38. I'm leaning a bit toward Edwards myself

Indeed in the best of all possible worlds I would prefer a genuine all-around progressive like Dennis Kucinich or Bernie Sanders. But, I just don't, at this time, see this within the realm of possibility for 2008.

Edwards addresses the issue of poverty more frequently and more boldly than any American politician I have heard since LBJ.

He is now involved in a major effort to help with organizing hotel workers.

“Can we still really call America the land of opportunity when hotel workers who work full time for profitable hotel companies can not make ends meet?”
-Sen. John Edwards
