Go John Go
Edwards 2008
"The Peoples President"
returning the government back to "We the People"

99 counties in Iowa? Wow, what a claim to fame for Mr. Edwards. That's a lot of fried chicken and mashed potatoes. And corn, don' forget the corn. Now, in the other major news of the day....

WE CANT AFFORD TO THAVE A YOUNG/ DONT DO ANYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY JOHN EDWARDS AND BARACKO OBAMA. CLINTON IS VETERAN AND WELL EXPREIENCE- IWANT CLINTON NOW- SURPLUS LIKE BEFORE/CREATE JOB AND ETC.
GOD PLEASE DONT LET THE REPUBLICAN GET THE WHITE HOUSE IT RUIN THIS COUNTRY FOR THE THIRD TIME.

Laura,

Cap key.

P.S. Do you know Roger Morris?

Edwards missed his best chance to be the nominee when he couldn't answer a simple question about the plight of African-American women with AIDS in his debate with Cheney. He also looked like Robin without Batman next to the Penguin.

Edwards is by far the best candidate, He has the background, the experience, the leadership abilities, and the charisma required of a President, if only he could get some more support.
Edwards '08!

Laura,
What state will Hillary win that Kerry didn't?? Or Obama for that matter?? Edwards is the only candidate speaking to truly liberal ideals that JFK and FDR would be proud of. Hillary is just business as usual, where the rich get SUPER-rich and the poor and middle classes stagnate and begin to list....

It's time we had a women's perspective on the world in the White House. The Bush Administration's Cowboy diplomacy has shown what male chauvanism can do to this country-destroy it. Before we start worrying about internal issues at home, we need a leader who knows world affairs and can get in there and start dealing with foreign leaders-getting our nation out of the battles we have gotten ourselves into. Edwards and Obama aren't capable of doing that. Then Hillary will use her experience with the health care debacle to sit with the congress and devise a fair universal health plan for middle class Americans. Just as Bill created prosperity for the middle class, Hillary has our interests at heart. She isn't stupid. She knows who her constituents are. She has been a great senator for the state of NY and will be an incredible president. It is too bad some women and most white men can't get beyond the fact that they see a woman seeking power as manipulative while they would see a man doing the same as Hillary as being ambitious. American women need to examine the way they were raised and see what is really holding them back from voting for Hillary. Saying they don't want a Bush/Clinton dynasty is a poor excuse, especially when the most qualified person running is Hillary Clinton, by far. You need to examine your psyche's to see what really keeps you from supporting a woman. If it is because Hillary stood by Bill and you wouldn't have, who are you to judge someone else's marriage vows? How do you know all of the intricacies of the marriages of your next door neighbors? How many of them have slept around and stay together for convenience-one reason or another? We don't know. Hillary asks that you don't pry into her marriage and she isn't into prying into yours. Look at the skills of the candidates and vote based on that.

Woman's perspective... I wonder if Mrs. Clinton will really bring a woman's perspective to the White House. And what does this mean? I am a woman, and as a woman I would hope that most politicians (on the democratic party ticket at least) transcend the notion of a maintaining a "woman's or man's perspective" and can tailor a more universal and fair perspective.

This I know for sure: she'll bring quite a number of special interest friends. In this sense, I would almost prefer a less seasoned politician.

I applaud John Edward's effort to get out and see rural Iowa. He seems to be the only democratic candidate with a clear domestic agenda. Hillary is vainly championing the antequated "Invisible American" mantra... the invisible Americans of the 2000s are the poor and middle class. The ones who can't take advantage of the ridiculously low 15% Capital Gains tax, which is far below comensurate income tax levels. (By the way, the fact that this tax is only 5% for the lowest brackets is a complete farce considering since families in these brackets can't afford to invest any capital, leave alone save even a sliver of a percentage.)

Note the last two posting by women how long and drawn out they were!!! Can you imagine what Hillary's State of The Union Address will be like LOL

To the matter of gender in this political race ... remember that in the UK they elected Margaret Thatcher. If being a woman is the be-all, end-all consideration for voting it sure leaves some GIANT loopholes.

There is no question that Clinton is tied, even entrenched with lobbyists and big business as usual.

Edwards is the ONLY candidate (outside of Kucinich, who unfortunately has no chance of being elected) who will make a REAL difference for us.

When he wins Iowa (or places a strong second) watch his numbers go up in a big way.

If you want to elect a Democrat to the White House in 2008,
If you want our next president to provide real leadership on the issues of our times- Global Warming, Health Care, the War in Iraq, Poverty, etc etc then there really is only one candidate to support-- John Edwards!!! Clinton and Obama have not come out strong on issues, and what positions they have expressed are simply re-hashed John Edwards ideas. I urge you all to take a stand and support the only candidate who can beat the Republicans --John Edwards.

I fail to understand why Democrats--to win in 2008--do not pose a balanced and reasoned view regarding illegal immigrants. At the national level, why don't they call for U.S. birth certificates or U.S. passports to vote and to receive major benefits such as Medicare and Social Security benefits, as well as better border control? At the state level, why don't they call for U.S. birth certificates, U.S. passports, or U.S. resident visas from instate applicants to (well subsidized) state colleges and universities? DP
