Keith Olberman quoted Edwards at the beginning of his show, stating, "This will be an election, not an auction!" For more on what Olberman and Edwards discussed, watch the video!

4. Thanks! Great Interview -
He was relaxed and in his stride! Go, Johnny, GO!

Side Note....he really could have said more about a certain subject, but Bless him, he did the right thing.

31. When KO asks
John about what Bill Clinton said about the defending bush on Iraq from the Left..and Edwards says it's hillary who's on the ticket.

It reminds me of the couric interview with the Edwards' when katie was a little rottie and John and Elizabeth were kind to her, in spite of her asininity.

KO was great, too..I never see him so it was a rare Treat!~

5. I wish Edwards irony was easier to detect.
Edwards started out playing along sarcastically with Keith, on the issue of answering questions from non-party members. But maybe it was a bit to subtle for the average viewer. I sure hope his words aren't taken out of context to be used against him.

Other than that, it was a fine performance. I sure would like to see him win Iowa, so we can get a more substantive and populist discussion going on in this election cycle.

Anyone that didn't get that is being willfully ignorant.

7. Good interview!
Edwards clearly explains the differences between himself and Clinton, and also the choices between Edwards and the Republicans. I'm glad this is posted here for anyone who missed Olberman's program!

10. That was very
impressive for me..not having heard John in long time. I happen to love his Southern accent and I'm not from the South. :)

I hope the mediawhores don't succeed in crucifying him cause I know they'd like to. I can feel their itchy knives now.

Cool News about Rudd announcing an Austrailian withdrawal from Iraq!

And KO was superdude! Thanks, ultraist!

14. thanks ultraist
that's one great interview!

That John Edwards sure makes a lot sense!

It's no wonder that GOP Undecided Voters,
prefer John Edwards, over their own group, lol!

(What'd Edwards call em -- Bush-lites on Steroids? )

thanks again for the clip

20. Edwards is probably the best candidate in the top tier
Now it's too late for Al Gore to get into the race for the Dem nomination, I am taking a close look at all the candidates on our side.

I would like a Democratic ticket that will be competitive and can campaign in all 50 States.

We should be fighting the GOP in the Red States so we won't have to fight them in the Blue States.

I like Joe Biden, but he needs some kind of a miracle to happen for him either in Iowa or NH.

I like Barack Obama, but I am not sure if he is ready for the top job yet.

I think John Edwards has been doing great in the televised debates and interviews.

If Edwards wins in Iowa then I think he could win the nomination and the Whitehouse.

But if Obama beats Edwards in Iowa then it will all be over for Johnny.

22. well he is unconvincing to me; pro-WAR/Patriot Act, CFR, Builderburg,. etc.
Well it is 'nice' that he is seemingly against the war NOW,. however lets look at the RECORD!

wikipedia say;

"He cosponsored Lieberman's S.J.RES.46, the Iraq War Resolution, and also later voted for it in the full Senate to authorize the use of military force against Iraq,<17> saying on October 10, 2002 that "Almost no one disagrees with these basic facts: that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a menace; that he has weapons of mass destruction and that he is doing everything in his power to get nuclear weapons; that he has supported terrorists; that he is a grave threat to the region, to vital allies like Israel, and to the United States; and that he is thwarting the will of the international community and undermining the United Nations' credibility."<18> He subsequently apologized for that military authorization vote. Edwards also supported and voted for the Patriot Act."

He has also worked with the CFR, and Builderburg,. not at all positive signs for fighting the pirate bankers.
Not only voted for the WAR he cosponsored the resolution! and then voted FOR the Patriot Act!!! Come on get serious "democrats".

The guy is mold-able like cookie-dough,. and unprincipled. WAR is always the WRONG answer,. you only build EMPIRES and create new pirate bankers through war,. it does not create peace. period. Johny didn't get it right the first time and now has changed views,. Kucinich got it right the first time,. but I guess Americans will prefer a Ken-doll with no conviction who is easily molded and controlled by the shadow government. Good luck with that.

23. so whats your opinion of Bobby Kennedy?
Edited on Fri Nov-30-07 11:18 AM by LSK
You know, that guy who once worked for Sen McCarthy and was a war hawk who turned into THE anti-war candidate in 1968?

Also Edwards was INTERVIEWED by the Bildenburgs after he was chosen as a VP candidate. EVERYONE is interviewed by them, even Kucinich would meet with them if he became a nominee. It is also in your interest to meet with them if you are going to be president regardless of what your agenda is. Like it or not they are a powerful influence in the world and as a world leader you meet with them.

Are we not criticizing Bush contantly for not talking to his "enemies" i.e. Iran? Why should it not be the same with meeting with the big money in the world? It doesnt just because you talk to them you are bought and paid for by them.

26. What's Not To Like?? I Saw Some Others Talking At Other Posts That He
was evasive, tentative and not answering the questions, I didn't get that impression at all!

As usual John Edwards had another great interview, and what people aren't catching on to is beyond me. I will add this though, I do see more people supporting him now!

27. He's great and should be the nominee, though he's going to need to show
a little more toughness if he's to stand up to these hawkish pukes.

28. Wow!
A man with a REAL Southern accent, not a fake Texas one, making complete sentences, with a subject and a verb, that make sense....
A man who voted for giving Bush authority but then after finding out he was lied to, admits he made a mistake and is trying to get in a position where he can do something to fix it.... IOW, accountable and responsible.

Imagine someone like that for as president! I know...I know.... children born the last time we saw such a thing are now walking, talking and in school.... it's been a long while.... but just imagine it!

32. The ONLY thing that bothered me about this interview
is that JE called this a war. Its NOT a war, its an occupation. JE is my man and I will vote for him, but I sure wish they would all stop calling this crap a war.

34. What I like about Edwards is that he can answer questions without blinking
He doesn't have to calculate his answer.
