And I hope they were listening.

Peace and ever onward.

2. The only politician to ever make me cry
is John Edwards.

5. And that's why he will win
I talked to the two Republicans in my office today. They both dislike their own candidates, but would prefer to see Obama run anyway because they feel he would be easy for the GOP to beat. The Dem they most respect and fear is Edwards. Give me another week and I'll have them ready to vote for him.

8. Way to go. I agree that Edwards poses the biggest threat to
them and yet, also seems to win them over...interesting.

4. I think Obama
Gave a good follow up speech. Touched on many of Edwards messages. Edwards needs to do better with Unions and poor in the next two or he's done. I think tonights speech on the national stage was a great speech for him. I hope he can build on that in MSM, but you get the feeling they'll bury his message again. It's clear from tonight Obama's message seems to overlap Edwards too much. Hillary... well she didn't do anything to help her tonight. Huckabee have a nice MT message speech. The only thing to note was his inability to talk about any issue or his faith. Which is a bad sign for him in the general election.

6. my girlfriend and i didn't say a word to each other during
his speech. we yacked during clinton, less so during obama.

Edwards was just so sincere and honest. Every media exec. was shitting himself during that speech.

10. Yeah, it was a great speech
and I hope our party has the good sense to nominate him. If not, 2009 may be a very sad time in America.
