Edwards is best on labor. So how many outraged ppl are supporting labor?
as opposed to being ignorant of Corporate responsibilities and merely anti-Clinton?

"In the last two years, I have walked 200 picket lines. I have helped organize thousands of workers with 23 national unions."

6. If he would have walked those picket lines before running for
President, it might mean something.

7. Walking the picket line is essential for my vote.
When I was on strike, my senator (Clinton) supported my union after months of lobbying her (she wrote a middling letter of support). Her almost unheard of challenger (who got 17% of the vote with a $150K campaign) walked my line regularly (never campaigned on it) and went to jail with me.

It's one thing to refuse to cross a picket line and talk banally about workers' rights; it's another to get in the trenches.

Walking a picket line for any amount of time is boring, exhausting work.

10. Not only has he voted for unions
but in the past few years, he has helped set up unions. He didn't spend all his time in Iowa, contrary to popular beliefs.
