6. Not only that but,
Edwards got a 15% from the chamber of Congress, Kerry a zero.

Kerry voted against the bankruptcy bill that Edwards voted for.

Kerry's work on things like expanding the microloan program are real accomplishments that really do help the samll businesses and people - not corporations.

From this, Kerry is the more anti-corporation of the two. (Plus he pushed 2 monopolies to let everyone see the Patriots tie the record.)

9. True, but
you have to start somewhere. The point is it can be done despite the odds.

16. Not without the support of superdelegates, apparently.

Edwards appears to be the least likely of the three top Dem candidates to receive the majority of the support of these superdelegates who wield 40% of the decision-making power.
