Edwards to visit North Dakota, has good shot to win with a majority of state legislators backing him
4 states down, 2 states disenfranchised, and 44 states to go folks...Don't let the corporations via their media whores tell you it's over!

-snip-

Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards is coming to Fargo Wednesday, campaign officials announced Saturday.

-snip-

Edwards has been endorsed by unions, representing carpenters and steelworkers, that have about 2,500 North Dakota members, Purdon said.

Agriculture Commissioner Roger Johnson also is supporting Edwards.

A majority of state legislators, including the party’s floor leaders – Lansford Sen. David O’Connell and Rolette Rep. Merle Boucher – are backing Edwards, Purdon said.

I screwed up the link. I would have to register to get it again but you can see the article yourself at the newspaper's website. It is the top story and is listed as breaking news. A presidential candidate coming to North Dakota is big news for them. I hope they reward John for his respect for their state by giving him a "W" on Super Tuesday!

Fargo is by far the largest city in North Dakota in case you are wondering why he chose it.

1. courage
It shows the character and leadership Of John Edwards to go his own way despite the incessant chant of the media to stop. Corporations do not want this war to end. They are desperately trying to get rid of any candidate that will stop the war. If Edwards is drops out there will be no one running that will end this war. I am sure that the Republicans have dirt on Obama and Clinton that will be deal breakers with the public and they will not win in November. We will have McCain, who is the biggest warmonger of them all for President. Then everyone will hold their heads and wonder why the hell they didn't vote for Edwards who trounces McCain in every poll. I have die-hard Republican friends who have said they could happily vote for Edwards, but they will not vote for Obama or Clinton. If you want to really end the war, it's Edwards and I'm sticking with him all the way.
