Edwards--more than worthy of consideration

[Mythsaje]

Sure, he's a trial lawyer. And I've got my issues with lawyers. It's hard to get my blood up for a class of people who can bend the truth in unexpected ways without ever actually lying outright. I'm all for diplomacy and tact, but I'm not a big one for artifice or deliberate obfuscation.

The whole 400 dollar haircut thing left me scratching my head, because I simply couldn't imagine anyone who wasn't an eighties rocker NEEDING to spend 400 bucks on a haircut.

I don't care how big a house he lives in, personally. Speaking for myself, even when and if I become rich and famous (still working on that--I figure I have a fair-to-middling chance, considering how original my fiction actually is), I can't imagine living in a house with any more rooms than I would have real uses for. A couple of extra bedrooms for guests, or my boys when they come to visit, a den/library for me, and a hobby room for my wife, plus a decent kitchen and a couple of bathrooms. Anything more than that would feel like conspicuous consumption and would just aggravate me.

But I like the fact that he is not only interested in the strength of America's middle class, but is concerned about the effects of poverty on those who could only aspire to the middle class. These are things that NEED addressed, and I don't think someone has to live like a monk to speak about them with earnest regard.

If he became the candidate, I would not hesitate to vote for him.

1. Big, cruel corporations reluctantly paid for that haircut.

Wish it had been $600.

2. John Edwards is another good choice for a Democratic Presidential Candidate.

John understands the plight of the American working middle class which includes most of 'US'. Most politicians are lawyers, what else is new. 'WE' certainly don't want anymore corporate psychopaths running the WH, DO WE?? When a hair stylist has to make a 'house call' to provide a haircut, it is easy to understand how it can cost $400.00. John Edwards message, ideas and focus are in the right place and he would make an excellent candidate for President.
