Reply #6: Edwards war vote, and other duplicity, is the reason he hasn't caught on.

[Milo_Bloom]

The majority of people don't TRUST him, no matter how good his message sounds.

People want to come up with all types of tin foil hat theories about how the MSM is keeping him down and how he isn't raising money from lobbyists (which isn't true, he has 18,000+ in his coffers from lobbyists), but the reality is that Edwards is the "Listen to what I say, not what I do" candidate and because of that people don't trust him.

He is campaigning AGAINST his own record, which includes a vote for war and baffling senate floor speech where he labeled two bit dictator Hussein a threat to America. Votes on the bankruptcy bill, free trade for China, limiting liability for nuclear plants, etc..etc.. not to mention his after senate activities working for company that was knee deep in predatory lending.

The fact that Edwards' campaign is dead in the water gives me real hope for the future... it tells me that people aren't going to fall for frilly words alone anymore, they are going to want SUBSTANCE, which is something 2008 Edwards seriously lacks.
