Edwards Is Very Authentic - He's For Real!! Go John!!
Advertisements [?]
Edwards is making poverty - the two Americas - his major theme on his America One web site. Political insiders have been saying that this is a big mistake because poor people don't vote compared to the middle classes. But the focus on the poor is evidently what he personally wants to do. Edwards himself worked along side his dad in a textile mill and then put himself thorough college. He comes from a relatively poor family. I just hope he ties in his concern for the working classes with the disappearance of the middle classes.

What I particularly like is that he is rated 0% by the Christian Coalition on his "pro-family" voting record - a gang of pathetic kooks if there ever was one.

I also like his apology for initially supporting the Iraq misadventure and his calling for all troops to be re-deployed from Iraq within a year.
