1. I have been bugging the hell out my Union Local to endorse John Edwards

and I hope that the President of the International comes out in a big way for him.

2. He's the only left-wing candidate besides Kucinich n/t

3. And Obama (nt)

5. No not Obama

I'm not going to bother posting my sources because I've already done that a million times here. Look up his heavy Wall Street backing and neocon infiltration on google (and read The Audacity of Hope, which is all about 'reaching across the aisle').

8. How so?

BTW, Obama came out against the war LONG before Edwards.

4. Until Gore steps in - Edwards is my guy. If Al decides not to run - its full

tilt for Edwards.

6. While Edwards announces support from party activists Obama and Hillary fight over billionaires and

Hollywood moguls.

I don't ever find myself wishing that Kuchinch was announcing the kind of support from the glitterazzi Hillary and Obama fight over, but I wish Kucinich had the sort of support Edwards slowly builds day after day.

7. His grassroots efforts are going to

carry him through the long haul - already the press is all over his $15.00 a head fundraisers. That kind of campaigning is resonating well with the voters.
