I've got nothing but love for John Edwards.
John Edwards is singlehandedly responsible for kicking open this race, and I will forever be grateful to him for that.

I have sliced and diced Edwards for his participation in the IWR, deservedly so in my opinion, but he has walked the walk and talked the talk since then, and as much this will cause some gnashing of teeth around here, he's aces in my book.

May the best man win.

4. I lean toward JE also
but will throw my vote to Dennis if i hear anymore negative vitriol from his camp. Dems are about to lose it all. Ask Gray Davis and Phil Angelides what Dems can do to a blue state

6. he's criticized for taking corporate contributions, but many corps like his no bribe stand, it is
too expensive to compete with other corporations and they support him to stop it..

8. A very good point that a lot of people forget.
Corporations aren't inherently evil and maintaining a strong business climate (with healthy competition) is vital to our economic and national security.

10. Wow AK ...

Thank you! That's a fantastic photo!

Obama encapsulates the hope that we all have. It was a hard choice choosing between Obama and Edwards.

He was stellar on morning joe today. I just love to hear him talk.

14. Thanks for making that point, AK.
John Edwards does seem like a man who has come to some inner decisions about how he sees his vision for himself, his family, and his country.

15. I'd swoon if those two ended up in the White House
What a dream ticket that would be. Sort of like Aslan returning to defeat the White Witch (and no, Hillary supporters, I'm not referring to her as the White Witch - in this case, it's Bush).

22. I like him too, but...
I have a longer memory than is expected. He has a part of the death and misery for his mistake. He Owns part of it and it will not just go away on his apology. If it weren't for that one huge unforgivable, I could really believe in this guy. But how can I believe in someone who wants to Lead, when he followed such obvious Lies toward war?

23. Hey Longtime Edwards Supporterts... Are We Picking Up Speed Or
and is our DREAM coming true?? I'm seeing that "his" message is making headway! And I say WELCOME to all of you who have joined us!

Yes, it is ACES and thank you... now help us make it happen! He's positive, he's confident and he's working his butt off to break that "wall around Washington" and as more join our quest we just "may" pull this one off!

Just one more thing, and I really dislike this part because I think it's what has driven us to this point in America... Please DONATE and help him out. Many of us were once middle class and are having a hard time giving money that we "need" so we can provide for out own. I know I've given a lot, and I've even bought bumper stickers, posters and yard signs knowing that I'll have to cut corners because of it. That's how much I believe in him.

Give him a boost, so MSM sees he has MOJO building for him.

29. Dare I say...yes?
Sure seems that way to me. To me it actually looks like he's picking up bipartisan support.

26. Well, maybe you will find we have more in common
now that my POV just got off the E ticket ride. I've had a genuine realignment of the way I view the world. So far, so good.

Cheers!

27. AtomicKitten...excellent. Edwards is a star but he's also a worker...
...he just keeps pushing. Of the three leaders, he's the only one I can get excited about.

I'm done with him on the IWR (where you and I agree 100%). I think that he's grown significantly
since then. Who opens a campaign with poverty as the issue. That said a lot.

K*R

30. As a Kucinich supporter, I have nothing but love for Edwards and Obama! That picture's our strongest
ticket.

I like Edwards/Obama with Kucinich as Secretary of of Health and Human Services (or Secretary of the newly renamed Department of Peace created to replace the Department of Defense in Dennis' honor), but I would be happy with any of those three in any of the top positions.
