I agree with Edwards, the surest way to hand a victory in November to McCain, Romney, or Huckabee, will be to continue the infighting. This doesn't serve either candidate, the Democratic Party, or the country well. Stick to the issues; forget the personalities.

go edwards! thank you for your perserverance--
go abcnews! thank you for sharing info on jre--- more please!

I have said before that as I long time Clinton supporter I think they will live to regret the very harsh recent rhetoric. This only serves to split the party and will give Republicans more ammunitions. I am especially surprised at Bill Clintons tone. They really need to tone it down and bring their discussion up to a higher level like John Edwards.

I am still looking forward John Edward to be in the white house next year. If he's not a president, being a vice president of the U.S. still fine.

Thank you for saying something about John Edwards. Not only is he deserving of more coverage, he's also the most worthy candidate for the nomination. His poll numbers will continue to go up around the country as more and more people hear his message of real, transformational change...without the undue influence of corporate lobbyists and PACs.

John Edwards is the best candidate for the job of President. He has a plan that is written out on his website. He's consistant in his answers and he has honesty on his side. He knows that we will never have a chance with lobbyists in the back pocket of the politicians. Hillary Rodham and Barrack Hussein need to stand aside since they aren't willing to give up the money train to help America.

I think that both Obama and Clinton campaigns are showing the true face behind their slogans. Same old politics, dirty tricks, smear campaign tactics and innuendos. They want to win at all cost!
I am tired already of the bickering and nasty stuff coming out from both sides, they are already hurting the party and both candidates are bounded for a match with the Republicans! I'll vote for Edwards!

John Edwards is the biggest fraud of all every Bill this man voted yes to has hurt the same people who are stupid enough to vote for him. You can want him all you like No Person with at least a 6th Grade education will vote for him. He will be done after Sat and out of money! Not his but the tax payers that he gets from Fed matching funds.

He wants your votes but he takes your hard working money to do it.

Its so easy to see how the AMERICAN PEOPLE are like sheep that follow the WOLVES!!!!!!!!!

Nando-They ALL get federal matching funds. I am sure Obama and Clinton get a lot more of our tax dollars in matching funds then does Edwards. He unfortunately had to give in this time around (he did not take matching funds in 2004) to matching funds because the money being raised for campaigns has gotten out of control and it becomes a matter of whoever has the most money wins the election. It's a sad statement about the way we elect those who are supposed to represent us.

The best man for the job is Joe Biden. But ill take either Obama or Edwards as a consolation prize. I will never vote for Hillary. McCain has a better shot at getting my vote.

Nando, the truth is that John Edwards has co-sponsored the Patients Bill of Rights (didn't pass both houses) and has worked hard to make many bills more progressive with some important modifications or amendments. He has said that his vote to authorize the war in Iraq was wrong (something Hillary Clinton has not been willing to say, by the way), and he's the most aggressive candidate on getting us out of Iraq. Clinton and Obama each have raised over $100 million, and have opted out of public financing. Personally, I would much rather have worthy, viable candidates receive public financing than from the likes of Enron, ExxonMobil, and Halliburton, et al, ad nauseum. Although I'm very skeptical of politicians in general, I'm certain about the wisdom of supporting John Edwards for president.

John Edwards is brilliant, and he deserves a more serious look by all Americans. The media needs to give him more attention, as he deals with the issues. Just because he's not a woman, he's not in from a minority ethnic group, he has a Southern accent and he's nice-looking, doesn't mean that he doesn't have brains! Start paying attention!

Peter - that's exactly the reaction the Clintons want you to have. That's why they orchestrated this whole thing to play out like it has. Sure, maybe Obama wins on specific point-by-point analysis, but in the end, its an appearance of two campaigns just going at one another.

Exactly what they want.

Why? Because they know Clinton wouldn't be seen as anything more anyway. And they know Edwards won't have the resources to run a national campaign. So to win all they have to do is give the appearance of knocking Obama down to their level, while helping the media to define his candidacy as that of just another African-American who can do well among African-Americans but who can't win among whites.

Its brilliant, in sort of an evil scientist kinda way.

Edwards needs to go sit down. No one is listening to him and he knows it. His campaign will be toast in a few weeks.

Ha, Obama and Axelrod should be back to Chicago soon so they can strategize how are they going to deal with all the facts coming out of the Rezko trial. The buzz in Chicago is that the Feds and the Prosecutor Fitzgerald will bring down some big names during the trial. Fasten your seat belts!

i love you eric in la, tell it like it is. thanks for all who wrote positive notes for edwards. he is the best candidate on both sides.
mary, i feel sorry for you, you are missing out on a brilliant and hopeful message.

You all sound very nice. But you need to read Sam Donaldson piece. It's not a garden party. It never has been. In fact, before T.V., it was far worse. The papers sensationalized it all, but it was in words. The papers sold like crazy, even though it was ugly. So now it's on T.V., no where near as ugly as it used to be. But it’s still sensationalized, 'cause ratings count.

i agree irma, sad but true, across the ages- i guess it is human nature, we must hold on against the current, try to stay grounded in the madness. edwards message is easiest for me to hold on to. i believe he is genuine. not wanting to play games. the others are good people. i just dont feel they see the whole picture as strongly as jre

Great news, the Edwards campaign announced that in the first 25 days of this quarter, campaign has raised more online than the whole 4th quarter - the vast majority of which will be doubled by federal matching funds!!

Go Edwards!!

Your platform is EXACTLY what this country needs but you're a pathological liar so nobody believes in you.
