    I honestly think John Edwards committed political suicide when he decided aganst running for a second term as Senator. It would have given him a background he could be judged on as a State leader. but by deciding to not run, I sincerely believe he did himself in, although I als believe he is anexcellent candidate, but has no recent Senate votes or activity in eight years now.

    Comment: Actually, you should look at the Rasmussen one-on-one data (they have not excluded Edwards).

    Versus Romney:

    Edwards +16
    Obama +6
    Clinton -1

    Versus McCain:

    Edwards +7
    Obama -3
    Clinton -11

    Versus Huckabee:

    Edwards +12
    Obama +2
    Clinton -3

    CNN-let america select the next President not CNN- GO Edwards!!! :-)

    These data are consistent with the earlier data from CNN.

    Newsweek is connected to the Washington Post? Hmm. I've read more hatchet jobs and articles leaving out John Edwards in the Washington Post than I can even count. I read one article to which were appended over 100 comments calling the Post on its biased coverage.

    Every time I read another hatchet article, I make another small donation to the campaign.

    GO EDWARDS!!

    Typical hack job from the corporate media. People who think independently are in large numbers aware of the biased coverage that has been provided by the corporate media in covering the Edwards campaign. The corporate media is not so much reporting the news but actively attempting to shape it and determine the outcome of the primaries. Every time I read another article by the herd of reporters with an agenda, my response is to simply make another small donation to the campaign. GO EDWARDS!!

    Here is the CNN poll people, see for yourself: http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/12/10/poll.head.to.head/

    It is my inderstanding that the new poll your referring to came out after the new ad of Edwards came out. So your article is misleading. And I believe there was a new poll in the USA Today paper that shows Edwards is the only Democrat to beat John McCain.

    Well, DUH! The real question is: WHY DID CNN LEAVE EDWARDS OUT? Sounds like they didn't like what they were hearing--that the corporations that have BETRAYED this democracy since 1947 by ramming the gasoline engine firmly down our throats in cahoots with big oil are FINALLY going to brought to heel. Not by corporate candidates Obama and Clinton, but by Edwards. I think Obama would be a great veep---he's got some stuff to learn.

    It is obvious that the Press, the Media have decided there are two candidates from the Democrats: Obama, the favorite one, and Hillary,
    I don't understand the logic, so called, of your argument. When Edwards was included in the polls, he beat all Republicans.
    The latest poll did not include him, (SURPRISE, SURPRISE). If he wasn't included, how do you know he would not have come ahead of your chosen candidates.
    When Edwards was included he did.

    It's good to see you guys start to cover the Edwards campaign. This negative news is good news because as they say : "any news is good news." This demonstrates is that Edwards is still in the fight. It's funny that you refer to Kucinich in order to make a point against Edwards. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't ignore and exclude Kucinich one moment and then use him when it suits your purposes. Sad, really.

    Restoring the Middle Class, Prosperity and Quality Jobs in the United States

    You must have a viable strategy that will be inherently financially supported and carried forward by the "invisible hand of economic globalization". The US is declining as the global economic leader, only because the Fed Gov and powerful interests do not have a viable strategy.

    The US became the Economic Leader of the World only by the recognized hard work of Franklin, Edison, Westinghouse, Henry Ford, Einstein, and the countless technically creative, engineers and scientists, inventors, as strong individual leaders, led the world in INNOVATION. (Greenspan has listed INNOVATION as the missing ingredient in the current US strategy, that was previously was in place, and the related Intellectual Property and Patents, built this country to become the World Leader).

    The adverse influence of powerful large entities, major venture capitalists, CEO???s, and other powers using lobbies, now erroneously promote what actually built this US, as high risk, discouraging financial support for qualified individual technologists, inventors, scientists, and engineers. We are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

    Most important the current US decline can only be eradicated by a new direction to create a quality domestic industry, protected from the ???offshore competition??? by innovations Americans control with US Patents. Studies at MIT and other entities have proven that these qualified individuals working independently have, always created the most significant inventions and new manufacturing with secure quality jobs.

    Restoring the Middle Class, prosperity and quality jobs in the US will only happen when you create approval certification programs for technologists to receive financial backing, and restore tax shelters for financial support of individual qualified engineers, scientists, medical doctors, researchers, inventors, and start-ups. In this way, the current 80% employment that is provided by small entities would generate a wealthy middle class, instead of a group of ???hamburger flippers???. This will also solve the problem of math and science leadership of young people, and encourage the neglected 40% of high IQ students to pursue math and science.

    As a graduate engineer and small entity inventor, I have started ventures and provided quality jobs, some under now defunct technical tax shelters, and in other instances the corporate large entities, like the old ???robber barons??? have managed to rob me of some of my important Intellectual Property. My personal experience validates the sad lack of financial support for technologists.

    Edwards emphasis on how much he will "fight" for the rights of middle class America and "fight" against the dominance of Big Business, Big Pharma, etc. sounds less appealing to me coming from a Presidential candidate as it would from a candidate for Congress. Presidents have executive authority, which means that not everything necessarily needs to be in terms of a fight. I want a President who knows how to (constitutionally) exercise their authority and has the ability to "lead" us in the right direction, not one who is just willing to fight the good fight.

    Hey, I bet this is the first time the media even announced that Kucnich was against Nafta. And you only did it to whack Edwards. Pitiful.

  • Posted By: pmorlan @ 01/16/2008 4:52:35 PM

    Well considering the media has practically made Edwards invisible we don't mind that the commercials are a tiny bit off. I didn't hear anything from you about the other Edwards commercials. What's the matter couldn't find anything to knitpick on?
