HuffPo/Steve Kirsch: The Leadership Test

[Catchawave]

In early May 2007, I was an undecided voter. The one thing I was sure about is that, because global warming requires us to act immediately and the war in Iraq continues to disintegrate, this election is critical to the future of our country, more so than any other election in our history. So I spent almost a month doing research on the top three Democratic candidates because none of the Republican candidates had a viable position on global warming and all of them support President Bush on Iraq. What I found surprised me.

Ultimately, this race comes down to one word: leadership. We need leadership to get out of Iraq. We need leadership to solve global warming. We need leadership to solve our domestic issues such as health care.

The evidence I found was both clear and consistent. Throughout this campaign, John Edwards has consistently demonstrated the strong leadership skills our country needs. The other two top contenders have not.
