[chimpymustgo]

11. Elizabeth Edwards up now.

She is lovely, very funny.

[JI7]

12. so sweet

edward's wife speaking. she is telling some stories about him. they are a very close family. that's why he speaks about families so much.

[chimpymustgo]

13. I want a President like John Edwards...

Man, if he's half what Elizabeth says - I'll take him. Great couple.

[chimpymustgo]

16. Thank god for C-SPAN.

Everybody else bailed out.

We're gonna give America back to you!

[JI7]

17. he is so cute

i love his southern accent also.

[chimpymustgo]

18. He is gorgeous. But he's also a great man,

And will be a great President.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

19. I like his message, but...

it seems as if he is going for sound bites. I've heard him speak to smaller groups when things were less prepared and was thrilled to hear what he had to say.

His gestures are too contrived right now... He seemed much more at ease last night with Stewart.

[chimpymustgo]

20. You bet he's going for soundbites. He's gonna be on the news!

Billy, I think his speech is awesome! I love the way he keeps smiling, when people cheer.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

23. I did notice and enjoy when, during the applause, he looked out

into the crowd and acknowledged friends with a "Hey, Ted.... Hey, Joe." I really appreciate his roots as well. Almost Clintonian and will serve him well if elected.

Man, there's a lot of good people to choose from in this group of candidates. There's only two of which I would be really disappointed if they got the nod.


(paraphrased from an Edwards speech)

[JI7]

21. he is better in smaller groups

he does the best when he speaks in small groups and directly to other people who ask questions such as in town hall type gatherings.

[chimpymustgo]

22. Gripping and grinning now. You like?

The guy does have some interpersonal skills.

[cally]

24. His speech was awesome!

The speech by Elizabeth was even better. I like Edwards and I have more respect for him. Theis crowd had more African-Americans than I've seen at any of the other announcement speeches. He is incredible with the crowd and mingling. He looks each person in the eye and seems to just enjoy.

I like so many of our candidates.

25. Edwards is a good choice

for VP or President. It's just the real start of the campaign, so he has time to gather steam. My front 4 are Clark, Dean, Kerry, and Edwards.

And Edwards does have that nice charm factro, doesn't he / :evilgrin:
