John Edwards

As my choice for the best Democratic candidate for President was Joe Biden, I can’t be as passionate as others are in the battle taking place right now between Clinton and Obama. Though I now support Hillary, I think both candidates are good and would be happy to have either one face off against McCain. So I’ve looked towards the oncoming Democratic convention. The convention is the time to show off the Democrats best face, and I think it would be a good opportunity to show how large a tent the Democrats have as compared to the Republicans. Here’s my own wish list of speakers.

I didn't expect to hear this today. It seems to me likely that this news plays in Barack's favor. What do you all think?

Over the next ten days or so I shall be posting a multi-part series on why Hillary Clinton is my choice for President.

I know that many of you will greet these postings with responses that range from doubt to open hostility. As unwarranted as I believe such reactions to be, that is your right. I too have my doubts about some of her past positions, not many, but some (the flag burning legislation for example). But overall, I will outline the case for her nomination and election. And while Senator Obama and former Senator Edwards talk about change, Hillary has been actively engaged in making it happen—often in the face of fierce Right-wing hostility. All I ask is that you give me the courtesy of stating my peace and then for you to reflect upon what I offer as proof.
