  • We love you John. You are an American hero. You are the only one with the courage to take on the powerful corporate lobby.

  • Edwards for Meaningful Change '08

    Why 'Meaningful' because each and every time Congress has passed another Lobby Reform Bill the press says '...it lacks Meaningful Reform'. John Edwards will be the difference that has been missing in Washington DC.

  • John Edwards would be fighting a lot harder for progressive goals than Obama.

  • Edwards isn't taking a dime from corporate lobbyists or PACs. He's the only one talking about FOREIGN lobbyists influencing our government into bad trade deals, which are sending more and more of our jobs to other countries.

  • Edwards is the best choice for America.

    If you like the status quo...stay with any of the other candidates.

  • Edwards divides the anti-Clinton vote, and so undermines the prospects for the changes that he passionately demands in government. He helps Hillary if he stays in the race and boosts Obama if pulls out.

    Edwards deserves a special place in our politics for his efforts to bring poverty to national attention and to take account of the needs of the poor. But now it's time to read the writing on the wall and obey the verdict of history. It's time for Edwards to pull out.

    Anyone but Hillary 08!

  • Yeah, Hillary helped people when she was a lawyer: Bill, Chelsea, Herself.

  • rwc:"you'll be VOTING for my lawyer in Nov"...

    No, I won't.

  • Good point. Well said, but, but you'll be VOTING for my lawyer in Nov:)

  • rwc:"Edwards is an AMBULANCE chaser Lawyer. Hillary used her career as a lawyer to help people..."

    My Lawyer is better than your Lawyer...sheesh.

    They are all ambulance chasers.

  • Come On! Edwards is an AMBULANCE chaser Lawyer. Hillary used her career as a lawyer to help people and to represent business interests.

    Anyway, the voters have spoken; Edwards is FINISHED.
