| 24. Edwards is a great candidate, but this cuts both ways |
|
Edwards would make a great president. But it's clear that the media oligarchy have united against him to ignore his message. Now the chamber of commerce promises to punish the party and the people if he is elected.
Maybe the best outcome would be to have litigator Edwards as a trust busting Attorney General.
