4. He is finally
saying the things we talk about every day here, that the media usually gets to conveniently block out.

Go, Johnny, GO!!!

8. I used to teach highschool and I've thought about it for a long time.
It would have the effect of allowing those who are not ready to succeed in highschool to go and grow up and then come back (if they survive their dysfunctional issues) to come back to school when they're ready. Of course, they should not be completely cut off, while they are "growing up" but with the right kinds of support (job training, child care) they could eventually come back to get the education that they want. This would be real good for the students who DO want to remain in school.

I believe JE has also said school should be year 'round. Something else I heartily endorse. The kinds of scheduling this would allow would be MUCH better for working teens.

John Edwards vs. John McCain Head to Head Matchup Polls

Last Updated: 1/10/08

Number of electoral votes based on the latest polls for each state:

John Edwards - 225
John McCain - 216

Month John Edwards John McCain
January 44.3 43.8

On Edit: I just did a google and posted w/o realizing these nos. came from a damn republican site!
Very sorry!

BUT

take a look at this:
John Edwards is the Most Electable - The Proof is in Oklahoma
1/10/08

On November 13, 2007, we crunched the presidential matchup numbers and published an article entitled "John Edwards is the Most Electable Democrat" that was widely published around the internet by John Edwards supporters.

We took a break from crunching the numbers to focus more on the primary schedule but we found even more convincing evidence of the success that a John Edwards candidacy would have in a general election.

We published the results of an Oklahoma primary poll in December, that showed Hillary Clinton in first place among Democrats with 34% and John Edwards in a strong respectable second place with 25%. On the Republican side, it was Mike Huckabee that lead the pack with 29% support followed by John McCain with 17%.

But it was in the general election poll numbers where we saw John Edwards' strength.

Democratic Margins of Victory vs. Republican Candidates

Republican..... ....Clinton...... ....Obama........ ....Edwards
Rudy Giuliani.... loses by 12%.... loses by 19%... wins by 6%
Mitt Romney ...loses by 13% .....loses by 21% .....wins by 13%
Mike Huckabee ...loses by 21% ...loses by 29% ...loses by 2%
John McCain ...loses by 30% ...loses by 36% ...loses by 11%

REMEMBER: THIS IS A REPUB SITE!

Source: http://www.usaelectionpolls.com/2008/polls/pdfs/tulsa-world-oklahoma-december-2007.pdf

John Edwards performs roughly 18% to 26% better than Hillary Clinton depending on the Republican candidate that they go up against.
