1. Wouldn't it be a switch to have a "genuine real person" in the White House?
I love Kucinich, but I would gladly accept John Edwards as my president any day of the week, and he'd probably be able to get a lot more done since he is a bit more "mainstream" in his ideas.

2. I love Kucinich
And will not accept a candidate like Edwards. He is pro-war, pro-corporate, pro-PATRIOT Act, pro-nuclear, and pro-HMOs. I cannot handle a future with leaders like that. We must phase out people like this so the citizenry can regain power. But understand I am not suggesting we find people to do the work for us to win back this country. No, we must do the work and elect people who are fit to lead us against corporate warmongers like the top-tiered Democratic candidates running for president.

I guess right wing corporate whores like Thom Hartmann and Edward Kennedy don't know what they are talking about.

9. John Edwards OPPOSES nuclear power.
Of the three top Democratic presidential candidates, John Edwards is the only one to declare that no new nuclear power plants should be built until the issue of waste is resolved.

Currently most scientists agree that permanently storing nuclear waste in deep underground facilities is the best solution. But we’re talking about waste that will be a severe threat to the environment for tens of thousands of years. And in some circumstances, millions of years. But John Edwards and a lot of scientists understand that the reality is that we have no real permanent solution to what to do with nuclear waste. <snip>

5. That was a nice interview.
It didn't seem to have the "gotcha" aspect to it at all.
