Edwards is way more electable than Kerry. He has more fire and more crisima and is more likely to connect with all Americans, I personally trust the son of a mill worker much more than the upper crust Kerry.
I am planning on going over to Edward's site and give them some pointers maybe this time they will listen.

1. Is it me or is there a disconnect in your subject line? |
|
Why, if you think Edwards is more electable (and especially after he just placed 2nd in Iowa) would you ask if it is too late for Edward to "opt" out?

4. I meant opt out of matching funds. |
|
Is there any way to get out of it? I mean it can not be written in stone. Edwards is dead if he has a low spending cap, the nominee is dead if we have a spending cap. There is no getting around it. I like Kerry enough to vote for him but now I feel like we might be stuck with him b/c of his decision to opt out. Edwards is a better GE candidate i don't think that Kerry has the drive to beat Bu$h.

Are elections only won by bribery (perhaps they are)? By TV advertising that serves as media bribery (perhaps they are)? Is it because someone has begged you for money repeatedly under any of these premises?

5. I was under the impression the spending cap applies only to the primaries. |
|
But I could be wrong. Anyone know?

That you should have that opinion. As a North Carolinian, I can't dismiss Edwards' opportunism. If Dean drops out, I'm going to Kerry.

9. Father's occupations may not be the best way to choose a candidate |
|
Reagan's fatther was a shoe salesman. Nixon's father was a grocer and service station owner.
