1. Keep shaping Clinton and Obama's message.
They sound more like Edwards every day.

exactly
the irony of the person whos been campaigning on a populist ideaology the whole time getting beat by corporatists who changed their song and dance.

turns out they dance better than edwards to the song.

money helps that out alot im sure ;)
the media calling you a 'rock star' doesnt hurt either ;)

4. I wish Edwards would start a network across this nation, ferreting out
local political corruption, the way that the NAACP seeks out evidence of discrimination. It would be a good place for volunteers to learn about the law, and maybe become more effective in their pursuits to clean up their communities.

20. republican presidency
It is so sad how gullible voters are. It's the forest for the trees thing. Karl Rove said it best. He foretold that the Democrats would nominate a fatally flawed candidate and lose, and he was right. Neither Obama nor Clinton will win or be allowed to win. With Edwards as the nominee, they couldn't steal the election because it wouldn't be close. Close elections are easy to steal, as we saw in 2000 and 2004. How do you think everyone would be voting today if they knew it would result in another Republican in the White House?

6. I'm sticking with him. He can go the distance and have
a considerable number of delegates at the convention. If Hillary or Barak don't have a majority, he may get another shot at the VP slot.. heck, he could get named to the presidental spot if the others are too politically battered.

He *IS* shaping the message, even on the republican side to focus more on middle class issues.

15. I donated to Edwards yesterday
with little hope that he has a real chance BUT I want his message to continue being heard. I think Edwards so far has really framed the Democratic debate but I don't think he has any chance of winning the nomination. If I'm wrong and he does, great, if I'm right then I'm prepared to vote for Hillary.

Our country is in very serious financial trouble and I'm feel like Hillary brings more ability to deal with that than anyone even though I like Edward's message better.
