Hey you guys -- this might be of some interest...

[saltpoint]

There's a debate on the tv and this one guy from the Carolinas sounds really presidential.

I think you'd like him.

[SeattleGirl]

1. Hells, yeah!

Edwards was FANTASTIC tonight!

And thank GAWD they FINALLY acknowledged him!!

[saltpoint]

2. Hi, SeattleGirl. He did just great, didn't he.

I'm really proud of him. All those months of preparation put him in a competitive pressure cooker and with only a slither of the cash the other two have, he kicked their butts on that stage tonight.

[SeattleGirl]

6. He totally kicked ass!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[AndyA]

3. John Edwards hit it out of the ballpark tonight!

Will the M$M talk about him tomorrow, though?

[saltpoint]

4. Good question, AndyA. If the M$M fail to do their jobs as usual, it won't

mean you aren't exactly right about JRE hitting it out of the ballpark tonight.

In fact, that home run is going to still be airborne in Denver next fall!

[lisainmilo]

5. I hope he gets recognition and coverage!

:applause:

[SeattleGirl]

7. He was just on CNN. Hope y'all saw it!

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

[saltpoint]

8. The corporate media shoved a majority of our candidates aside, including

John Edwards.

But he burned 'em up on that stage tonight. They can't shove him aside on this one!

[SeattleGirl]

9. The CNN poll has Obama winning the debate, Hilary in second,

and John in third.

Did they see the same debate we did, or are they only counting 1 out of ever 5 people who voted for John?

[saltpoint]

10. I take nothing away from the other two, but John Edwards owned that stage.

[saracat]

11. That is not what the comments in their live thread said.Odd huh?

[NastyRiffraff]

12. Who cares what CNN thinks?

John outshone everyone. Showed his trial lawyer experience. This is something he does very, very well.

Let's show it some love folks.

[saltpoint]

13. That guy from the Carolinas? He sounded to me like he might be in the

nomination race for the long run.

[Catchawave]

14. CNN did a great post debate wrap up, for a change :)

Lots of clips of JE, and pundits were even saying NICE things about him.

AND, not one said his campaign is OVER ! Yay.

[saltpoint]

15. "for a change" is right. And his performance tonight will shut a few

of those naysayers up pretty quick.

He doesn't have the cash the other two have and the media ignore him and other Dems, but he stood strongest tonight and was the one who sounded most like a U.S. President.

[Catchawave]

30. ....he has us :)

And like the Beatles said, ya just can't buy me love :hi:

[saltpoint]

34. My god your taste in music is as excellent as your taste in public servants.

Don't ever leave the Democratic Party, Catchawave.

[smokey nj]

16. John kicked some serious ass tonight. I'm series, hugh ass!!

[saltpoint]

20. smokey, I wanted to hug John and Elizabeth and their parents and walk

their dog as well.

Just a great evening for our candidate.

[smokey nj]

24. Watching Barillary Clintbama fight, I felt like a parent trapped in a car with a bunch of kids

on a road trip.

[saltpoint]

26. While meanwhile, in the same caravan, look at the group who's posted

in this thread alone.

A lot of good will being generated by the DU Edwards group, IMO.

And we're good for the long haul, too.

[smokey nj]

29. Edwards supporters are the greatest, if I do say so myself!

:grouphug:

[Nutmegger]

17. OC my friend, that was well done.

Makes me proud to be a supporter, and believe it or not my support for him has grown and strengthened.

As usual, I agree with you 100%! :hi:

[saltpoint]

19. Hi, Nutmegger. He shone like the sun, I thought. I was mighty proud to

be part of this group this evening.

I'm with you all the way on the upward trend line!:thumbsup: :hi: :dem:

[Lugnut]

21. John rocked!

He stayed out of the fray and looked like the only adult on that stage. The sniping and bickering the other two engaged in was petty and juvenile. They reminded me of my son and daughter's arguments when they were in grade school.

[saltpoint]

22. Hi, Lugnut. He had the resolve of a problem-solver tonight, didn't he.

He's always had it, is my guess.

Between him and Elizabeth, I bet that was always one REALLY well-run household. The two of them suggest the firmness of career success and the humane affection of a house full of very good memories.

I love these people.

[Lugnut]

25. I'm with you, OC.

I'm so proud of his debate performance tonight. I really enoyed when he gave Barack the wrap-it-up signal. Very funny but appropriate.

[saltpoint]

28. Edwards seems to be at home in this kind of format. He's as calm as

stone but my god the passion in him, and the preparation... there's a bedrock leader in John Edwards.

It's up to SC voters to acknowledge one of their own.

[asdjrocky]

23. Up until now I thought he was that phyic guy that talked to the dead, on TV.

[saltpoint]

27. LOL! Hi, Rocky. Our guy did pretty darn good tonight, didn't he.

[asdjrocky]

32. Man, I am telling you my friend.

On issue. Quick. Funny. And did you notice? No one called him a liar.

Another time, did you notice how many times they said, "As John has said." Or, "John touched on this earlier."

The leader all the way. Just what we needed after Nevada.

[saltpoint]

33. right on all counts (I did read your post on the acknowledgements...) AND

it cooled all the JRE Must Drop Out chatter real fast.

It's just not reasonable to ask someone who did as well as Edwards did this evening to leave the dialogue.

He won over alot more people than just his own supporters, IMO.
