Edwards Camp: Hill Can Run, Can't Hide

Tommy,
You are closer to this than I am…. So, who do you think Edwards takes the most votes from Hill or Obama?

I don’t blame him for going at least thru 2-5. Clinton and Obama spent major money in SC & Hill only got 4 more delegates than Edwards. I still "flavor" Hill, but I just don’t understand the pundits suggesting he is out when we are talking about a diff of 4 delegates?

Oh yeah..I do think he can crack Hill and Obama. Esp. if Hill and Obama keep it up with the low blows.

Tommy,
Well Edwards himself is the same way. I think that is his biggest aesthetic draw. I have watched them all speak and Obama often reads from a teleprompter. Hill always is right on message and sounds scripted all the way to the pauses and laughs. McCain read his V speech in NH. I REALLY hate that. But, Edwards always seems to just talk …in other words he connects better. I am sure he has a set list of what to say, but you can tell he has not memorized word for word what he is saying.

OBAMA WILL NOT WIN ANYMORE STATES.HE MIGHT AS WELL HANG IT UP NOW,AND GO BACK TO CHICAGO.

I like edwards, but he is #3, and taking votes. he should drop out now before super tuesday.

the media screws everything up. what a big freakin deal they make out of nothing.

i like edwards, but he is #3 and has virtually no chance. he didn't even win his own state. he should drop out now and stop taking votes away from the real candidates.

If Bill keeps out of Hillary's way, or at least tones down his talks, I feel that Hillary will do great on the upcoming big day Feb 5th. Obama got his day in SC but doubt he will repeat this again anywhere else.

Obama can win all he wants but he cannot win in November and that goes for Clinton too . A black or a woman will not beat a white male Republican . That is
not my personal opinion but it is reality . Edwards is our only hope of keeping the repubs out of the white house . Come on people , be realistic . White
males will not vote for someone whose middle name is
Hussein and certainly won't vote for Clinton and if
either one is nominated the white males will come out of the woodwork in November to make sure either one of these people are not elected .

Obama used the black vote conveniently and now he is trying to come out of SC without the "black" crown. As one of his supportters told me "that's why he is at Havest in Macon a predominantly white church". We cannot be one people when Obama behaves this way. I guess he is no longer scared of Bill's history with black voters and his impact in SC. So I do not expect any more talk from him about Bill's involvement in the race. What I do say instead is that the reverse is true, black voters have squandered their opportunity to show their maturity by voting ability above race. So much for change... It's amazing to me that everyone in SC got amnesia about how much Bill did for them and just voted because Obama is a black man and even enquired further.

Well John Edwards I looked at your campaign ad...what hypocrisy. You are an attorney and know that it all comes down to credibility. So if Obama supported slum landlords then that affects his credibility on other issues.

Blackfeet29 has it right.Hillary and Obama have no chance against a white republican male.John Edwards is the only candidate with a shot to keep the republicans out of office.In my opinion,we may not have had to suffer through 4 years of W.if Edwards had got the nod over Kerry last election

There is no question that Edwards is the only Democrat that can win in November. If the Dems. (and I am a Democrat) nominate Clinton or Obama, then we will most certainly have a new Republican president in 2009.

it is not about BLAK,WOMAN,or even MAN, it is about who is the right person for the job, YES Edwars is the under dog, Yes he is in 3rd, but he is the RIGHT one that can and will fight for change in AMERICA for all AMERICAN. He has all his life fought for the working people , he came from the working class, he was not handed anything in life, he knows what it is like to to have the BIG business take and not give back to their workers, He knows how hard it is to get thru college and have that grant to repay, and hold down a part time job while going to school, He is the only one that speaks from his heart , not just saying WHAT you want to hear, He is SINCERE, CARING, HONEST,
I do know that We have had enough of the Clintons in the white House! And Bill out there running for Hillary IS WRONG it is like HE is runnig for Office?!
Obama is Good, but needs more experience, and I don't feel good that he vote Present 100 times? I will Vote Edwards and will write him in if he does not make it, I won't vote for either one of the others

THE MEDIA IS AFRAID TO ASK OBAMA THE TOUGH QUESTIONS.THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM ASKING THE WOMAN HILLARY CLINTON THE TOUGH QUESTIONS.THE MEDIA ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE MADE THIS ELECTION ABOUT RACE.THEY CONTINUE TO DO IT DAY AFTER DAY,BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO GUTS TO TAKE OBAMA ON.

still to early in both races .hillary is stacking up well for super tuesday and will become the dem leader soon as the O man runs out of steam.and right now as country swings from day to day from war as top issure to immagration to finance. it proves that americans are like politicans never straight on anything. but suddenly money appears from washington and now its gee the finance thing as the issue.only reason we getting money is its election year and neither side could say no. in the end come november lets face it the O man cant win as u think theres no rade issue you will find out like in SC the race issue is very much alive and soon the white vote will prevail again him.the country is primed for a dem president as republicans are as messed up as RUDY . MC CAIN is tfactor as he gains deligates and will lose in november as he simply to old and dont respond to questions with swiftness.if finance is really the problem here then none of them are experts and if its still divided after super tuesday could MAYOR BLOOMBERG BE FAR BEHIND WITH HIS FINANCIAL BACKGROUND so super tuesday will tell alot of stories watch for hillary to pull away as sad to say the O MAN gets a taste of trying to win a white neighborhood as clinton found out how to run in his backyard. So race is an issue and it just makes sense that a clinton /obamma ticket is impossible to defeat in november one step at a time the O MAN gets his chance in 8 years hell be mid 50s and ready.........

The choice in this election is simple. If we want a president who will lead America to the big, bold changes we need and change the conversation in America, Democrats should choose the candidate who has led the field in ideas and shaped the conversation in this race so far.

On the Democratic side, John Edwards, although never the front-runner, has been driving his party's policy agenda. He's done it again on economic stimulus: last month, before the economic consensus turned as negative as it now has, he proposed a stimulus package including aid to unemployed workers, aid to cash-strapped state and local governments, public investment in alternative energy, and other measures

The fact remains that the Edwards campaign has set the domestic policy agenda for the entire field. He was the first with a bold universal health care plan, the first with an ambitious climate change proposal that called for cap-and-trade, and the leader on reforming predatory lending practices and raising the minimum wage to a level where it regains its lost purchasing power

John Edwards has led the other candidates in standing up for progressive change. In this campaign, the other candidates have followed John's lead in talking about the special interests -- but the special interests understand the difference between rhetoric and reality. That's why corporate lobbyists are united against John Edwards.

Here's the bottom line in this election. We need a president who has the vision to put forth bold, progressive solutions to the challenges facing America in the 21st century. John Edwards has shown he has that vision -- and he has led on it throughout this campaign.

John Edwards has stated that, as president, he will require the use of safe, renewable energy sources like wind, solar power and biomass to generate 25% of the nation's electricity by 2025. In the first 100 days of his presidency, John will send legislation to Congress to halt global warming and achieve energy independence.

John has promised to invest $1 billion a year to develop the ability to permanently store carbon emissions and ban the construction of new coal plants that cannot capture their own carbon.

And, as president, John Edwards would invest an additional $1 billion to help U.S. automakers advance the latest technology -- including biofuels, hybrid and electric cars, ultra-light materials and drivetrain improvements -- to ensure the world's most fuel-efficient cars are made in America by union workers.

And because John Edwards has not accepted a dime from Washington lobbyists or special interest PACs, he has a bold, transformational plan to take on the big oil companies, polluters and power companies to address the great environmental challenges of our lifetime.

John Edwards is the only one that will fight poverty and bring health care and education to the poor & middle class of America. John Edwards would be the best President for all of America, anything less will be as bad as keeping Bush in office forever.

America deserves honest men of integrity that will fight for all Americans, and Edwards is a true patriot that can make America great. He has the substinance, determination, and will to fight greed, corruption and end the outsourcing of our jobs.

His economic, education, health and welfare policies are now being copied by all the canidates. Edwards spoke out months and even years before the others.

America needs to think about why the "Washington Greed, Corruption, Large Corporations and Media" are trying to make this a two candidate Democratic race?

Edwards is the only Democrat able to win the Presidency, as polls have showed that any Republican nominated will beat Clinton and/or Obama.

An Edwards presidency will create American jobs for Americans by ending the outsourcing of our jobs lost through NAFTA and CAFTA. It will end the greed and corruption of large corporations and Washington politicians.

End the $700 million per day wasted in Iraq and invest in America, America can prosper in a global economy without outsourcing our jobs

Vote for jobs for the workers of America, healthcare and education for the middle class by endorsing a true patriot of integrity and honesty for America, John Edwards

the O MAN ran through s/c with ease like a marathon hte first 20 miles are he easy ones now he must prove his whit in super tuesday. keeping in mind that the race card was played heavy in s/c as hillary found out nows its on to super tuesday and the O MAN will find out whats its like to run when the race card is reversed. the outcome will be simple clinton will pull away and end of story he cant compete with her the rest of the way .the other side is much closer in there races coming up .the mitt man will show his cloros and steady make his way to challenge mc cain but in hte end america is voting for a dem in nov they had it with the other party .only interesting issue i see he is the war was top issue then immagration and now its wall st. if the race tightens up look for mayor bloomberg to jump in as finance issue takes over the race and whos better with his finance mind ...but in the end its hillary with THE O MAN accepting the second spot and the the republicans are booted out THE O MAN gets his turn but he has to wait this is not the time RUDY who was the favorite can now look to relax after super tuesday and go back to ny and scratch hios head how he blow it. mc cain hes to old and no ones buying the ronald regean act besides hes already 72 and at his age he should look towards retirement rather then president.problem with americans there like politicans htey change there mond so much. the war was the top issue then immagration now its wall street. this could change many more times my only thought is how rich is this country taking on billions and billions for war and giving us money back seems to me they all took us for a ride years ago and once in a while we bet a bone.

Edwards supporters. Please put you posts for John on the comment areas that many Obama and Clinton people will be reading. Remember, the folks that are reading this site for the most part are already Edwards supporters. Let's not preach to the converted. Please. He needs our help bigtime. Did you see the report yesterday that shows Edwards is only getting one fifth the coverage from the media that Obama and Clinton are receiving in the past few weeks. Just confirms what we already know.
