4. Edwards isn't running a Favorite Son Campaign
1. First, he's concluding his tour in North and South Carolina, so basically, "whatev"
2. Edwards is running a national campaign encouraging all of us to otake responsibility now and act to make America a better place with the idea of changing the cultura to an extent that will allow this movement to be elected to power, so announcing in a place where the conservative movement failed so miserably, but where grassroots have done what they can, is perfect for framing the campaign.

Washington shouldn't rule out the use of military force against Iran, former US senator John Edwards told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday while on a visit here

besides helping start the ongoing ones:

2. Great - I am waiting for the live cast today
You are so lucky to have been there. Great videos!

I love the Edwards has really embraced the netroots for his campaign making himself available and transparent. The live cast are great, each one I have listened to, I have been impressed with different stance on positions that I wasn't aware of. In Iowa - he said he was against the draft. Yesterday in NH he said that with Universal Health Care, he answered aquestion from the audience and his answer was that yes, mental health issues should be included in the Universal Health Care. Than many times mental health issues are left out.

I agree with him on that, they are left out, many times families bare the burden. So I am loving these live cast and videos where we the people can hear him say it with our own two ears and can get it from the begining to the end, without some MSM telling us bits and pieces of what they want us to hear.

Edwards should be applauded for taking the netroots along! Many times the working people can't get to these events, it is wonderful to find them online later when you are off and can stay involved.

Thanks for your post - I really really appreciate it.

3. "Edwards has really embraced the netroots"
Indeed! The Edwards for President campaign looks like it will be setting a new precedent for including the netroots for Presidential campaigns.

6. UPDATE on live webcasts
I just read that there will not be a live webcast for the SC event and it's beyond my editing time in the OP. I'm not sure whether or not the NC event will be live streamed or not. I just assumed they will doing webcasts for the entire tour, my mistake.
