Kerry, Clark, Edwards, Gephardt supporters |

What will your candidate do to reform the DNC, or is it more business as usual? Have any of your candidates said anything about what is institutionally wrong with the demcratic party and what they will do to fix it?

1. Edwards wants to eliminate lobbyist influence |
|
and if you don't think that impacts the DNC, tell me where they get their money from.
This would be revolutionary in American politics if he can pull it off.

And what about trial lawyers, who have donated by far the largest amount of his campaign contributions?

4. What about trial lawyers? Edwards wants real CFR, and wants to remove |
|
lobbyists from influencing politics, whether they're trial lawyers or not.

for being brave enough to accept the challenge of the Draft Clark people and run, despite being truly an outsider to the DNC, and
for running a positive campaign, and
for accepting matching funds, and thereby choosing to abide by the existing campaign finance reforms.
As in the rest of his life, I believe Clark is trying to lead us by example: to take a more personal, active role in the politics of our country, and to act with decency in the political arena.
