4. I don't understand why John Edwards hasn't captivated more of the youth mania.

He reminds me of that je ne se quoi that Clinton had with the MTV crowd.

5. That must not include Iraqi cities

You posted something that got me excited about Edwards. It lasted exactly 2 days. Look at this and
explain it if you care to. What's the matter with him? He's got a shot to set himself apart, but
this is what he really believes. He's tentative and had no sense of the moment - that being a time
when Hillary and Barack are taking a position exactly opposite that of Democrats as expressed in
2006.

What a load, it makes people laugh when their hear politicians say the nonsense below. Now Edwards
is taking 10 steps back after the 2 forward. He's not serious or maybe he just thinks it's OK to
be in farking Iraq in 2013 - that's utter nonsense.

He can't take the prize because he's playing footsie with the war establishment.

For a Democrat, Options in Iraq Could Be Few
Hopefuls Seen as Unlikely To Effect Rapid Change

In their debate Wednesday night in Hanover, N.H., none of the three top Democratic presidential
candidates would promise to have the U.S. military out of Iraq by January 2013 -- more than five
years from now.

"I think it would be irresponsible" to state that, said Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.).

"I cannot make that commitment," added former senator John Edwards of North Carolina.

And Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) put it simply when she outlined the dilemma that Democratic
presidential aspirants face on Iraq. "It is very difficult to know what we're going to be inheriting,"
the party's front-runner said.

6. Easy, the problem was "all troops"

Bill Richardson committed to take all troops out of Iraq by 2013. This is a lie. He will leave some troops in the embassy. Every embassy in the world is guarded. John Edwards will also have at mosts one brigade of NON-COMBAT troops to guard the embassy and to protect humanitarian workers.

The 2013 thing is just a word trick.
