If Edwards loses .... remembering what might have been |
|
I worked the Gore campaign and realize now many people didn't, truly, realize what a great President he would have been. In hindsight, many feel this country missed an opportunity that has cost the country and the world dearly.
That's how I feel about Edwards - Yeah, his chances are slim ... he has very little money (compared to the others), and very few 'big players' endorsing him, nor does he generate the type of sensational stories/conflicts for the media to collectively drool over - and regurgitate ad nauseum (perhaps, neither candidates fault, but, regardless, the result is both Clinton and Obama are getting far more media attention than Edwards, who is virtually ignored).
But, I think people may, in the future, feel the same melancholy they do today about Gore, if they don't give him fair consideration. And, the M$M, Tweety, and his peers will continue spinning away about how they treated all the candidates equally.

1. We all feel the same about Gore |
|
How different the world would be today, had Gore been allowed his rightful place in the White House.
But I think Hillary, Obama, or Edwards would all be good presidents.

3. I am an Edwards supporter. But I am beginning to lean towards |
|
hoping that if Edwards can't pull it out, Hillary gets the nod. I continue to be disappointed in Obama. I just don't think he's ready.
I just don't think he knows who he is, yet, which is why he keeps talking about wanting to bring everybody together. I think that's so he can figure out where he stands.
