The Pro-Edwards crowd reminds me of hope
Keep up the good work Pro-Edwards supporters. Edwards will peak at the right moment in Iowa and the wave of victory will carry Edwards to the nomination.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT FLAMEBAIT.

9. Me, too
He's the only one of the candidates that truly is inspiring, wanting to help everybody make better lives for themselves. And he's definitely the only one who makes poverty a priority issue.

3. I hope he wins in Iowa, and then the MSM will start playing him more.

5. I table for Edwards, and I'm not worried. He has a lot of support,
but people have not been exposed to his name and ideas as much as they have to Hillary's. I hope all Edwards supporters have joined One Corps and are working on the Edwards campaign.

6. Edwards himself exudes HOPE.
It's infectious. And this country needs an epidemic of HOPE in the worst way.

7. That would be very good.
There is still plenty of time for the dust to settle and see how things work out, for all the candidates. Well, not the Repucs. They are all still pretty boring. :)

10. Wouldn't you rather trash him for his house?
Or his hair? Or the fact that he's a hypocrite because he's talking about the poor, yet he's rich?

:hi:

11. I'm worried about the numbers, but not sure I believe them anyway.
But there is now more and more evidence that the republicans and the media are all against him.
(Two more reasons to get him elected...)

13. Thanks. Remember, corrupt as the media is, a story's a story
and one of the most reliable plots is the hopeful underdog one. If he defies that old oxymoron "conventional wisdom" and hits the ground running, the excitement of the moment and the message can very well propel him forward. It's going to probably be a mere month before the whole thing's over.

He's a good guy; hopefully people will see that he's really got a shot and get swept away with it.
