Please realize that Obama has had similar low dollar events, but this is still a good video.

2. I felt bad that I missed the Edwards fundraiser but now that I see so many showed up

I don't feel as bad. I had a feeling that for $15 a lot of people would make it.

3. That really speaks

to the difference in how the candidates view the importance of we the people.

4. unfortunately

most people already feel it's either hillary or obama - however, we see what happened to the wonderful dean, and if anyone of the two is capable of unfortunately blowing a good thing - it's O - he's very green when it comes to politics. so I don't count john out yet - I hope he pulls it out but it's going to be tough - he needs funds. the interesting thing is the choice of fundraising - and the types of people most likely at each - everyday Americans (not COMMON!) at one side of the street, and well to do types at the other, rock star like party that's a full 14 months before the election that charges 250. I'm sure edwards has had fundraisers that were 1000 a plate, so that's no slight against O, but it is interesting to see the difference on this night. one thing edwards has going for him is blue collar support, and everyday american rural voter support - this will show up for him big in the first few states.

I think he should really concentrate 90% of his time starting Oct. to Florida, and the other 5 or so early states - showing well there will help him out substantially. His views that he's espousing are for the hard working, and the destitute and judged of society - how can we not support him, but hopefully all will come around.

thanks for the vid.

6. John is the best.

He has the issues on his side. He cares about the people. The economy is in trouble, and he is the only one with the foresight to really grasp the policy mistakes causing our economic problems. Edwards is attacking the disparity in incomes and power that lead to recession in 1929 and will do it again. It is just a matter of when economy buckles under the weight of the top heavy investment class. Unfortunately, as we see with the mortgage company crisis, it's the little guys whose legs give way first.
