Edwards Statement on Gore Receiving the Nobel Peace Prize
John Edwards for President
Friday, October 12, 2007
----
Chapel Hill, North Carolina – Today, Senator John Edwards released the following statement:

"Congratulations to Al Gore. The Nobel Peace Prize rewards three decades of Vice President Gore's prescient and compelling -- and often lonely -- advocacy for the future of the Earth. His leadership stands in stunning contrast to the failure of the current administration to pursue policies that would reduce the harm of global warming.

"The Nobel Committee's recognition of Vice President Gore shines a bright light on the most inconvenient truth of all -- the selection of George Bush as president has endangered the peace and prosperity of the entire planet.

"Two terms later, Americans are ready for bold change, ready to be patriotic about something other than war and ready to take action to stop global warming before it's too late. The stakes are sky-high -- as Al Gore predicted, our Earth is in the balance."

1. "and I will be pleased to be invited

to be Mr. Gore's running mate."

i can dream...

actually would prefer Gore/Kucinich personally, but Gore/Edwards would be truly unstoppable.

17. Gore/Edwards may have been unstoppable in '00

Most people don't remember Edwards and Kerry were on Gore's VP shortlist that year.

4. I like that. Hit all the bases and kept running.

[jgraz]

5. I think Edwards has the best statement on this of all the candidates

Clinton's seems especially perfunctory.

[Lucinda]

6. I like everything about it.

Praises Gore, contrasts with junior and his "selection" to office, and looks forward.
Nicely done.

7. While I KNOW Edwards Will Be Attacked Because Some Here Will

only say he made the statement because he thinks it will help him, this is entirely UNTRUE!

Edwards has been out in front to state his ideas and comments on issues before most candidates each and every time something comes up! John Edwards has HEART, and I'm glad to see he's big enough to give Gore the credit due him!

I so wish there were more people like Gore & Edwards!

8. "shines a bright light on the most inconvenient truth of all -- the selection of George Bush"

Inconvenient indeed ~ and I love how he used the word "selection."

[movonne]

9. I did too...the word selection was perfect....

[harun]

14. Lawyers know how important the choice of words are, and that

choice was perfect. Go Edwards!!!

[FourScore]

10. "the SELECTION of George Bush as president....

has endangered the peace and prosperity of the entire planet."

Love that choice of words!

GORE/EDWARDS would by fabulous.

As would GORE/FEINGOLD...

Or GORE/OBAMA...

Hell, GORE/ANYBODY would work for me!!!

11. As usual, John has said just the right thing. I love that guy.
