1. Anyone sense that his momentum is increasing in a big way?

I will likely be voting for Kerry, but I am very impressed with Edwards as of late. He seems to be a really quick learner, has charisma, and, if you buy it (which I do), is an advocate of the lower and middle classes.

Look forward to watching him with Stephanopolous.

2. I hope so. Maybe the media will give him his due again.

I _still_ think he's our best bet to put a whompin on sshrub.

3. Cannot wait for a debate between King George* and any of the following:

Kerry
Dean
Edwards

This would resemble other blow-outs, Bush vs. Gore comes to mind, but those three have more "color" than Gore...

5. Gore could appear condescending because of his experience

and intellect and his lack of "Elvis" as Molly Ivins would say.

These guys are a bit different than Gore. Personally, I'd love to see Edwards debate Bush. I'll be voting for DK, but I've long that that Edwards or Kerry will get the nod and then comprise a ticket together either as Prez or VP. Edwards is so articulate. Hands down the most articulate Dem in the field, not as fiery as Dean, Sharton or say Kucinich, but his even temperment serves him well. He would eat Bush or Cheney alive mano y mano. Smooth talkin' Lawyer.

Get this:

Kerry: decorated Vietnam vet, instrumental in taking on the Iran-Contra cabal.

Edwards: hard working blue collar background, great speaker and from the South.

My assessment: Good Stuff!!!!!

7. I suspect that will be our ticket next year.

Kerry - Edwards. If I had to bet right now, that would be it.

I figure the DNC would agree with me....

4. Edwards

Being a resident of North Carolina I am sad to report that Sen. Edwards is not picking up momentum. His campaign contributions have stopped. It's true that he has collected alot of money since joining the race but in the last quarter he barely raised more than the Rep. from Ohio. (sorry, can't spell his name - public school education - my family belongs to the 1% of liberals who are not rich). 25% of last quarter's money came from a last second transfer of funds out of his senatorial campaign into his presidential campaign. His plan was to raise lots of money from his trial lawyer friends to create the impression of popularity and then translate that media attention to grass roots support. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked. He will drop out of the race shortly after the SC primary (if he has enough money to make it that far)

What does this mean: "(sorry, can't spell his name - public school education - my family belongs to the 1% of liberals who are not rich) "?

Do you have links to support your other assertions? Thanks.

8. Thanks, I think GS is a good interviewer.

Should be a good opportunity for Edwards to get his message out.
