John Edwards was EXTRAORDINARY today…as always. No question in my mind: He will be the next President of the United States and he’ll need all the help he can get as he attempts to correct all the damage BU$HCO has caused.

Romney will be President come January, 2009.

:rofl: He better not come over here!
