7. As an Edwards supporter, I really don't like to see posts like this and I'll tell you why..
it just does us no good. I heard Obama say that, and it was awkwardly worded. I think its an attempt to incorporate a more populist and substantive message in his speeches. And yes, it moves him more to the progressive side.. more to the way JE would like things to be done. I don't think the fact that Obama is being forced to take more inclusive positions a bad thing.. its good. That he's following Edwards' lead, also not a bad thing.

Our biggest threat is not Obama. Its Hillary Clinton. Knocking Obama down is only going to help her. That's a fact. I think most people realize that Obama has more $$, has more corporate $$.. but to lump him into the same classification of HRC as a corporate shill is a disservice to him, and to Edwards. That's just me.
