1. go Edwards go!

Keep speaking the truth Sen. Edwards!

:kick:

[halobeam]

2. Definetely!

I hear him define the Democratic Party in such simple terms. What I mean is, what's the puzzle? We are for the people, the teachers, the nurses, etc.

We are always re-acting to the bull about oh, the dems have no definition. Such bull. It's not difficult to understand it, IMO. We are what the Dem. party has always about. The people.

Edwards defined it in such a way, it gets to the heart of the matter. Good job, John.

btw... yes, I'm glad he said, let's start with the democracy HERE AT HOME....


WAY TO GO!

5. One Of The Most IMPORTANT Parts Of His Speech!

EVERY TIME I see him it makes me Proud to be a Democrat! I've said it many times before, I'm a liberal, he isn't, but this is a man I WILL vote for and I WILL campaign for.

Let's not overlook him simply because some think he's a Green-horn. I think we could do MUCH worse, and his wife is such a BIG PLUS to him! She can really rouse a crowd and I respect her immensely.

Edwards OVER Hillary ANY day!

9. I missed Edwards!!!! Hope it's on replay tonight! Luv the Edwards!

From my heart, I love the Edwards and firmly believe "everyone" can relate to them.

My my mind, Edwards over Hillary anyday. We'll certainly win the Southern votes back without a problem.

Edwards/? 2008 Pelosi? Would love Conyers but he's getting up there though that should not be an issue.

Edwards and ???? Any thoughts?

[ChiciB1]

12. For Me... It's Edwards/Richardson!

This combo covers a LOT of ground! So MUCH POOOO-tential here. Location, Location, Location and that's ONLY the beginning!

Many more facets to this combo, just think about it.

[AuntiBush]

14. Do you have a link for info on Richardson? Would like to read-up on him.

Thanks!

[ChiciB1]

15. I'm Sure There's One Somewhere....

I've just followed Richardson for a long time and have really been impressed by him. Okay DUer's, I know you have a link!

I'll check out the net.

17. This man knows how to speak to America....

And I think we need him desperately. As much as we need him, I think the WORLD needs him. The world needs to hear at last a real voice of compassion and integrity and honesty, who truly speaks for real Americans, coming out of America.

I campaigned hard for this man last year and I will do it again. We are crazy if we don't enlist John Edwards and get him on the payroll working for America at the very next opportunity.

[Stand and Fight]

3. Love that term --

"Yappers on T.V."

[Helga Scow Stern]

4. Nominated! "I gotta get this off my chest...."

"While we're we're working on democracy over there, we had better be working on it here!"

That got a lot of people on their feet with cheering and clapping!

Then he went on to say that no one should have to question whether or not their vote was counted, and said we should have the best system money can buy.

I am not sure who the few disgruntles listeners were, or why C-Span focused on them.

6. Go John, go!!

[MeDeMax]

7. I loved that "get off chest part too" ...

he interjected *'s buzz words very cleverly:

"spread of freedom & democracy and fight against tyranny"

but he raised the issue at an intellectual level not just a play on words or as a punch line.

:applause:

[woodsprite]

8. Ooooh, maybe that "best system money can buy"

should have been changed to something else. Boosh already thinks we have the best system money can buy -- he should know because it's our money he's been using to pay for it.

[AuntiBush]

10. Yeah... Ours! Bush that is!

[joanski0]

11. Take that, you yappers on TV!!!!

I loved it. I got all nostalgic and teared up. We have so many wonderful and intelligent people in the Democratic Party. Why, oh, why, do we have to put up with these liars, murderers and theives currently occupying our White House?
