9. Hi OC!
How are you doing tonite?

I thought Edwards would have beaten Hillary tonite :(

But, I sincerely think it's great that Edwards is staying in the race.
He speaks for alot of people and his voice should be heard.

11. We're still stickin' with our guy. I'm goin' great guns. Ran a hell of a lot of
errands today and still had time to listen to some Duke Ellington, Joni Mitchell, and Nick Drake.

17. "I had a king in a tenement castle / Lately he's taken to painting the pastel walls
brown.

He's taken the curtains down

He's swept with the broom of contempt and the rooms have an empty ring

He's cleaned with the tears of an actor who fears for the laughter's sting

I can't go back there any more

You know my keys won't fit the door

You know my thoughts don't fit the man

They never can

They never can..."

Joni Mitchell, "I Had a King," from JONI MITCHELL/SONG TO A SEAGULL

22. "album" works for me, Blue_In_AK! I didn't get any need for an 'oops' !
I've been around a while, and 'album' sounds exactly right.

And that album is a damned masterpiece. I would lick it off the floor.

"Marcie" tears me to bits every time I hear it.

16. Hey Crusoe, good talkin' to you again
You mentioned once on Bidens site that Edwards reminded you of John Kennedy. Saw a video the other day that made me realize how that is how Edwards comes off, a lot of the positve chrisma that JFK had. Glad to join your candidate. His speech tonight was not a poor me narrative. He got angry again and I love it when he gets pissed.

I voted for JFK. I'm an Oldie too. I'm having a toddy so if I'm slurring that's why.

18. You sure make sense, lyonn, whether you're having a toddy or not.
Hello, and welcome, and hallelujah!

I like it when JRE gets his dander up too. It's no wonder the corporations pee their pants every time he's addressing a crowd of citizens.

We're going to bring some serious delegates to Denver and we're going to shape the future of our country.

2. Well, anyone is going to be disadvantaged going right after Obama, but he held up pretty well.
This was much better than his post-IA and post-NH speeches.

6. Yes. I'm leaning Edwards
Still haven't made up my mind due to the luxury of choice, but I really want him to remain a player even if he doesn't win a primary. His message needs to be heard!

12. Sh**t, I do really admire that guy
Hey pirhana, miss Biden like crazy but we have 3 choices now. Edwards at least talks the talk. But, he probably will fade like Biden. Gotta send a few bucks to Edwards just to show good faith and belief that he would be a darn good pres. He at least hasn't been bought by the big boys. How can a person deny that?
