He was absolutely the best speaker of them all.He completely dominated the field and was the only candidate that involved the voter in the process of taking back this country.He was 100% on his game and it was obvious how he was able to communicate to juries and win against big business.I believe Edwards sealed the deal in Iowa and he could go on the win the nomination.He truly was the best advocate for the people on that stage.If you haven't seen it, I urge you to watch the video of that speech.Edwards rocked the house ! He represented everything a Democratic candidate should be!

1. What does "1005" mean.
If it's sports terminology, I have zero sports knowledge.

14. I've heard many comments about his jeans!
Not only does he look good in them (oh yes he does!) but men appreciate the fact that he always wears levi's.

8. You should hear him in person.
He is an incredible speaker. He knows how to handle the 'flow' of a speech so that it sounds less like a speech. You get the feeling he is talking to YOU and he knows how to make you feel like he is speaking from his heart.

I have heard stories about how he KILLED in closings. So much so that other attornies would come to whichever courtroom he was in just to listen to his closing arguments.

15. He was!
I attended and Edwards owned this steak fry. People were riveted during his speech. They couldn't take their eyes off of him and there were times when you could hear a pin drop during his speech. He was ON. I heard several comments that he had the best speech on my way through the parking lot after the event.

17. Call to Action Alert!!!
We need to help Senator Leahy with his restore habeas corpus act. Joe Biden has already said he wil vote yes. They need only a few more votes to avoid fillibuster. Please check your senator’s position and take appropriate action. Here’s the link: http://restore-habeas.org /
