Edwards reveals the candidate of special interests!!!

[mckeown1128]

Let me just say that I am an Obama supporter but that Edwards is my really close second choice. I like this story because it shows Edwards speaking honestly. He rocks.


Edwards, a former senator from North Carolina, hoped Clinton would be sufficiently weakened Tuesday to give him an opening and, to that end, he aimed his barbs at her instead of the front-runner. He again portrayed her as an agent of the status quo.

"The candidate, Democrat or Republican, who has taken the most money from drug companies is not a Republican," he told a crowd in Lakeport. "It's a Democrat, and she's in this race."
