3. He "gets it" on the core issue of Wealth and Power
Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 09:31 AM by Armstead
The only one who acknowledges that since the 1970's, the power of corporations has grown to an alarming and destructive level, which hampers our ability to deal with other issues.

He is the only one to acknowledge that we must tackle this systemic problem if we are to actually deal with poverty and the increasing pressures on the middle class.

9. He realizes its compromising our democratic form of government

4. He has the most progressive agenda, including the best health care and wage/job protection plans,
Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 09:37 AM by Czolgosz
and is the most electable (perhaps the only one who beats likely Repub nominee McCain).

Hillary = back to the future (a past/future with tax cut for the wealthy and unfair trade)
Obama = pretty words about change followed by status quo compromise in the name of bi-partisanship
Edwards = real change for middle class and poor Americans and meaningful regulation of corporations

6. I would be happy to vote for him.
I see not one thing I do not like. I have been pretty pleased with all the people running in this party. I just like some better than others for very personal reasons. It is more a feeling than any thing else.

10. He Dares To Speak of What Multi-National Corps Are Doing to People
