and I can't argue with someone's gut reaction, obviously.

I can't say anything other than look at the youtube posted today of his walk through of the NH debate site. He seems different there, and this is, I believe, the truer John Edwards.

Maybe you won't like him there, either, and that's fair. You seem honest enough, and not happy to dislike him (which is refreshing here).

I know enough about him to say that he is still that guy from Robbins, trying to play football and hoping to find a career that could help his family.

The anti-poverty stuff comes from somewhere real, I believe, and is sincere.
