5. He's doing great!
He said that the administration is incompetant and "they don't know how to govern." Stated how it is evident in the Iraq War and the hurricane disasters.

When first on he said the election results were bad for him, "but even worse for the country."

Love this man. Love 'em.

6. I'm shallow..John Edwards is so
Darling! Cute, Precious, Attractive! And he looks better than ever.

Also, he's saying all the right things! It's good the way he's sayin' ..that, "it's really bad for this country" ..the incompetence the bushwa is displaying.

kinda of embarrassing me tonight with all that talk about Tom Cruise's you know what.. but all the other political stuff he talks about just makes Laugh.

Like when he was asking John about if it was with the bushwa.. "incompetence, arrogance, or are they actually from this country?" :D

That line about them not being from this country WAS good.

ahead---but if the system (taxes, health insurance, bankruptcy, drug prices) is rigged against them before they even start, what are they to do?

20. This statement is applicable to our foreign policy as it is to domestic
policy.

We aren't only exploiting the working people in the US, we are exploiting the work that is done in nations all over the globe.

We would be so much better in America and around the globe if our driving principle were not to take as much as possible from people who work to create wealth.

Edited on Wed Oct-05-05 10:34 PM by insane_cratic_gal
is he running in 2008?

We really need an unsung hero for the 2008 run. He seems like such a straight shooter, with elegance of his wife and smarts of Kerry but the honesty of Dean. He's well rounded.

27. I hope he is the nominee in 2008
I think he can be a uniter. The worst things the right could come up against him was he has pretty hair and he's a lawyer. After this fiasco with Bush/Cheney/Condi/Rummy etc a lawyer sounds darn good.

He and Elizabeth are wonderful people. No offense meant to Gore, Kerry, or Hillary but they carry a lot of garbage with them.

I'm really hoping we go with John Edwards.

28. He was fantastic.
Edwards certainly has charisma. He has that special ability of being able to laugh at himself, like JFK had.

I loved when he said the Bushies are incompetent...we need more Dems speaking out and saying the same thing.

I was lucky enough to meet him at a rally in Johnstown, PA last September. He speaks from the heart.

One last thing. He's hot. :loveya:

33. He understands those who endure hardship.
Edited on Wed Oct-05-05 10:40 PM by Gregorian
His sympathy made it clear to everyone how much of America needs us. And how they've been ignored by this administration. He understands the heartbreak.

I'd prefer it if he were more DU. I want some angry swinging of fists. No, he didn't lose the election. No, Katrina was much more than just mismanagement and incompetence.


edit- Hey, Jon didn't try to force an admission out of him about running. Hmmm.

38. Edwards was excellent.
He mentioned that he realizes that people are looking for leadership and conviction. It's good to hear that they know that. It means we're getting though.

Although, and this is just my tinfoil, he was talking to the Daily Show crowd. He might just know his demographics.

Anyway, the rest of the show was good, as well.

I'm recommending this thread because it is so nice to see everyone on a thread saying positive things (so far) about a Democrat.

52. John's blog is here for anyone interested. He made some great
comments about voting. He backs a voter verified paper trail!

I'm out, but feel free to continue the conversation.

http://www.oneamericacommittee.com/

Many of the worst problems happened in Ohio. After the election, 28 percent of voters there reported problems with their voting experience. These problems were ones that shouldn't exist in America, like intimidation and not being able to find your polling site. The racial disparities within these problems are especially alarming: in Ohio, African American voters were twice as likely as white voters to experience problems.

The result of these problems is a dramatic blow to our faith in our democratic system: in Ohio in 2004, only 19 percent of African Americans were confident that their vote was counted correctly. That's not the way it should be in America.

So, while I commend the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) for taking another look at problems in our voting system, I'm concerned that these guidelines - just like those issued in 1990 and 2002 - do not go far enough.

The main problem with these guidelines is that they don't require voting machines to produce a voter-verified paper trail. That means that voters still would be unable to verify something as simple as the fact that their vote was properly cast. To improve on the problems of 2004, voting machines simply must be required to produce a paper trail.

57. The color of John's eyes is "blue neen"
Ok, I admit it is late at night. But I read in this thread:

zidzi: "I'll just bet he does! Those eyes! blueneen!"

mzmolly: "Hey there blue neen! "

Which I read as 'hey, they're blueneen' - meaning his eyes

Now I realize there is a poster called "blue neen" and that isn't really the unique color of John Edwards' eyes....

:crazy:
Ok, I'm going to bed!

That sounds better, huh?


blue green neen, blue green neen. It kind of has a ring to it. :)

Edwards does have beautful eyes though, and I think they are blue. Actually I believe I like the "true blue" character that shines through them.

We really need someone like him out there speaking truth to power.

BTW, welcome to DU! :toast:

I think I'd better go and get some shut eye, so these eyes will not be red tomorrow.
