Noted, Kristi. This is a big endorsement for the Edwards campaign, and there will be other states falling in behind Iowa. I am a member of Edwards 2008 group.

I really like John Edwards allot and wish he would get more press. He is always ignored in favor of the Clinton Obama two horse race. I frankly think Edwards had allot more of a candidacy than Obama..he is a very young and untried politician and is running on charm and being the first African American really. Maybe later with more experience. But Edwards is a class A candidate and really addressing DEMOCRAT concerns and really haveing the courage of DEMOCRAT concerns. I will vote for Hillary if she is nominated and have no doubt whe will be a fine leader; but if I had my druthers I'd vote Edwards. I think he is being sidelined because his positions are REAL Democrate ones and he is not pandering at all to the corporate crowd - is a populace candidate and that scares the big money. They will back Clinton knowing full well she'll probably do what her husband did and water down the Democratic mission to middle position - half Republican; and still very much aware of pleasing the money power in our system.
I wish the Democratic party and Dr. Dean and more would try harder to correct the idea that there are only two viable Democratic runners - Mr. Edwards is a REAL candidate and a REAL courageous one and that is really what we need. He probably won't want the vice nomination again if Hillary gets nominated but she couldn't do better if she offers it.
