John Edwards is going for the JUGULAR on McCain

[bigdarryl]

He has a good slogan THE MCCAIN DOCTRINE. Say it long enough and he defines McCain even before he announces he's a candidate

[ChiciB1]

1. Go, Johnny, Go! n/t

[skooooo]

3. he's my candidate for 08!

[ChiciB1]

7. I'm A HUGE Bob Dylan Fan Too!

But Jackson Browne is almost my favorite!

14. ChiciB1, I'll support John Edwards, but that Avatar has to go

He's too handsome to have that kooky looking photo. If they get a new avatar, I would be willing to put
it on my messages.:hi:

[ChiciB1]

16. Hey, I DO Agree... I Just Made A Comment About That Earlier

tonight. Some others have some better ones, but I haven't checked to see if they are in the DU library!

But the avatar is pretty raw! He's much better looking, and in person.... WELL! Not my reason for supporting him, but he does have a way to make the ladies swoon! I would like to think I'm past that stage in my life! Before him it was Bobby Kennedy for me! I'm a Boomer and have been around for a while. My first election to vote in was McGovern.

24. As we all know; looks and charisma are a huge part of winning

I'm so old now, looks shouldn't matter, but they do. My three offspring are baby boomers, and I'm 74
years old. Edwards was good on the Leno show. He has a smile and attitude that can't be beat.

[ChiciB1]

25. I DO Agree With You... He's A Looker, & Even Better In Person!

I will admit that I did everything I could, probably stepped on a few toes as I made my way forward to shake his hand when I saw him "up close & personal!" But, I didn't say I would never wash my hand after that!

It was exciting though!

2. Love Edwards ~ !

[etherealtruth]

4. Good, someone needs to!

I adore Edwards:loveya:

I think tagging an escalation as the "McCain Doctrine" is a great political move.

[cyclezealot]

5. Unless Democrats go for the juglar

they are not worth our time. Repukes have been winning for over 20 years by going for the juglar. As soon as Congress ends, time to get nasty.

[mnhtnbb]

6. Sign a John Edwards initiated petition to tell Congress no funding for escalation

8. attack

I like Edwards, at least he's a fighter and is willing to attack his opponents, unlike the weakling stuttering Kerry.

[karynnj]

21. Seen together at any debate in 2004

Kerry was definately not a weakling next to Edwards. By the time the debates got down to Kerry, Edwards and Kuchinich - it was very evident that Kerry was far better.

Kerry's attack on Bush were far better than anything Edwards did and that is why he beat Edwards in the primaries.

9. when this surge fails - and it will

McCain will look like as big a jackass as Bush himself. Maybe not right away, but if it's repeated again and again and certainly over the life of a presidential campaign.

[LittleClarkie]

10. Johnny gets a cookie

He's about my second or third choice. Would be perfectly happy voting for him for prez.

[bigdarryl]

11. and Gulliani also he supports the surge just announced tonight

[newsguyatl]

12. good for him!

this is the kind of smart politicking that the dems need to start doing!

BRANDING and SLOGANS like this..

the Repubs are unfortunately very good at this,.

[Morgana LaFey]

13. And he knows how to do that. Better McCain than one of our own

like he did last time around.

[MODemocrat]

15. John Edwards is on the Jay Leno Show tonight

I'm not going to be up that late, so have the VCR set. My husband, as well as myself, is a huge fan of Edwards, always has been. :bounce: :bounce: :thumbsup:

[JNelson6563]

22. Thanks for that heads up!

Didn't know about that. :toast:

[NobleCynic]

23. Same here.

For once I may actually have to sit through Leno.

[bemildred]

17. What is interesting here is that being pro-war is seen as a

political liability, which it is, and that Edwards is willing to use that political club on McCain.

[David Zephyr]

18. Good for John Edwards!

I like that: The McCain Doctrine. That's the lawyer in Edwards and I'm glad he's done this.

[Triana]

19. That's my (former) senator ....

...and I voted for him for Senate, and VP and he is likely to have my vote for P - at least thus far. Love that man.

[Cha]

20. Good! Someone needs to

deactivate that Crooked Talker.

[ultraist]

26. The McCain doctrine

Agree, it's a nice preemptive strike on McCain and a wise spear into the insane idea of escalation.

Edwards is calling on Congress to block any funds for an escalation. You can sign the petition here: http://johnedwards.com/
