Reply #6: I believe the shift of momentum is going away from Clinton and....

...many dem's I know have given up on Obama. I'm impressed with Obama, but I fear the experience argument might have traction, some of his policies positions concern me, and he will have a problem with some of closet conservative element in the electorate. Edwards has fewer negatives than Clinton and Obama,and I believe is more personally appealing. I was stunned by the Clinton's response to criticism by her colleagues, obviously because she's the front runner, but hinting she felt ganged up on because she was a woman. I hate the conspiratorial defensiveness- it brought back all the memories of the Clinton years, not the good ones. Wait till the Republicans get their propaganda machine rolling!! I believe Edwards will handle the expected attacks better and he will bring in independents and disaffected republican's in greater numbers. In the GE he will play better in the south, and with a vp like Gen Clark could bring needed foreign policy experience. He knows how to touch peoples emotions, not just policy wonking that doesn't move people. He's more progressive than clinton, but not too far left for the GE as Kucinich, fiscally smart, ecologically green, pro-union, and will stand for principle against the RW corporate fascist noise machine. He WILL FIGHT for the rights of the average Americans,and I don't believe he would back down like the democratic congress has done. He's very persuasive, and i believe can win and govern effectively. He be able to use the bully pulpit of his populist message to restore the promise of American for the majority of americans, not just the wealthy or corporate connected. We can't afford to lose this election for so many reasons, and I believe he's our best chance for 2008!
