In case you want a pick me up, Edwards backers! This is great news. Edwards has went up EVERY day in their polling since Dec. 29th, and up several points each day since Iowa!

1. After weeks of going back and forth...

I finally decided between Edwards and Obama: Edwards (although I would support either of them versus any Republican). I also (for the first time ever I might add) donated money to a campaign. As a college student I have a small income and could only throw in $25.00, but I sure hope it helps a little.

2. WONDERFUL news

about Edwards! :thumbusp: I expect him to keep going up and slidding right passed Clinton and Obama while they are duking it out with each other. :-)

3. Edwards is doing what is right, and by doing what is right is headed toward a win

5. how much air time on radio or TV will the increase since the 29th get him???

8. Edwards is dictating the message.

Regardless of who gets the most votes and is named as the "winner," Edwards wins. Because the other candidates are having to respond to and acknowledge that Edwards' message is the truth. That is what I mean when I say that Edwards wins because he is sticking to what is right and true. What defines a winner? It certainly isn't power. Bush has a lot of power, but he is a loser. That is becoming more and more evident. Ultimately, integrity is defines the winner. And that is what Edwards has.

The press (and I am using that word to indicate a plural, i.e., all members of the press) will not recognize Edwards' greatness. They cannot afford to. Edwards is like the little boy who cried out that the emperor had no clothes.

The (members of the) press know full well that they are the emperor that Edwards is pointing to. Its their lies he is targeting. The press cannot allow Edwards to be heard. They cannot afford to have their lies uncovered.

10. True. Obama and Hillary are both modifying some of their campaign rhetoric

taking pieces of John Edward's talk and platform.

12. And today, Hillary is quoted as saying that "It's personal," with

tears in her eyes. She is borrowing from Edwards

And Obama is suddenly very concerned about the outsourced jobs (although he did not vote against the Peru agreement). Edwards is driving this campaign. If you have money, send it to Edwards. He speaks for us. The press wants to silence him, so we have to speak for him.

That is when the national numbers will come into play.

11. Uh oh. Today's numbers say: Obama UP, Hillary and Edwards DOWN.

Monday, January 07, 2008
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that Hillary Clinton’s national polling lead has collapsed. Before the Iowa caucuses, Clinton held a seventeen-point lead over Barack Obama. Today, that lead is down to four percentage points in a survey with a four-point margin of sampling error.

In the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination, it’s now Clinton 33%, Barack Obama 29% and John Edwards 20%
