Edwards doesn't just talk the talk he walks the walk [View All]

Prime example - he has refused to accept PAC or special interest money of any kind and opted for a publicly financed campaign. While this may ultimately be to his detriment (Obama outspent him by 4 times in Iowa), he has gained my respect for being true to his message. I am sick and tired of hearing politicians pander to us by telling us they are going to change things and make them better. In the current system, the only way to change things is to take special interest money and corporate greed and influence out of play. A candidate cannot effectively do that when theyare dependent upon funding from these interests to get elected or re-elected. Quite frankly, I think we need to pass a law to mandate that all presidential elections are publicly funded - that way everyone is operating on an equal playing field.
