1. He's cooked.
I watched him just now. I just don't think he is on the same level with everyone else.

21. You're right. Edwards is head and shoulders above them.
He is fresh, dynamic appealing, optimistic. Winner.

4. last election
I talked to some of the older people at the last election(the one with the nonpartisan ballot initiative). They believe that this generation won't get to see their "FDR" in their lifetime.

19. lol
FDR did so much. I heard Truman's VE day speech, "I only wish that Franklin D Roosevelt had lived to witness this moment", FDR sigh I wish he had lived.

16. Lincoln and FDR are the reasons we have the country we have today
and which is valuable enough for Bush to want to take for his cronies.

If he wins South Caroline, he's a player.

20. Have you read his programs relating to the disabled yet?
Are they inadequate, or will you not even look at them?

8. Dean: "… come together under the Democratic tent, as they did under FDR."

I want people with confederate flags on their trucks to put down those flags and vote Democratic--because the need for quality healthcare, jobs, and a good education knows no racial boundaries. We have working white families in the south voting for tax cuts for the richest 1% while their children remain with no health care. The dividing of working people by race has been a cornerstone of Republican politics for the last three decades--starting with Richard Nixon. For my fellow Democratic opponents to sink to this level is really tragic. The only way we're going to beat George Bush is if southern white working families and African American working families come together under the Democratic tent, as they did under FDR.

17. Thats great too
I know you like Kucinich and I see DK mention FDR often. FDR I agree with you while he had his flaws was the best. We need another FDR.

11. He did great at the JJ Dinner tonight
I thought it was the best appeal that I've seen him make. He was also very skillful in his jabs at Dean for his anger. So far I've seen him, Gep, Kucinich and Kerry and Edwards was by far the best of the group.
