jamess did a great job rounding up all the diaries from today too.

Thanks hope :hi:

[waiting for hope]

3. Thanks Catch!

DKos has been hopping all day - I'm not to happy with my boss - I actually had to go to work today! I wanted to call in a political hangover but I knew he wouldn't buy it. I've only be able to do some drive by recs and tips.

Elizabeth was her stellar self on Hardball and John was awesome today on all the shows. I've also been reading the comments on some of the news rags and it's similar to here and Kos, John's not giving up and neither are we!

Go, Team Edwards, GO!

[ultraist]

2. Go John Go!

This fight has just begun.

:kick:

[Sarah Ibarruri]

4. I LOVE EDWARDS! nt

[frogmarch]

5. I was thrilled to see John on Count Down!

He did great, of course, but what made me happiest was that FINALLY John got some media coverage!

Elizabeth was terrific on Hardball too. I loved the way she told Tweety off. Then Tweety tried to soothe her by complimenting her smile. What a complete asshole he is.

[waiting for hope]

8. Yeah - like she's was going to

go all a'twitter "Oh Chris! Thank you ever so much" NOT! I love that woman.

[bettync]

6. Good answers,

and good questions. I loved it when Olberman commented about some others in the news media not reporting Edward's win over the former front-runner as a success!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

7. Thank you! I tried to catch it on the teevee...

but the boys were hogging it.

[Naturyl]

9. Edwards is great.

My #2 choice, right behind Kucinich.

[Triana]

10. EXCELLENT! Good to see John on Countdown and Elizabeth with Tweetie..

...and BOTH of them delivering their message loud and clear - AND both of the speaking to being ignored by media even though he came in second and BEAT HILLARY. I'm sorry but I think considering the lack of money and media - those things being stacked against Edwards from the outset - that is NOT a loss. It's INCREDIBLE that he came in second!

And I think it's likely it may be a two-person race (Obama/Edwards). And, I like them both. But I prefer Edwards, still.

[waiting for hope]

11. The People's President -

I ever so like that!

[Triana]

12. Edwards was my senator. I have three words about him:

HE


HELPS


PEOPLE


It's what he's about.


He IS the PEOPLE'S President.

[waiting for hope]

13. Hey! Mine too!

Wilmington - I moved here in 2002 so I had him for a little bit, and what I saw, I was impressed.

[Triana]

18. Been here since 1995 - Love Edwards...and David Price (n/t)

[Snotcicles]

36. I wish he had been mine. nt

[texpatriot2004]

14. John Edwards speaks for me. "I'm the underdog Keith, I have

been for a long time."

Thank you Keith. Thank you John Edwards.

[Plucketeer]

15. The Edwards family TRUE Blue Americans!!!

This is MY President!

[waiting for hope]

16. And they are DEMOCRATS!

I want my party back.

[2hip]

17. Pay attention to how he's framing the players

Clinton is the "Status Quo" or, in other words, old news.

Obama is the only other "Change" candidate but his approach is "intellectual" and "philosophical"...somebody who"just talks about it, for whom it's more of a political issue...the politicians are going to do the political thing." Translation: more of the same old-same old.

I expect him to marginalize them both in the upcoming debates... and I wouldn't be surprised if one or the other doesn't get visibly pissy to their own detriment. As a trial lawyer, he knows exactly how to pressure those in the hot seat so they incriminate themselves in the eyes of public opinion. Break out the popcorn for the next exciting installment!




  Edwards '08 tees!

[stickernation]

19. "the philosophical and academic approach of Obama" HAHAHA !!!

dude i am busting out LAFFIN !!! ROFLMAO !!! Philosophical And Academic Approach Of Obama !!! HAHAHAHA !!!

That is like when the Colts didn't make it to the Superbowl a few years back and the scuttlebutt was

"well, they're a FINESSE team" :)


Deadly serious about change, that is what the Democratic Underground is all about.

Let's abandon any illusions about Senators Clinton and Obama.

They are blocking for the other team as long as they stand in the path of this man's rightful place in the White House.

I have never been more confident in our chances !!!

[stickernation]

20. a quick amendment

i will fervently support either obama or clinton if they get the nod over whoever the GOP vomits up. wanted to make that clear. :)

[stickernation]

21. oh shit

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

i have to watch that again !!! that is just about the subtlest and most spot on jab imaginable !!!

[ikojo]

22. Edwards is definitely my second choice as

far as candidates go....I still support Dennis Kucinich and will vote for him in the MO primary. It's my one opportunity to go into the polling place and proudly cast my vote. In November 2008, I may not have such an opportunity.

[zazzle]

26. Kucinich bowed to corporate power

when he endorsed Obama - the ONLY candidate to state Bush and Cheney's actions do NOT warrant impeachment!

[bobbolink]

29. I agree completely... I was VERY disappointed in Dennis! He's obviously playing more politics now

than issues!

The ONLY thing Dennis had going for him was integrity and standards.

By endorsing Obama, and asking his supporters to vote Obama, he caved to the corporate power, which he *says* he's against.

I wasn't expecting that from him, and it definitely destroyed his integrity, as far as I'm concerned.

:(

23. Hey Edwards fans.....

Hey Edwards fans.....

War is NOT Progressive!!

24. Love the way Edwards is framing Obama "philosophical and academic"

approach to change.

I'm actually looking forward to this next debate; I haven't watched one in a while. Obama is clearly not as good on his feet as Edwards(and I have to give Hillary credit for being better than Obama, too) I think we're going to see some fireworks.

[zazzle]

25. Obama preaches to us - Edwards empowers us!

With Obama, I keep looking for the beef!
Apparently, in our Britney/Paris MSM - "hope" is now acceptable as a political platform.
The media has given Obama a zillion passes. He's their guy!

[humbled_opinion]

34. You know i find that comment strangely true..

Obama is great speaker/communicator but I can't imagine him being able to accomplish what he says where as Edwards he speaks and its like if only he was in charge that would be truth...

:toast:

[bobbolink]

30. Well, truthfully, he's more insideous than just "academic", etc. He's CORPORATE. Everything Edward

is opposed to.

[jimlup]

27. Thanks for posting it

Edwards is great. I have to confess, I'm not unhappy with either Edwards or Obama. I'd rather have Edwards but I can certainly live with Obama.

Go John Go!

[underpants]

28. That was outstanding

very well done John

[Maestro]

31. Great interview!

Loved it. Edwards has come a long way. I am impressed.

[Divine Discontent]

32. is there ANYONE who can get a second in with John Edwards

I had his 'ear' for 30 seconds a few months ago, and I know you kinda have to be in NH to get to him, or you have to be able to get a hold of someone who will speak to him, but I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY believe that if he points out to the voters of New Hampshire that Obama's 'change' mantra is merely philosophical (like I expect him to say in the debate) but ALSO to say that Obama has publicly said that Cheney's actions against this country do not warrant IMPEACHMENT proceedings to investigate it, that it makes it clear he hasn't been paying attention or he will be too soft because it is clear Cheney needs impeached from his VP role.

just sayin...

[humbled_opinion]

35. To be honest with you

I don't think any of them are going to actively talk Impeachment now... for one thing it is too late to actually happen... and although it may be waranted many Americans will see it as divisive... Anyway I believe they could probably get away with calls for more oversight and investigation into the miscalculations that the Admin has made..

[IamyourTVandIownyou]

33. I thought the media was shafting him.

Ive seen Edwards on more TV shows than Obama.

Why the whining?

[pleah]

37. I watched it. Edwards was very good.
