Edwards vs Hillary and Obama
I've been watching CSPAN the last couple days, and Edwards is by far the best candidate I've seen.

Hillary and Obama are busy with their oprah-fied book tour, where they make a couple nice campaign promises (tuition, etc), but they don't come out and say what the real challenge is in this country.

Edwards has it nailed down.
Corporate power.

He's got it.

He's singing it.

And whether or not he could beat a Republican, he'd be singing that song in a Presidential election campaign, and that would shake up America, in my opinion.

We need to get that message on a national platform, ASAP.

1. The other two leading candidates just don't come close do they?
It really makes the other two look bad when one hears Edwards speak about what he will do for us.

3. The other two
... I can't figure out what their message is. It's some middle-of-the-road jibberish, honestly.

They're appealing to people who want change, but don't know why.

They're presenting themselves as a "safe" route for change.

Edwards' speech was downright subversive.

I loved it.

I doubt the corporate media would let him win, with that kind of talk.

But man, he'd wake up America. And that's the real issue.
