Why vote for Edwards?

That just cheapens his stance on the issues, imo.
As does this:
What is this? American Idol?
But, he'll most likely get my vote in the primary and, hopefully, in the general election.
Edwards is an awesome candidate if you vote for him. He is very bright and I believe it when he says he will fight for working individuals as he was rather poor when he was younger but now a multimillionaire. I think he has better debating skills and can relate to his constiuency better than Kerry or Bush, he reminds me of a JFK/Clinton figure but probably has better morals.
Considering the number of Democrats that have chosen electability as their number one reason for voting for a particular candidate, I don't see any problem with those statements.
By the way, he is correct. He is far more electable than John Kerry.

And I'm a registered republican....
Created a poll for it here So far Edwards is dominating. I don't see why Kerry has the following that he has if half the people are voting for him to get Bush out of the white house, when nominating him is guaranteeing Dubya anothewr 4 years. Especially since Nader has tossed his hat in the ring.
He does even have a snowballs chance of carrying his own state come the general election (remind you of anyone else).
Edwards is a joke to people here in North Carolina.
Has anyone even stopped to ask why he is even remotely qualified to be president?

Oh yeah thanks to that Edwards site link, thats the funniest thing I have seen in ages......
"Not part of the elite", "Not Beholden to Special Interests", "Republicans are Scared of Him"
Who makes this stuff up???????? Damn funny stuff no Sh*t

Democratic Senators from North Carolina rarely last more than one term
Besides, he wouldn't be the first Democratic candidate to fail to carry his home state.
Seriously Edwards is a joke which you'll see for yourself if he becomes to big of threat to Kerry.
I love when them Dems turn on each other its funny stuff.....
Kerry has your nomination sewn up, question is will Edwards recant and settle for VP?

Well, when you look at the polls that say most dem voters just want someone who can beat Bush (and vote for Kerry because of this), it becomes important for Edwards...
How many voters know nothing about Kerry except that he's leading in the race for the Democratic nomination?
People forget that every story with a headline like "Kerry would beat Bush if the election were held today" also contains a short blurb that shows those same respondents would pick Edwards over Bush...
But yes, there are plenty of reason to support Edwards otherwise
Thats a HUGE OUTRIGHT LIE. So is not being an elite. He might not have grown up that way, but he is an elite, he associates with elites, he is solely finanically backed by elites.
Edwards campaign is solely funded by trial lawyers. His chief fund raiser is a trial lawyer, Fred Baron.
Hes is beholden to trial lawyers. He would be a puppet for the likes of Fred Baron and his ilk.
I have no doubt Edwards would stop any laws passing that would put much needed restirctions and or caps on trial lawyers.
If Edwards wasnt backed by shady people, like Baron, and he wasnt a trial lawyer, hed be a good candidate.

Thats a national poll. On a state by state basis Bush wipes the floor with Kerry or Edwards. Polls show Bush carrying all of the red states of 2000 by large margins, while Kerry is barely hanging on to a narrow margin in the blue states of 2000.
I would definately prefer Edwards over Kerry who I aint crazy about at all.
But it's.....
Anyone but Bush!!!

Look the people of North Carolina KNOW that Edwards is a joke, its funny as heck just watching the rest of the country getting hoodwinked. It will end though soon enough, when the Kerry politcal machine finds it expediant to do so.
Look bottom line is the guy is a lying, backstabbing trial lawyer from good old NC. He isnt even a one term Senator for petes sake and has ABSOLUTElY NO BUSINESS being President. He started campaigning for president as soon as he was elected here as NC Senator. He has been gone from NC and his job so often its beyond comprehesion. People him call him Senator AWOL.
IF by some miricle, he gets the party nomination he will lose to Bush by 20 points EASY here in NC and its his home. Dont any of you "smart" democrates understand the significance of that? He cliams his stronghold is the south? Yeah right hahahahahah

Notice that the site did not discuss any issues at all (unless you consider the linking to speeches, but he doesn't say a whole lot then, either). The whole page seems to be say "oh, look I'm more attractive than Kerry, and I can win," rather than showing what he stands for. I've noticed this trend on whole for the Democratic party this year. They seem more concerned with winning than trying to talk about issues.
You talking about www.john-edwards.net or www.johnedwards2004.com or both? The first site being an un-official site ( And as such, is a tad fanboy-ish). And the second being the official site. Just Curious.
I was referring to the unofficial one. The official site is a bit better, but feels more like empty rhetoric than real statements of view.
Ah, ok. Thanks for clearing that up.
As for it being "empty rhetoric" I don't know. I'm more inclined to belive him or atleast give him the benefit of the doubt over Dean or Kerry. The idea of Dean or Kerry as president just doesn't sit well with me. Dean is to extreme in my opinion and Kerry has to much baggage.
