"I represent the grown-up wing of the Democratic Party."

[Labors of Hercules]

John Edwards said today alluding to last nights debate:

"While Senator Clinton and Senator Obama were hurling charges and countercharges at each other, I was thinking, `I'm John Edwards and I represent the grown-up wing of the Democratic Party.'" http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080122/ap_on_el_pr/clinton_obama

And so you do, John... You represent me, that's for damn sure. :patriot:

7. Because the grown up wing is made up of those...

Who see past race and gender to look at the real person. Unfortunately, we appear to be a minority in this primary season.

9. He represents ME TOO even though I'm a Hillary supporter.

I hate this war between Democrats and wish they would just stick to the issues and "act like adults".
However, I guess that's too much to ask for and is just wishful thinking.

10. Maybe it is, but luckily, optimism comes with experience!

:woohoo:

[jgraz]

11. First time I've heard a politician use the phrase "grown-up"

and NOT mean it as a synonym for pro-war, anti-worker corporatism.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

12. good line and hurts Obama

[Tennessee Gal]

14. Damn straight!

The American electorate needs to wake up. And soon!

[midnight]

15. Yes you do John...I hope that this was made clearer to

those viewers who are lucky enough to watch cable, and care enough about this debate.

[teleharmonium]

16. it's easy when you don't matter

So Obama is not "grown up" because Hillary throws him under the bus ?

Hey John, in the highly unlikely event you start to matter, who do you think gets the next turn under the attack machine ?

[michaz]

17. It is not about who is being thrown under the bus......

it is about how you react and respond when you are! There is a right way and a wrong way and both Hillary and Obama chose the wrong way! It was the worst "show" they could have put on and they acted like little children.

[stravu9]

19. Show 'em we ARE the GROWN UP WING!

don't deign to answer all the attack posts .
it just perpetuates them .
do like John , keep positive and on point.
they want nastiness, don't drink the kool aid!
let them wallow in their own filth!
they seem to enjoy it!


be better than the rest, GO JOHN!
