We Must Keep Supporting John Edwards Progressive Message All The Way To Denver

[Divine Discontent]

Regardless of what occurs in between - John has said he's taking it to the convention - so we need to keep backing him.

All the way - the media be damned!

He is the most ready to lead of the candidates imo. We dare not jettison our support, especially those of us who know this country is just a few feet away from the woodshed, where our democracy and freedoms would be shredded. We are counting on John to take it to Denver and do with those delegates he acquires as he sees fit -

and as long as we fight on - theres ALWAYS hope. Like John said to a reporter saying he must win a state soon - "What I have to do is to continue to acquire delegates. I'm in this for the long haul."

NGU!

2. what a great gesture, we all should do that, it will take less than a minute

I'll put this -


"John, stay in this through the convention, as you said last week, because your message is our very own - we are behind you 100%!"

Dear John, Elizabeth and family,

Please keep up the good fight! You mean more to many forgotten people than you can know. The media must NOT be allowed to pick our President for us! I am so grateful for everything you have done to put attention on the issues that matter.Please stay in the race through Denver.You voices are needed and miracles can happen.Much love to you all!
Sincerely,

[SeattleGirl]

4. Hey saracat.

Cool message. Have you sent this to Edwards? I sent one to him, as I figured that after what happened in Nevada, he could use all the good messages he could get.

:thumbsup:

[saracat]

5. Yes, I did! I really love those guys and all his "real' supporters!

[SeattleGirl]

7. I was editing my post just as you were writing your response.

It was only when I read it the second time that I realized you were posting what you sent to Edwards!

Oy, it's late!

Anyway, I like your message!

[saracat]

10. Just saw the time! After 2AM here.Oy is right!

Thanks!

9. awesome!

John quipped to a reporter who said Edwards must win a state quick to stay in, "What I have to do is to continue to acquire delegates. I'm in this for the long haul."



A funny commentary on why Nevadians didn't back John stronger, beyond the media not talking about him a whole lot,

'Some analysts in Nevada say Edwards's message is a tough sell in the state. David Damore, an associate political science professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, said Edwards's primary message - helping the downtrodden and excoriating corporate America - "doesn't really resonate here."

"This is a libertarian state. To be blunt, we don't care about poor people, and we don't give anything to social services," Damore said.'

Ha... sounds lovely.

13. I was looking for that quote! Do you have a link?????

[Divine Discontent]

15. your wish is my command

http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/01/19/lagging_in_the_polls_edwards_criticizes_foes_and_news_media/

at the bottom. I got the link from slate's blog totally mocking John for 4% and saying he was whining... ugh. The guy then edited to add, "apparently the 4% is because of the 15% viability rule" as if he didn't know this as a freaking blogger for slate... bastards. sorry...

[saracat]

17. Thank you.That quote says it all! They don't desrve John and Ihope they get what they deserve!

[SeattleGirl]

18. "We don't care about poor people"?????

Yeah, until you are one of the poor! Sheesh! :eyes:

[Yael]

21. Indeed they are. Ron Paul took second there and some were calling

for a potential win.

12. Excellent gesture! I will do the same. n/t

[knight_of_the_star]

24. Here is mine

I think its kind of fitting considering what just happened in Nevada:

Dear John,

Don't give up hope, keep the good fight going and surrender nothing. It is not he who is ahead at the beginning of the race that wins but the ones who is first to cross the finish line. I am with you until Denver, please do not give up the good fight!

Keep your head held high,

Ryan Smith

6. Yes! n/t

[Divine Discontent]

11. I believe John will stay in this to get delegates because he just said a few days ago

"What I have to do is to continue to acquire delegates. I'm in this for the long haul."

28. Go John!

we're with you!

We Edwards Supporters are optimists!

25. I'm backing him all the way

and looking forward to casting my vote for John Edwards in November 2008

[Divine Discontent]

27. that's a point missed here

I want to vote for John Edwards, and I haven't got the chance yet. The race is not decided by any means, and I believe it's in John's best interest to wield his power over his delegates however he feels necessary, but he may also surge, and 7-10 point surge puts him right in this, also, as I said - I want vote for Edwards. :)

[Triana]

29. DAMN right. As long as he's in this fight, I'm in it with him!

He has whatever money and support I can give him until HE says it's over and even then I'm likely to write him in in the GE anyway - 'cause I'm SO DISGUSTED and like you - I DO BELIEVE he is our one last chance to save this country.

[stravu9]

30. That's the Spirit!

Go JOHN!

[avaistheone1]

31. I want real change - so I am committed to John Edwards.

32. Thank You!

We need more like you!
