Opinions on polls and candidates reads more like a gossip column than a factual account of what the prospective candidates have to offer. Fact 1 : Having the money does not equal an automatic win. Fact 2: Opening your eyes to past fraudelant activity and lies from the candidates could save your own life. Fact 3 : The only thing that matters is who is qualified and who has experiance to lead. Neither Democrat does. Clear enough?

Watching the debates and listening to the exchange of plans, I could not help be think of how pre war Germans must have listened to the speaches of Hitler. Promises of a nation where government mandated everything to protect, employ and feed the economically devestated country. Does anyone wonder how these mandates erode our freedoms? Will there be concentration camps for those who do not agree with her plan? I fear this agenda will lead our nation back to the days when reservations and false treaties swept the Indians out of the path of Washington's greed. For every "mandate", there is a freedom lost. Our nation needs to be aware that it has happened before and it will repeat if we do not use due dilligence to protect our rights.

Thank goodness someone is being the grown-up. I've always liked John Edwards and here he is talking bread and butter issues-- unlike the others who are flinging mud back and forth. Lets have more of the substance and less of the fluff. I'm glad that Mr. Edwards has decided to stay in the race and keep bringing the issues to the people.

To Vel: Freedom is not lost by lifting people out of poverty, educating them,or teaching them a skill to work. It increases their freedom. It empowers them. (It also stimulates the economy.)Freedom is lost when there is great disparity between the rich and the poor.

Hitler?,concentration camps?, reservations?,broken treaties? Really?

It is becoming clear that John Edwards is the only candidate who can repair the damage Clinton and Obama are doing to the Democratic coalition. If neither of them has a majority of convention delegates going in, Edwards could well be the only candidate left standing. In that situation, the ones with 40 or 45 percent have no more power than the one with 10 or 20 percent, and less if the other's delegates won't accept them.

Bill Clinton is dumping his "unholy" investments and "partnerships" with corrupt foreign countries . This is a sign of vulnerability. They must be feeling threatened. More needs to be done to remove the veil of a corrupt history.

Rolando,
If we fail to learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.

I am disgusted by Bill & Hillary Clinton actions. I believe she is showing her true colors and how THEY would lead this country down a destructive path. All they truly care about is power and money. They have taken plenty from the lobbist and special interests. Do they really understand the poor, minorities and the shrinking working middle class who have been tapped out? Have they ever wondered how they were going to pay for medicine, a doctor's or hospital bill or money for food. I don't think so, she comes from the North Shore of Chicago and growing up in Arkansas around blacks does not make Bill Clinton black. I was offended by Andrew Youngs comment of such. Obama needs to get some more experience under his belt and to grow up too. Come back in 4 years and I might vote for him. Voters need to wake up and pay attention to the one candidate who has stayed with real issues and concerns of American. Who has not taken one dime from lobbist and who comes from the working class. John Edwards. He has my vote.

I agree with former Senator Edwards in that Mr. Obama's childish rants and pouts are not the necessary ingredients embodied in a mature person required to be this nation's chief executive. Since his defeats in New Hampshire and Nevada, Mr. Obama, apparently demonstrating his true self, has become hot tempered, combative, angry, nonsensical, and attempting to blame former President Clinton and others, rather than himself for his failures.

John Edwards is the only one who makes any sense. I'm tired of the mud slinging of Barack, and don't feel he is at all qualified to deal with the complex issues facing this country today.

John Edwards yet again proved that he is the one who can lead on issues, on substance, and on presidential bearing. Who do we want representing us to other leaders of the world? The adult in the room who talks about this issues and leads on them, or the two who throw sand in each other's eyes?

John Edwards is the only true choice for the nomination. Without him, the Dems lose another general election!

Edwards stands out when there is so much turmoil going on between the other two candidates. John Edwards, I hope you win this election. It could happen!

Edwards is right! In times like these we can't trust the presidency to a novice! We need someone with integrity,
honor and experience!
John McCain!

John Edwards has done nothing for American politics. He couldn't win Iowa after campaigning their for almost 3 years. And what did he do significant as an one-term U. S. Senator? I have not heard him say, or anyone for that matter of any single billl he authored or coauthored that passed while he was in the senate.

He got rich as a trial lawyer fighting corporations. O.K. But what does that do when you are in bed alledgedly with some hedge fund of subprime?
GIVE US A BREAK!!!

His judgement is questionable as well: He voted for the war and couldn't win Iowa, and John Kerry wouldn't endorse him! SOMETHING FACTUAL OR FALSE?

The Clintons nor Edwards can bring the country together or unify the necessary voters to win in November. The only candidate that can is Sen. Obama.

Obama '08

I disagree. I think John's professional, political, and personal experiences have been excellent preparation for the presidency. He's not divisive. John will unite the country - his unfavorables are very low. The majority of the country likes him. Kerry lost the ticket, not John. John was the reason many people voted for them. Kerry's energy and passion pail in comparison to John's. Kerry reminds me of the aloof high-mindness I get from Obama. On experience, John's served a full term in the Senate (unlike Obama), where he passed the bipartisan patients bill of rights. Back in N.C., he has dedicated himself to strengthening the middle class and ending poverty. I prefer John to Obama because John is more progressive. I don't want to be united in a country that's advancing a republican agenda - to even mention Reagan for any purpose should be a major wake up call. Obama's vote for the energy bill is indicative of the kind of policies he'd support as president. Also, he's taken money from corporate america and has former lobbyists working on his campaign. Real change cannot be achieved by anyone beholden to big money. After the beating we've taken under Bush, we need a true liberal to return us to the middle.

It is easy to be a grown up when you are not being attacked! Edwards thinks we are stupid. You don't need to throw punches when you are only a bystander. Also, he is always reminding the American people of the fact that we need to sacrifice in order to see a better America. How about him sacrificing by getting out of the race now? Every vote for Edwards is a vote for Hillary!

I liked Edwards some what until the last debate. His attacks on Obama changed that. When he kept on and on about Obamas 100+ votes a "present" in Illnois, it was making me angry. If little old me, dumb voter could understand what that meant (if enough legislators voted "present" the bill went back for tweaking and was not voted down or in.) Why couldn't Edwards understand that. Even after the explanation again and again, that Illinois is not the Senate, it's voted on differently!
He doesn't want Bill "Rove" Clinton attacking him, so he took the cowards way out! Look at me Bill "Rove" Clinton, I'm attacking the same guy as you, don't attack me!
Some pundits thought he won the debate. In my mind he lost, BECAUSE he gave in to the same old dirty politics, that the Clintons are known for. He will not get my vote, even as VP!!!!

Edwards has been the only leader throughout the primary season. Both Clinton and Obama have been copying Edwards' plans and campaign speeches. In 2003, Edwards spoke about America needing hope and change. Now Obama is talking about hope and change. For almost 4 years, Edwards has been talking about corporate greed destroying the middle class. Now Obama and Hillary is talking about it. Both of them have also copied Edwards' plans on healthcare, the economy, etc. Frankly, I am tired of Obama and Clinton copying Edwards. It's sad that neither one of them is capable of creating their own solutions to fix Bush's mess. If either gets to the presidency, then you better pray they have Edwards on speed dial. Both Hillary and Obama will need Edwards to help lead. So far Obama and Clinton are following Edwards like a lost puppy.

yes i like edwards clear thinking no schmoozching ways. he has our best at heart. he will honestly try to fullfill any pledge he takes. it is in his soul to help this country!
