He should have been more upbeat.

7. Yes, I've been saying John Edwards has so many similarities with Bobby Kennedy.
Certainly could be good for the nation!

12. Hmm. Having a hard time reconciling your post with this:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2585457

what up?

Maybe you are scared of him, but maybe you should show more class than this.

28. You think? I missed it, but many seem to have liked it. The OP is perhaps twistintg reality
to bolster their preferred candidate?

Maybe his speech scared them.

35. No, it is my OP my friend - Edwards rocked
the lack of applause was due to his rant (rant = awesome speech that called out the corporations).
It was great - one of the best.

I'm a Kucinich guy, but Edwards impressed me tonight.

Check it out on youtube tomorrow. It was cool and the gang:toast:

Peace and low stress..

14. That speech was
What Kerry should have let Edwards do 3 years ago. That guy / that kind of talk is the kind of talk to get people fired up.

19. got to be honest, but I thought Hillary was more effective with her time
especially when talking about the people who couldn't attend the caucuses because of working or whatever. I'm not sure angry works. It didn't for Dean and I don't think it will for Edwards.

32. notice how many times she was interrupted
by idle praise (cheers, chants, applause)?

I think she will be the next president. Pretty beat, imho.

I'm a Kucinich guy, so I don't dig HRC at all.

But Edwards impressed me tonight a great deal. I really like the cut of his jib. :toast:

ps- notice how pre-caucus HRC was all for the caucus system. After she loses she concerned about
workers / soldiers that can't participate (because the system sucks). She is slick:(

24. BRILLIANT strategy, to use snippets of the stump speech, so that
NH voters who may not have had the opportunity to see him before the primary hear a little of what he's all about! :thumbsup:

33. I didn't think of that while I was listening
...but I think you're right. If so, great move. He's overexposed in Iowa and I think it's hurt him a little - not that 30% is bad - but in NH he'll be a fresh voice. I have high hopes for JRE there and in SC.

Think I missed the whole boat on this thread.

44. For true, Dean's scream was blown out of proportion
My friend has a tape she made of that night (she was there as a Dean vol.). She said that she couldn't really hear Dean (over shouts and stuff), and that she never heard the "scream".

I guess the mics picked it up and the media ran with it.

I was a big Dean supporter, and referred to him as a positive.

Peace out.

46. Let me give you some advice:
If you want to compliment anyoen (ex. John Edwards) don't say they gave off a "Dean scream".

That's not a compliment.
