Obama v Edwards
Obama is a lover, Edwards a fighter. It is much easier to love a lover, but if you want to get things accomplished against great odds, you need a fighter. Wake up sheeple, we are in a epic battle to restore this democracy back to the hands of the people. It ain't gonna be easy and it ain't gonna be pretty. And we are gonna need someone at the top that is representing us and only us. This is not a beauty contest despite what the MSM is making it out to be. Substance counts. By the way, the Kerry endorsement today, did nothing but convince me that the good old boys (Skull and Bones) want Obama. If elected be assured he will be bought and paid for.

1. Yes because...
You can't be a friendly and well spoken yet still a fighter.

4. I'll take the one with a progressive record of substance
over the one who only figured out he's a progressive after running for President the second time.

I'd love to stop reading after, 'nuff said, but then it's too late.

9. Couldn't you have resisted calling people here "sheeple"?
The Skull and Bones stuff didn't help, either.

12. lol. Could this post be any more trite and cliche ridden- not to mention
inaccurate?

First of all, the whole fighter/lover paradigm is silly. Obama's a fighter. He's a smart fighter who doesn't need to broadcast his pugnaciousness. He fought for the inhabitants of the inner city when he worked there as a community organizer. He fought as a civil rights attorney. He fought for such things as making sure that cops video taped all interrogations, when he was in the Illinois leg. He's fought smart against the slings and arrows of opposing campaigns and is competitive with Clinton in this race.

Substance does count and so does judgment and a good voting record. My candidate has those qualities. He opposed the war instead of co-sponsoring a resolution to go to war. He's a constitutional scholar and activist with over 10 years in elected office. He's been consistent about issues, instead of changing from moderate/conservative positions to progressive ones. His percentage of contributions from business is almost exactly the same as Edwards. He has taken no lobbyist money in this campaign.

You've written a mindless screed that's simplistic to the point of a seventh grader, filled with inanities such as calling people who don't support your candidate "sheeple" and nonsense about Skull and Bones. JK is far more liberal than Edwards ever was or is.

Or to put it more simply: Your post sucks the big one.

13. Edwards is the fighter? from what i saw in Saturday's
debate, Fightin' John Edwards had a brown ring around his nose from kissing Obama's ass. He attacked Hillary and pandered to Obama; I have no idea what he was trying to accomplish. Does he think Obama will throw him a bone if he continues his hit jobs on Clinton?

14. You'd better watch your mouth. Your candidate needs the
support of Edwards fans. You are running them in the other direction with your nasty remarks.

15. What in Edwards' POLITICAL careeer suggests he is a "fighter"??
His IWR vote? His yes vote on the bankrupcy bill? Free Trade? Limiting Liability to nuclear power plants?
