Is Edwards the new Clinton?
I know that when he 1st ran for elected office, everyone was doing this comparison, but my golly I see the similarities.

I am a Clark gal from NC, but I really love this guy. Especially since he is talking about the middle class AND the working poor.

Folks this is going to go over extremely well down here. He is such a likable guy that I feel that the North will not be an extreme hardship for him.

As a matter of fact I feel comfortable saying that he will do better in the North than the Northern candidates will do in the South!

2. I hope not, though both are charming
At the present time, I have no qualms about Edward's ability to behave himself in his office if you know what I mean.

6. JFK? Interesting
you are probably right, because I think that Edwards isn't the centrist that Clinton was, but like Clinton he appeals to the Democratic base-minorities and the working class.

10. Everyone is taking a 2nd look at him
especially me, but I still sticking with Clark though.

A Clark/Edwards would be to ridiculous(in a good way)! How would Bush/Cheney be able to go against those two. Can you imagine a debate with Edwards and Cheney?

Just imagining this scenario gives me goosebumps!

11. I've been saying this from the start
people just can't resist the accent especially when the speaker is so capable and with such a message.

Better watch this guy, he's going places.

16. Hey, I love the Big Dawg
He was a great President and I am proud to have voted for him both times. Would have voted for him again, if I had the chance.
