Reply #20: I think it's great Edwards is doing this. [View All]

I really, really do. I hope his message is heard loud and clear.

That doesn't mean I think he's the best choice for Commander in Chief...there are a multitude of considerations that go into that equation.

I hope that whoever the nominee is, they will be strongly pro-labor, and set a real goal of reducing the poverty level with real benchmarks and timelines. We need to be accountable to the American people. I think we also need to realize, as I'm sure Edward's does, that poverty, like immigration, the environment, and security, is a global issue, and has to be looked at from a global as well as a national perspective.

Really, national security begins with economic security for our own. We cannot be a strong world leader otherwise.
