1. You're right.

He does say "Obama is out here every day criticizing me and attacking me."

News Item: Edwards quotes Edwards. :)

2. Why wasn't the camera on Edwards?

Was that raw footage of Candy Crowley's angle or did it air like that?

5. I agree

I'd rather be looking at him than at her. This appears to be standoffish on CNN's part.

3. Is he going to talk about his $400 haircut? His 25,000 foot house? His IWR vote?

My subject is every bit as stupid and useless as that garbage you posted in the Biden thread, huh?

9. Only if..

those were important things about Edwards that no one else can claim. His 25,000 s.f house compares to the houses of all the other multi-millionaires in this race and the house of the president in Crawford at @28,000 s.f. This is all trivia and unimportant in the campaign except to sully someone who one doesn't like for any reason.
I like Edwards and may try to write his name in here in Texas if he does not secure the nomination but on the other hand I will vote for whoever is nominated by the Democrats rather than give any vote to a repub. My brief against Hillary is not political but about the fear of dynasty. If she were to be elected it would mean at least 24 years of POTUS from just 2 families and I don't think that is a good thing.

10. do try to keep up

he's already addressed the haircut and all the other rightwing talking points you've spewed. Enjoy your stay on DU. :eyes:

4. More excellent reponses by Edwards. Wish the camera was

on him rather than the interviewer.

6. But don't you love looking at her snout?

7. John Edwards Answers Questions With Such Ease... I Have Noticed

certain traits by now. Generally he says "first of all...explain his point) then he says "second of all"... explains his point) and isn't generally caught "off guard." Even with Crowley.

He now has acquired good instincts and realizes he wants to be who he is, NOT what he was as a Senator. Because in case you haven't noticed, most Senators stick together by the Party line and in his first outing as a Senator he wanted to excel, as most of them do. He made mistakes because many old timers were making the same mistakes. And perhaps he wanted to show his constituents that having beaten a Republican, they chose the right man.

Bottom line for me... he seems to be thinking for himself now and it shows.

8. He's right...I trust him to be smart and tough to fight for America.

Hillary is tough, but I don't trust her words. Obama is smart, but I don't think he's a fighter, as he talks about "bringing people together"...ugh.
