Obama has blew past Edwards in my estimation
Obama is really coming on strong and now I must say I may have been mistaken when I discounted his campaign.

Obama has definitely given "my girl" things to consider in terms of a challenge.

The difference between him and Edwards is Obama makes his disagreements quite properly on policy, while Edwards is going the low moving-on-belly route attacking Hillary personally on character issues.

Obama also seems to couch his criticisms like a gentleman, while Edwards is acting like a bully and using his manliness to try and show Hillary who is boss. What a turn off! Does he really think undecided women voters will like the image of Edwards being a macho guy with Hillary?

Edwards in the debate appeared to think Hillary is so bad that the republican candidates would be superior, he was putting together a case that Hillary is the worst person possible to be president.

I would like the moderators in the next debate to ask Edwards if he thinks Hillary would be a better president than the republican candidates, I'm not sure what his answer would be!

2. Why would we want to know if John Edwards thinks Senator Clinton would be a
better president than any of the Republicans? It's John Edwards' job now to tell us why he would be the best person to select as the next President. Right now, that means comparing himself to Senator Clinton.

3. I'm curious
because if Hillary is so bad according to Edwards, does he think any of the republicans would be better? I think its a legit question to ask him.

Especially since Edwards won the debate the other night.

I'm just glad Obama hasn't embraced any new homophobes sense the last one he enjoyed so much.

7. Edwards never had a chance. Totally unelectable fauxgressive.
No aware Democrat would ever consider supporting such a person.

8. I am aware and I'm supporting him. So your statement is incorrect.
