12. Just keep the fox goons away from this kid. He is an inspiration to what America CAN BE!!
I'm very impressed. These sorts of young people are few and far between. I was an elementary teacher for 30 years, and when you find a young mind that is able to articulate himself in this fashion and be so conscious of manners and respect...it is just inspiring.

I hope John Edwards doesn't let him down...cause I'll be pissing mad if he does!!

I can't wait until he's old enough to run for office himself.

What state is he from? New Hampshire?

Make him president. Old people always screw everything up anyway.

I love Edwards college plan, 10 hrs a week and you get college for free? Won't see any rich people signing up but this would be great for the working class/poor.

I will definitely be showing this to my three young boys. Each election we all stand on a busy Seattle streetcorner with our signs, etc. but this takes it to a whole new level !

I loved when he was talking about Bill Clinton ...

"He did some things outside the White House that kind of creeped me out."

Ha !! ( Actually they were inside the White House, but why quibble ? )

are behaving for him and not slamming the door. Canvassing can be very very tough. What a sweetie! Who wouldn't want someone that sincere and enthusiastic rooting for him? Good vid. Thanks for posting.

How's that for a guilt trip.... "If this young kid can do it, so can you!"
