Reply #74: And why do you believe you are rational?

I have read many articles on Edwards. He doesn't go into anything without a plan. Do I know what his plan is, no. But, neither do you. Kucinich was certainly more than a long shot, but I never saw you once ask, where was he going to get the money. You can say the same about Biden or Dodd, too. But, you have been quiet about all three, why? Did you think that they were going to magically get money? That every dem in the nation would rise up and donate to them? No, it has just been Edwards that you have been harping on about this subject.

Obama and Clinton have taken corporate money, Edwards has not. Did he shoot himself in the foot? I don't think so. Like I said, he doesn't like to lose. He would not have gone into this race without a plan. Why do you not get this? He and his wife could be sunning themselves in Tahiti right now, if he wasn't serious. I don't think he is in this race except for one reason, to change the way Washington is run. I think he is too caring of a person to just be running as a lark. He has life long friends and neighbors that speak highly of him, that he has been on the road to help people his whole life, and that he doesn't know how to give less than 100%.

Someone (and I don't remember who) said why doesn't he use his own money. When you have been poor and you're smart when you get money, you are very careful on how you spend it. He will not risk and should not have to risk his own money to run for an office where he is serving the people. Only those whose egos are tied up into having to be President (or mayor or governor, etc) imho, would buy the office.
