Some on DU are cherry picking to say otherwise but even the scum MSM is admitting that.He has to have a lot more support than is indicated to be able to be doing this.I think he is going to win IOWA and do well in NH.Hillary, despite the MSM heaping praises on her seems to be in trouble.Some of her dirt is going to haunt her.

1. We must "Believe" !
Don't let the naysayers worry you too much on the public boards, he's doing just fine, otherwise they wouldn't be so concerned :D

I think the Obama and Edwards supporters are going to start an alliance pretty soon, both have taken some major hits over "there" lately.

2. What is frightening is how quickly another major candidates prime supporter caved to the Hillary
camp immediately following the Debate.He even posted that it was basically inevitable that she would win the nomination.very odd indeed.

3. I refuse to buy the "Hillary is inevitable" meme before anyone has even had the chance to vote
in a primary. I really hope Edwards wins big in Iowa!

4. I have made an effort not to knock anyones candidate

but I have felt from the very beginning the MSM and others have put Hillary out there as the Democratic choice before the first primaries have even been run. Night after night we get treated to these stories about her being the leader in this poll, or ahead in this state. I call Bull!!

Truthfully, I've become a great big cynic on polls and the talking heads of the MSM. Perhaps I'm a bit paranoid, but I just feel none of them (with a few exceptions-Keith Olbermann for one) can be trusted.

I will wait and see how everything plays out. I personally think John is doing well. While I haven't always been pleased with his votes while in Congress, ( he was my Senator) I think a man can change. He is after all human and I think he has learned from his mistakes.

Like I told someone the other day, if we wait for the perfect candidate, one who never makes mistakes, we will be waiting a very long time.

All I can say is: Go John Go!!!

7. Well, I really applaud all candidates except Hillary. I cannot countenance the dirty
campaign she has run.Mark Penn has done everything from planting false stories in Newspapers and tabloids,playing the gender card and push polling to planted questions and "boo birds". Much of this has been verified and if one knows the history of 1992 , these are not tactics Hillary is unfamiliar with.Most of this dirt has been flung at Edwards and some at Obama.I cannot remain silent about such unfair dirty campaigning.And if the revelation of such is perceived as "knocking' a candidate, I guess I can live with that.

5. At times, I've gotten over my head in trying to reason with anti-Edwards thread rats, and their
posts become more unreasonable and filled with bile.

I remember an old saying....."Ugly is as ugly does"......and so I am really working hard to restrain myself.

Occasionally I will send a private message to the original poster, to support their effort.....but gee wiz, it really gets ugly and it is just plain not productive.

Cheers to all and go John Edwards.

I love having Edwards soul mates.....it is comforting.


:toast: :
