I feel this is where he is at his best, in small forums and even at larger gatherings.
He really makes a connection with people, teasing the guy about not remembering how long he'd been married!

I love Dean Pro and I love John Edwards

He obviously makes people feel very comfortable! He's genuine - and that's hard to find these days amidst all the pretense.

10. Edwards is absolutely sincere when |
|
he promises to "give everything I've got" to be sure we all have health care.
Fun video to watch. Dean is great! He sure is mad that he has to pay $600 a month for health care, though. He isn't the only one, that is for sure. I don't think Americans are getting what they pay for. If Dean or "Mother" gets sick, I'll bet their $600/mo insurance is pretty picky about what they will cover.

12. That is why he IS leading in Iowa |
|
People there see through the facades that people put out there. They see the real John Edwards regardless of what the talking heads are saying.

Here was a politician at his best. The gentleman was basicly saying his health insurance takes over half of his monthly income suggested universal or govt sponsored/funded healthcare and wanted to know waht edwards would do about it. Edwards didnt answer the question directly, made some small talk with him to distract him and to make a connection to ensure a vote. Then says he would do everything in his power to make sure everyone has health insurance. The gentleman HAS HEALTH INSURANCE but the costs are overwelming him (the costs are hurting most americans). Why cant they just anwer the questions as posed!

14. or you can look at Edwards web site, and listen to his speeches |
|
and understand that he will do everything humanly possible to make it easier for Dean and Mother.
or you can not do the research and assume that Edwards is being a duplictitous, insincere scam artist (which is basically the way you described him, once you get past the polite words).
Do some of the former (the research) and you just might find that you 'saw' wrong.
And did Dean ask for National Health Care, which is, of course, different from universal coverage? It was unclear. What we know he wants is prices brought down. You will learn that this is exactly what Edwards programs propose.

15. how about because he is ther to win hearts and minds |
|
be as cynical as you wish, but sadly, I think we probably WILL have a politician as our next president, and if its to be a dem he/she has to have a lot of loyal supporters turn out and vote for him/her
actually, the guy fumbled and said "international health care" and Edwards corrected it to "national"; don't read any more into the semantics of what he was looking for; Edwards was being friendly, polite, respectful - not trying to be belligerent and show him up
Read Edward's plan if you aren't interested in his personality and potential electability. You can parse each sentence and pick it apart all you want. And you'll find that he will NOT be unresponsive to this couple's financial stress due to cost of coverage.

16. Gee, BEING Political While Running For President! What A Novel |
|
concept!! While day after day after day, ALL we hear about is Clinton/Obama! Of course, we know THEY would NEVER stoop so low as Edwards does!
I was SOOOOOOO impressed with Hillary when she decided she was "going southern" when she used that DRAWL in one of her speeches! That was STROKE genius on her part... just loved that and made my little heart go Ka-Thump, Ka-Thump!
Oh, I can't do this... don't want to go so negative regarding our candidates, just thought I had to chime in here. At any rate, for what it's worth I JUST think John Edwards is SUPER and his compassion and heart seem to ALWAYS shine through each and every time I see him. I'll take THAT any day as opposed to all that I've seen these past years from BFEE!
So, maybe you can find it in your heart to cut him a "little" slack for now! I mean he IS actually a DEMOCRAT after all! I've become quite cynical myself these past 7 years, BUT I have been trying to staunch my criticism for the Democrats as best I can. I can't say I'm SUPER happy with most of the Congress, but I DO prefer to think that A DEMOCRAT would be head and shoulders over the lying, cheating, corrupt A-Holes who sit upon their throne and dictate their MISGUIDED AGENDA upon this country! I WANT my country back!
Unfortunately, I don't think we WILL get it back until we rise up and REVOLT!

18. its not that hard to find his detailed healthcare plan |
|
Which would allow this man to enrole in a CHEAPER healthcare plan that would cover much more than he probably has.
But that would be too hard to do, huh?
