John Edwards appears to be an abnormally egotistical person -

He can go back and help poor people. Yea right. when I first met him, I thought this was just the kind of man this country need. Now I wonder what happen to him? I did see however, he got rid of his slummy neighbors? I wish someone would get rid of me for that kind of money.

Edwards hasn't a chance to win.
I feel so sorry for his wife and children. His children are deprived of their mother's love and companionship in what may be her dying days as he drags her around the country chasing his ego-driven pipedream. Edwards is only concerned with himself, not others.

John & Dog, sorry you both feel that way about Edwards, I find him a person of passion to help the group of people I saw suffer in the depression, like myself, an orphan at 5 eating out of garbage cans, seperated from my sister in the adaption process and never to see or find again. Edwards mentions the 200,000 Veterens that have to sleep under bridges every night, he cares, that's passion from the gut.
Both of you must be rich, just think about the 35 million people that go hungrey every day, sure, there is Welfare, but they don't want that they want like yourselves to be a protuctive member of society, and Edwards will stand for them, for you and the country. Tony Sacco

jaycee-Don't feel sorry for his wife. feel sorry for the people that lost job because of corp, greed, and people that die from insurence co. that don't pay for an operation and 200,00 war time vets sleeping under a bridge every night Edwards is the fighter this country wants and will get and you rich, wall street, big shots that have a computer to talk to one another, while the poor children of this country have only marbels to play with, shame on you. If I was your Dad I 'd take you into the wood shed and knock some sense into you and I'm 80. Tony Sacco

The only problem with your logic, Tony, is that Edwards has done NOTHING to solve the problems you mention. All he's done is TALK to self-promote the egotistical little world in which he lives. Heck, I can talk about problems, too...would you elect me?
Edwards's buddy Erskine Bowles set him up with a title-only job at UNC working against "poverty" and then we found out that Edwards stole our tax money from that program to pay for his campaign travels. You talk about greed?? Edwards stole your money to advance his ego-driven boondoggle of a sham campaign while harming the very people he tells you he wants to help. Greed?? Edwards is all about greed. His, not yours.

The race is just getting started...the ballgame is different than ever before, so let it go on.
John Edwards' plan for winning America back for the People brings true hope for a break away from the stranglehold corporatocracy has on this nation. If that is not job number one then nothing else will develop on solid ground.
People are drunk on the Obama elixir because this is a phenomenal moment.
But Obama cannot provide the past that says he can take on corporate greed and put it in it's place.
So, yes, absolutely John Edwards stays in the race.

I am supporting Edwars, as I see the most integrity and civility in this candidate.

To trash our dear Obama, I think he is another fuzzy sort of George Bush or reaching back maybe a changing and triangulating Bill Clinton.

If we are having now an impeachable president, I will wait until the changing fuzzy Obama will create potentially bigger scandals than George Bush.

After the NH caucus I have a new respect for Edwards. He seems sincere. I have no faith in politicians but he seems to be the most determined to help the people....Hillary is on a campaign for Hillary and Obama is too inexperienced. He is also a black muslim which scares the s--t out of my whole family!
I agree with many other voters. We are sick of voting as we did with Bush and Kerry----- the " lesser of the two evils!" I will probably vote for Huckabee as I am republican, but will definitely be watching Edwards....I might be encouraged to switch. I will have to see if Edwards changes my mind! I saw his father in the audience at NH and he looked like one of us...the average Joe!

John Edwards should stay in the race through to the end because he is the person best equipped with leadership qualities. Although the broadcast media have continually ignored him--they only provide publicity to candidates with money and compound a broken system--he managed to place second in Iowa ahead of a candidate who spent three times more money and had been called the "inevitable" candidate. Edwards had led on health care, the environment, and many other issues. After the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, Edwards was said to provide the best response to the crisis of any of the presidential candidates, according to the Washington Post. Obama has relatively little experience, and Clinton is too polarizing to many Republicans. Plus, Edwards works harder than anyone else.

He absolutely should stay in the race.

John Edwards represents those of us who care about progressive plans. His voice needs to be heard over and over again.

It will be the consciousness of the people that will decide if he wins but the consciousness has already supported his agenda becoming mainstream. Right now he has gotten further than any other progressive candidate.

Edwards should definitely stay in the race--he finished second in IA and beat the Clinton machine, even though he was outspent 5 to 1. His national numbers are surging right now.

Edwards is the only candidate who has truly made going after corporate corruption his life's work...He fought armies of corporate lawyers his whole life on behalf of working class and struggling families. He's also the ONLY candidate who has never taken a dime of WA lobbyist money, so he owes no one.

His programs for restoring the middle class and helping poor people are cutting-edge, and he was the first candidate to advance these policies in this election cycle. The others have copied him.

Edwards is also the most electable of the Dems--in poll after poll (including CNN), he is the only Dem who can soundly beat all the Republican contenders.

This election is a no-brainer for the country--elect John Edwards. He will stand up to the corporate monopoly of our country, just like Teddy Roosevelt did. He wil be our friend in the White House.

John Edwards was elected to the Senate and did little there. He is a loner. He does not like working with people and getting one-half of a loaf. There is no indication that he has the qualities needed to be a great leader. After his son died, he and his wife did nothing for six months. That is great, but people don't have the luxery of wealth to shield them. His wife goes along with this campaign to feed his ego. His chances for VP are nil. He had the chance and did not carry his home state. He did not understand how to work with John Kerry for a unified message. It is time to let the dream go.

Putting aside character catcalls and the rest of personalized attacks or irrational exuberance: Edwards will likely pull decent numbers in South Carolina, but may end up splitting with Clinton many voters. Obama could edge them both out, if the polling places are run fairly. Otherwise, Edwards takes it over Clinton. He loses Michigan, again if the polling places are run fairly, to Obama. In Florida he hasn't got a shot (might not matter, though, because, like Michigan, it is being punished by the Dem Party and stripped of most or all of its delegates).

If he survives into February and has any money left (I forget when he gets the $10 million from federal funds), he could do quite well in several Southern states and a few border ones. But not New York, California and Pennsylvania, never mind New Jersey, Massachusetts and other large delegate-rich states. His hopes have to swing West to Texas and the Rockies and desert states, and that Richardson throws his support to him.
If Edwards makes anti-war his bigger message than even the anti-corporate, and Richardson gets back room promises for Secretary of State, it might happen.

John Edwards is far and away the finest and best candidate for the office of the presidency.

I have read his book, Four Trials. He has taken on the insurance companies in court and won. He has been steadfast in representing regular people instead of big corporations. He earned his money cleanly and by hard work.

Hillary doesn't tell the truth. She couldn't even keep her husband happy, how can she keep the country happy?

Obama is a good man, but untested, and one wonders why he favors nuclear power, which makes waste that can be used by terrorists to make bombs, and which presents a 250,000 year storage problem.

Go, Edwards. Get America back on track, take it from the hands of the corporations and put it back into the hands of its people.
