Watching the livestream at dailykos.com.

He gave me chills.

2. Edwards has the rhetoric
Unfortunately, he also has the most hostile press, as usual.

The plutocrats just don't want to share, do they?

3. Just went dead on me, but Edwards is kicking ass
DK has now moved up on my charts, too. Down go Obama & Richardson. Hillary never been on my chart.
I am jumping to the Edwards camp(?)

5. I heard him speak last fall and he was inspiring, and real. No syrup.
At a church in NYC on Martin Luther King day. This man is as close to JFK as we could ever hope to deserve.

7. I hope the powers of DU don't object
to my referencing dailykos.com.

Our strength does come and will continue to come from the interconnectivity of the internet. We need to encourage cross-referencing of the credible internet sites that actually care about the future of this country.

Use the power that we have!!!

8. So.....
You support then, his support of Obama's idea to put US troops in Pakistan, whether that nation wants us in or not.

23. hi IChing
Gina Cooper, YKOs Director introduces Matt Bai of the NYTimes who apparently is moderating the forum. Extremely strange to me that a blogger conference has a NYTimes reporter moderating the event. But whatever.

Joan McCarter, Daily Kos Contributing Editor, and good friend of Talk Left will be the lead questioner apparently. Dr. Jeff Feldman, a friend of mine, will be fielding questions from the audience.

12. Edwards would be the Dem most likely to win the general, I hope the party wakes up & doesn't sell-
out to the highest bidder. Edwards and Wes Clark would be an almost guaranteed winner (barring unforseen events) in '08.

24. I was musing about Clark as a VP candidate on another thread and got someone upset.
I didn't mean to offend and actually I was an early supporter of Clark in 04. I was terribly disappointed when things didn't work out.

You may be right about an Edwards/Clark ticket. The pubs would be hard put to attack them, except their wheezing argument about "socialized medicine."

Too many people have suffered, for too long, under this bunch of predators called Republicans.

13. He just got my vote, too
upon announcing that the official White House blogger, if he is elected, will be Elizabeth Edwards.

I've been waiting for Al Gore, but hell, if he's not in, I'm going to work for Edwards.

14. Me too.
I never usually get bonded to a candidate until after the primaries, but I'm making an exception.

He's not perfect, but he's the best candidate out there.

18. I've been an Edwards fan since I saw him give a speech on C-SPAN in
the 2004 primaries. It was at a bank on a Sunday in Robbins, Iowa (?) I believe. It was Dean-like.

26. Edwards continues to show that he is the smartest of the crop.
I have been holding out for Gore, but if he doesn't enter the race, I'll support Edwards.

I couldn't care less how much his hair cuts cost. He is a wealthy, self-made man, unlike Mr. Bush.
