and to give his views IN WRITING. He can be held to account for his views because he has made those views clearly known, not hedging with "safe" political dodges. I don't feel the same can be said of either other candidate (although I am impressed with all of them).

Edwards' 80 page book with issues, positions and plans is available online -- download or read it online! It can be found at www.johnedwards.com -- a link available on first page last time I looked.

Please read it and then compare his plans with the answers of the other candidates! I think that's an honest way to approach this election.

Edited to fix "link".

8. I thought so, but one reason I posted was to see if anyone else has something we hadn't heard about.
Also to get that out there for the undecideds. Thanks for posting.

4. I like Edwards
I hope he and Obama don't get too dirty against each others' campaign.

6. Me too. I have lliked how positive and "on message" Edwards has been...
only recently swerving to take on a negative comment like Hillary camp's complaint that he uses the front page for his own benefit or something to that effect. People here howled that his comment after Hillary's supposed "break down" was sexist, but I read him as saying "I can't comment on that" .......... the rest of what he said was simply the truth and could be applied equally well to any and all candidates on the road.
