As it should be. :)

1. Yay!

It's exciting to see it and feel it! Edwards is gaining huge momentum here on DU and soon, everywhere! :bounce:

2. I think....

.... It's already more than just on DU. There's STILL a non-notice of Edwards (and the other "also-rans") on MSM coverage. I don't think I ever gave much thought to how corporate America tries to shape my thinking before. Either that or they're simply trying to lend more time to the spectacle of a black and a woman duking it out. :grr:

3. I agree with you about the support being more widespread.

A few weeks ago I mentioned to two of my co-workers that I had chosen my candidate and that it was John Edwards. They nodded in agreement that he was the best choice. Now, my workplace, admittedly, tends to be pretty progressive, but still it was great to hear that my colleagues (who are progressive, but not as political as I am) were thinking along the same lines!

Thanks jamess - (15+ / 0-)

I loved the Doug Bishop intro - I needed to break out the tissues again!

My day is complete - I love the EENR's!

BTW: Check out DU - the Greatest Page is hopping with positive Edwards threads! Plus, a ton of Gore supporters coming into the fold! Iowa is a heartbeat away and so is the Presidency...President Edwards, I love that!

5. it has been decades

It has been decades since I have seen everyday people, non-political people, respond the way that I saw them respond to Edwards the other night.

This is not to dismiss or criticize the other candidates nor their supporters. "We are better than that." All of us. Together we can do this.

"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."

"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle-field, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

7. Beautiful, thank you so much for being here...

8. It's a movement.

It's an organic thing. I really believe that. Take a look at history, the last time there was this much of a discrepancy between the rich and the poor, was at the start of the last great Progressive revolution, starting more than a hundred years ago. We've been waiting, now we've found a leader to rally behind.
