since Gore won't jump in, EDWARDS is my guy

[greenbriar]

then man can answer any question whenever asked


and speaks for me


I am the middle class and yes we do have trouble paying our bills, My sister is not even reaching middle class and she is struggling and I don't have enough to give her because I am keeping my head above water



Edwards GETS that


I was hoping for Gore

but EDWARDS is the man

[PresidentObama]

1. I was hopeful for Kerry, Gore or Clark....but Edwards will do.

He's no John Kerry, but I still think he's got the best vision for our country out of anyone running.

[Evergreen Emerald]

2. If you are concerned for the middle class, I suggest you look at his actions rather than his words.

His time in the senate is opposite to his words today.

[greenbriar]

6. maybe he

can do more as a president than he ever did at senator

[Botany]

3. Glad to have you.

we have many good people this year .... Edwards @ least to me is the class of the field.

[Mojambo]

4. Same here. I've changed my avatar to celebrate my (now firm) primary candidate.

John Edwards!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. Me too. He won me over when he said that when president, he

would appoint a cabinet level person in charge of New Orleans. And every day, " I will ask them - what have you done for New Orleans today?"

Bush's failure with Katring is my number one travesty (after lying about the war).

I was thinking that HRC just speaks - you don't see any passion or soul. Edwards just speaks from from his gut - and you can tell it's real.

[asdjrocky]

7. Glad to have you.

Let's get to work.

[Life Long Dem]

8. I hear you. I held out for Gore up until a few weeks ago.

Since then I have noticed Edwards getting stronger. Now in Iowa he is either in the lead or tied for first, and a solid lead for second choice in Iowa (which means something in a caucus).

[waiting for hope]

9. Welcome aboard!

K&R!

[CoffeeCat]

10. Same for me....

I pined away for a Gore run. I was so sure that he would eventually run.

After realizing that Gore wasn't going to jump in, I began listening to
the candidates.

I was astounded at what Edwards was saying. He actually talks about
the corruption and how the corporations have rotted the system from
the inside out. He actually dared to say the word "neocon", a word which I
imagine a few of our Dem candidates do not have the courage to speak.

I first listened to Edwards when he was on "This Week". He really
speaks for Progressives. He gets it. He cares about the poor.

Another bonus...Edwards has been away from DC for a while. I loved
that about Gore. Taking a step back enables you to see things...really
see things. Edwards isn't as beholden to corporate interests as some
politicians who have been around for a while. He sees the corruption
and isn't afraid to take it on.

Gore started the DLC, and look at him now. He changed quite a bit...I believe
Edwards has experienced a similar epiphany.

I truly believe that the 04 campaign had a tremendous impact on Kerry
and Edwards. They saw the face of America and they really listened to
our fears about Bush and our concerns for this country. I believe that
Edwards will parlay his concern for the American people into real change
that benefits our country and our people---and that he will be strongly
motivated to unravel the BushCo damage.

Sometimes--the right thing is right in front of your face--even though
you don't realize it. I hope others will really listen to Edwards, because
he is speaking our language.

Edwards gives me hope.

11. OK

I busted my butt for Kerry-Edwards. I still have the bumper stickers on my car. When John Edwards came to town I volunteered to help with the entourage baggage, missed his rally and screwed up my back in the process. I guess I have a vested interest in at least getting half of the last winning ticket into the White House. I can just cut half my bumper sticker off. I was drifting toward Obama, but you just got Edwards a vote. Keep it up.

[polichick]

12. My bet is that Edwards will get a lot of votes from both...

Gore and Kucinich supporters ~ this should get interesting.

[usregimechange]

13. Welcome aboard!

[K Gardner]

14. Doesn't it feel good to finally choose someone?

Congrats! :bounce:

[Reno.Muse]

15. Edwards has been my guy since before the Dems gave the nomination to Kerry

in 2004.

[zazzle]

16. Welcome! to the Edwards team

[saltpoint]

17. I sure do like your choice, greenbriar.

Two thumbs up. :toast:

[Pachamama]

18. Gore was my 1st choice - but since he's not running, I'm for a Edwards/Obama '08 ticket

:applause:

[HughBeaumont]

24. I don't know why everyone just isn't pushing for that.

IMO, that would be an unstoppable, "take it to the bank" ticket. It would unite two ideologies, both pushing for a reversal from the morass Bewsh left us in. THAT ticket would make much needed gains in the South, wouldn't lose a single 2004 blue state and would win Ohio, possibly even Florida.

[The River]

19. Very Much The Same For Me

Ideologically DK is closer to where I think we should be
but America isn't ready for that much change.
Al was my first choice for '08, John was second in line(now 1st.)
I like Richardson too but he makes Al look like he's on caffine.
Obama is a good man, but needs more time and experience.
I would like to see him as our UN Ambassador for 8 then..go for it
Biden? Sec. of State
Hillary? May she have a long and productive Senate career!

[robinlynne]

20. Can I join your club? Room for one more?

[asdjrocky]

21. This will make you feel better until he gets Gore's endorsement.

Friends of Earth Action - 100,000 strong, are behind Edwards.

[Czolgosz]

22. Is there any chance you'd consider Kucinich? Edwards may have the 2nd most progressive platform, but

Dennis has the most progressive.

The Ron Paul stuff is not a reflection of Dennis being a "secret Republican." It's just a sign that he's open-minded. He never advocated Ron Paul as a running mate; he just said his mind was open. Is that really such a bad thing?

[mod mom]

23. Edwards is a good man. rec'd

[clarence swinney]

25. Edwards is HONEST

smart
caring
charming
hire skills not pals
helps middle class
knows the law
will fight corporate take over of america
can fight for right
will prosecute Bush criminals with dynamic Attorney General. This alone is enough to elect him.
hard to smear so squeaky clean
will give is PRIDE again
will get world on our side

only if he has a Democratic congress.

[frogmarch]

26. Edwards talks the talk and

as president will walk the walk.

I trust him to work hard for we the people.

[madmom]

27. I'm on the Edwards bandwagon, pretty sure SO and daughter are too, working

on son, daughter-in-law,and mother-in-law!:thumbsup:

[greenbriar]

28. even some of my repuke relatives are

looking into Edwards




if they ignore the (D) they would find that he speaks for them too

[Kurovski]

29. K&R. (nt)

[EV_Ares]

30. K&R. eom.
