Edwards never had star power. If you saw it, you were alone. He was young and good looking with nice hair. But do you think he inspired anyone to vote. Doubtful.
And for most of the campaign he was MIA. The debate with Cheney, he was as ass kissing as Lieberman.
Now the netroots has fallen in love with him. Why? He is against the war and poverty. Wow. Way to take a stand.
The netroots love him because he buys ads on their sites. Half Kidding.
Now with Obama. Call it star power, I don't care. That is a bunch of media crap.
If Kennedy were alive today, they would say the same about him. And the netroots would say, see, he is just a poster boy. Three Quarters Kidding.
One day you, and I mean most, will actually watch Obama, and listen to what he says. And you will see a candidate that can actually get people excited about voting again. Even those that never did.
I'm sure most of you will continue the lies about him. But I was there, collecting signatures to get him on the ballot. When maybe 3% of those in Illinois knew his name.
And people, and yes, they knew him over the years of seeing him in action, but they couldn't wait to sign.
He won over voters talking about issues that people cared about.
The sooner the netroots gets that through their skulls, maybe they will actually back a winner. Instead of the Dean, Kucinich, Nader, Lamont losing streak they are on now.
And to the Edwards lovers. I think he is a great guy, and will be a good candidate. But he put America to sleep in 04. We have seen that play.
Gore, would love to see Gore run. I think he has grown up. And remember, Bill Clinton was an unknown, with so-called star power. Now I wish he did more, but compared to Bush. C'mon.
