9. Ummmm...he's had a real job
for the majority of his 50 years. I think helping Howard at the DNC would be a perfect use of Edwards' skills, as long as he doesn't evolve again.

8. Ideally who ever wins the nomination will build their administration from
all the other candidates.
These people are all great candidates in their own ways and each one has something that something for us all.
Combine them and their views, who knows how great it could become.

10. Do An Al Gore
only instead of the environment being his issue, it could be workers' rights, healthcare or poverty.

Of course, if he's offered a position in a Democratic administration, I think he should take it. If not, keep fighting even after the campaign is over.

13. I did the same poll for Hillary and Obama last Saturday, so to imply

that this is an attack to Edwards is absolutely stupid. Your personal attack is baseless.

15. Links ?
Most of us (thank Gawd) probably missed them. So if you're going to do a series, links help. I'll vote *present* in those too :hi:

20. I'm not implying anything and, although personal, this is hardly an attack on you.
By the way, why'd you you put "highly unlikely" in that last choice?

16. Edwards should apologize for co-sponsoring the Iraq War Resolution.
He shouldn’t be our president, neither should anyone else who was stupid enough, or corrupt enough to vote yes to the IWR. Giving Bush the power to go to war with Iraq was irresponsible to say the least. ...If they didn’t know about PNAC and their plan to Rebuild America‘s Defense“ through aggression, then shame on them.

19. I ask myself what I would do in his position if I didn't become the nominee.
Having a wife with recurrent and incurable breast cancer would certainly make me slow down to spend some time with her and the children.

Personally, I'd love to see his energy put toward some good in our country so several of the options above are good ones.

But first, go back to the family and make sure all is right in your home.
