2. He's packing 'em in to the rafters.

Thanks for these keeper photos. I love the faces of the Iowans gathered to hear John Edwards. I don't know these folks obviously, but what I think I read in their faces is --

"Yeah, it's cold and wintry and it would have been easier to stay home and watch the tube, but eight years of the Bush administration has threatened things about our country that we hold very dear, and if we did not feel that John Edwards offers the promise of restoration of those dear things, we by god wouldn't be here."

And JohnLocke, did I mention that those photographs are tremendous?

Recommended.

8. You mean, Edwards' daughter, Emma Claire? She does love her Daddy - as do quite a few Iowans!

GREAT pics. He's packing them in - and I love the HOPE in their eyes.

10. Oh there was substance.

These are just fun photos. John received several standing ovations during his speech which was full of substance. There were moments when you could have heard a pin drop because people were in awe of what he was saying.

Do you want substance? http://www.johnedwards.com/iowa/issues/

John was the first to come out with substantive plans on most issues important to Americans.

12. ok compare

Edited on Mon Dec-31-07 09:45 AM by Froward69

them both. for one Health care Joe Biden is far closer to universal health care than Edwards. where as Edwards does not say he is for Mandatory Health insurance. but his website does.
actually look at Biden. http://www.joebiden.com/issues/

actually the credit you give Edwards for the ideas well is wrong. I agree with edwards. because he agrees with Joe Biden from months ago.

18. Whoa wait one minute.

I like Biden. I won't be caucusing for him but he is great.

I'm not going to go negative against Biden just to try to make Edwards look better.

That is not my style.
