1. Damn straight...

....and I'll be with him all the way.

[pioneer111]

3. The race is on and Edwards is in this to win!!!!

I like his attitude and I am sticking with him. !!!!

[Triana]

5. I'm stealing those icons!

... :)

[saracat]

2. The peoples president.

[bdamomma]

22. he certainly is, and he speaks with deep conviction too.

[midnight]

4. On your mark, get set, GO!!!!!!!! John is just moving out of the

gate..... He knows how to go the distance.

[Helga Scow Stern]

6. That man is for real.

Nothing is as eloquent as the truth.

[Redneck Socialist]

7. Jesus, what's wrong with people

I'll never understand why candidates like Edwards can't get elected in this country.

[mac2]

10. Both parties want Neo Cons

[EVDebs]

14. Not really, Iowa turnout and New Hampshire's tendencies

Only 11-12% of voters in Iowa voted in the caucasus; NH was and still is apparently a bit too conservative for most of New England.

[AmBlue]

16. It's not The People, it's the CON.

CON = Corporate Owned News

[ashlarah]

18. We have to fight CON

from the grassroots. It is the only way. They won't make it easy, but if Americans understand the stakes - Democracy itself - they will take up the cause.

Edwards is the perfect leader for this cause. He is the real thing and will fight for real people.

CON can see its end everytime they are forced to broadcast one of his speeches.

[Catchawave]

25. Proves how strong corporations are

they want fuzzy bunnies they can control :evilgrin:

31. I'm With You... As A Boomer Who Has Been Around For A Long Time

I just don't get it myself!! I have stated this so many times now I feel like a broken record, but if it's NOT John Edwards, I'm OUT! This is my LAST campaign as an activist, I can't do this anymore!

It's just like beating your head against a wall, and FINALLY you realize that your head REALLY hurts, is bruised and battered, and that says NOTHING about the heartbreak!

Some will call it being a "sore loser" but it's ANYTHING but... as I said, I've been in the trenches for a very long time, since McGovern... I KNOW how to lose because it's happened all too often. I just can't take anymore of the stupid NONSENSE anymore. And all the fighting that goes on here is completely over the top! If someone just logged in here from another country thinking this was a DEMOCRATIC blog site, I'm sure they wouldn't believe it. I suppose a lot can be blamed on the last 7 years and what The Idiot, Decider and his cohorts have done to this country, but there comes a time when DEMOCRATS need to be held accountable too!

Since 2006, we've seen so little change at all... and it seems we AREN'T going to get any either. My husband asked me a couple of days ago why I put myself through this and I have been thinking about it ever since. I can't come up with a good reason anymore! What I felt I was doing was trying to make a "better" place for those who come after me, but in reality I can't say that anymore. I really don't think my little voice is going to be heard by our government, and I don't feel like they give a rat's ass! Call it what you will, but for me it's just being deeply HURT, and an overwhelming feeling of loss. I understand each generation brings different views, THAT I can live with, but for a country that was founded on the premise of Democracy to let itself be run by the "powers that be" doesn't look or feel like Democracy at all!

Living in Florida has given me a good taste of how my vote may not have ever been counted and that it may NEVER be counted again.

[Redneck Socialist]

44. Yeah, I've pretty much lost my appetite for big "P" politics these days

I now spend most of my activist energies working on local environmental issues. I find that to be for more rewarding than working on campaigns anymore. And this coming from someone who earned a living for a time doing campaign work.

It's just become too much, the loses too great. I just can't muster the enthusiasm I use to.

[Hulk]

33. Corporate America... lobbyists.... corruption.

It's been that way for as long as I remember.

[bobbolink]

37. It's all "IMAGE", that's why. Obama gives "hope", and that's what people want.

No substance, no real plan, just talk "hope" and people will flock.

:mad:

[mac2]

8. I was reminded that the three states to have the first

choice of a Presidential candidate are all Conservative...and rural. In Iowa they are allowed to attend the caucus even though they are Republican. Was that on purpose DNC?

Record votes because the Republicans are showing up to vote for a candidates who their's can beat? Looks that way to me from here. We don't get to vote in a primary until February.

Seems the push is away from liberal states who are most of the democrats by population. Edwards may be right...the other 48 matter.

Many industrial states have question about jobs and the bad trade deals, rights, war, etc. Unions are one thing...world government and open borders with huge influx of illegals (from all other the world) are another.

The discussion and issue are framed in those first three states by the media. Get out of my voting booth...talking RW heads!!

[EVDebs]

15. True, see post #14 nt

[Misskittycat]

9. Go Edwards. n/t

[ultraist]

11. Go John Go!

:kick:

[Gloria]

12. I'm with him to the end....even if it means writing him in in November....

[ChiciB1]

32. That Is Precisely What I'm Going To Do!! Except I Won't Be Able To

write him that I know of. I'll just have to skip down and NOT vote because of "our" machines here! Not that it may matter much! But still I feel just like you do.

[bobbolink]

38. That's what I've decided to do, also! I'm DONE with the least of two weavils!

:thumbsup:

[mb7588a]

13. I'm speechless. thanks for posting. nt.

[ashlarah]

17. My voice will be heard February 5th

when I caucus for Edwards in Colorado. I went to a local Dem meeting tonight, and I can tell you I won't be alone! He had strong supporters at the meeting and many leaners.

This really is a grassroots campaign and we will have to fight corporate media every day to win it. It is critical that we do because we desperately need a president to fight for the people.

Go John Go!

[colorado_ufo]

19. You will speak for me!

[bobbolink]

39. I"ll be caucusing in Colorado on Feb 5, also, and dragging friends along, too!

As a homeless person, I was discounted and ignored by the Colorado Dems, so I'm trying hard to start my own group -- of poor folk supporting Edwards!

[LoveForPeace]

20. Good for him, good for America

[bdamomma]

21. what a speech, and what a fighter, I am sticking with him to the end.

[BrklynLiberal]

23. I heard this speech last night and it made me smile from ear to ear.

I am also among those who are sticking with Edwards until he is sworn in on Jan 20, 2009!!!!!

[Pretty_in_CodePink]

35. I liked it too. Better than Obama's I thought

Though in the interest of full disclosure I was starting to nod off. Obama talks about change - Americans want change, need change. But Edwards talks about what the people need in very personal terms. I find that powerful and authentic.

[bobbolink]

40. Obama-- "Hope and change." "Hope and change." How?

"Hope and change."

No real plan, just hope.

NO!

[onehandle]

24. kick. nt

[mother earth]

26. K & R! He's the only one they can't buy! Edwards all the way!

:kick:

[zazzle]

29. Exactly! Edwards is not for sale - and hasn't watered down his message at all

[balantz]

27. Go John!

[zazzle]

28. Oh no! we can't support Edwards because the CORPORATE media ignores him! ;>

[smokey nj]

30. Kick!!

[Ninga]

34. Come On John...what surprise do you have up your sleave? I'm pulling for you.

[DemDogs]

36. Our chance to prove the MSM wrong - call to action

The MSM have written Edwards out of the story from the first day. Without all the money and without any free press he is still in the hunt. Let's prove the MSM wrong. Get out your address book and email everyone you know, especially in Nevada and South Carolina, that they need to show the country that our elections are about more than contributions collected and that they can't be decided by Chris Matthews and John King. You know they are going to continue to cut him out. He needs us. Blog, write, complain, donate, volunteer. Show the MSM whose election this is. They seem to think they are the ones who get to decide. This is a call to action. Wuit talking about it and DO IT NOW.

[focusfan]

41. I will vote for him(John Edwards)

i think if people will stop and think they will see John
Edwards is what America needs

[waiting for hope]

42. I just had to watch it again -

He's in this to win, and I can't think of anyone more qualified, dedicated and committed to leading this country.

GO, JOHNNY! GO!

[Yael]

43. Adding a rec. WONDERFUL speech.
