a good man and the one true compitition for the GOP as he draws no ire for name,race,religion,gender, ie: no real threat till he is our one choice but still far better to EVERYONE than anyone from the GOP. wish for the best,hope for what you can get, and pray it stops there! Go Edwards

    It's funny how the woman in the story says she's afraid John Edwards won't be able to "build alliances" with the "business community". She's either a part of the "business community" and is desperate to paint him in a bad light because she knows he'll hold her to account if he gets elected, or she is very naive about the nature of the "business community". You don't build alliances with them. To them, building alliances means YOU giving up the shop. You NEGOTIATE with them. And sometimes that means playing hardball. Edwards knows this. He dealt with them for years. I talk a lot about this in my blog at http://www.myspace.com/grace_amelia

    I sometimes wonder if most in the US think they are like the very rich. I mean do they think they make a million a year a billion?
    John Edwards is the only one who is for the guy or woman that gets up and goes to work
    everyday. Which most do everyday.
    Wake up people he's for us not for the CEO of this or that Corp. he's for you and me.

    Just now, when David Schuster was interviewing Eugene Robinson about John Edwards, Robinson mentioned that Edwards didn't have as much money as Clinton or Obama, but he neglected to say why: Edwards is the only one to take public money and individual donations. He does not take money from PACs or corporate lobbyists. Whey didn't Eugene Robinson mention this? He never explained the reason! Please ask them to clarify this ASAP....
