you know, this is hard for me to admit but one of the reasons i "trust" Edwards is that i can't help but think if i found out my wife had cancer i would be the best human being i could possibly be. And uphold myself to the most damning standards, no doubt. I can't imagine the pain and sacrifice they must be enduring on this campaign trail. That they choose to do this together despite the odds means to me they are COMMITTED to this cause. I don't feel the same sense of PERSONALNESS from the other 2.


As for his Senate record and bad votes... i can't forget them, but i believe as President he will have the power to shape the policy and the Democratic Agenda, whereas as a first term Senator beholden to Party and Politics his options and input/understanding was limited.

With Kucinich out, i am now officially on the Edwards bandwagon...

I still have hope for a solid Working class in this country. I still look forward to having my first Union card. I still believe one day we all WILL have medical coverage. I try to do the best with the information i have, using an open heart and an open mind. If that's not enough, i don't know what is...
