Sherrod Brown gives high praise to John Edwards
Note: Sen. Sherrod Brown announced several months ago that he would not endorse a Dem candidate in the '08 elections. But he did have some very good things to say about John Edwards recently. Maybe he sympathizes with Edwards on the frustration of serving in the Senate.

Brown had high praise for ex-U.S. Sen. John Edwards, who is lagging behind U.S. Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton in polls.

Brown likes Edwards' "populist message," his concern about free-trade policies, and his stand against big oil and pharmaceutical companies.

"I'd like to see Edwards' message more from Obama and Clinton," he said.

Brown said he met with Clinton last month for an hour to discuss how to win Ohio. Clinton campaigned for Brown in his successful 2006 Senate campaign.

Brown is optimistic a Democrat will be elected president because voters are focused on the "real issues of the day," such as health care, education and job creation and "are tired of distractions," such as gay marriages, abortions and gun rights.

3. Its the closest thing we'll get to an endorsement from Brown
he said he wouldn't endorse and he'll probably stick by it.

11. John Edwards Does Not Exist
It's a protest and reminder of how Edwards has been "disappeared" by much of the MSM.

14. You're welcome. I can't take credit for originating it
In some respects, it's a like ITMFA (Impeach The Mother Fucker Already)

Being asked to explain what it means is a good thing.

I live in PA but am an Ohio native. I wish Bob Casey would do the same thing!

10. Yeah, I don't know what that was about
I like Strickland, but he does some really odd things sometimes. My guess is that Strickland had to raise a lot of money in 06 to run for Governor and the Clintons may have helped him raise it. That could be the reason for a lot of Hillary endorsements.
