Wising up

Edwards didn't serve even one complete term in the Senate, talk about lack of experience. He was a mediocre Sanator at best, ask anyone left right or center from NC, and he didn't swing any southern state for Kerry in 2004. Suggesting he would accomplish any of this now is preposterous. This is typical far away thinking: you live far away from the south and think Edwards was popular, he wasn't. He was elected primarily due to dislike of Senator Faircloth and it was a tight race! As the kiss of foolishness in your peice you mention how Edwards could be the next Kerry that New Hampshire and Iowa could unleash...and you think that's a good idea? Do you work for the republican party? Edwards is a bad idea, he was in 2004 and he still is today.

The second quarter in a row, that Ron Paul surprised all with his fundraising, 40,000 donors? More money raised this quarter than McCain, Romney (minus his own money!), Edwards. Vegas linemakers are moving Ron Paul up and you still have him at 200,000 to 1? Ron Paul has a much stronger chance at winning the Repub nomination that Kucinch or even Richardson win the Dem. primary. On the economy and the war, nobody is stronger than Ron Paul. Young people aren't as stupid and uncaring as we have conditioned to buy into. The grassroots is alive and stong. Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel.

outside of iowa, there's really no such thing as "grassroots". such a phenom exist there because of the nature of the caucuses. it's all gotv.and at this point, regardless of polls, theresa villmane, a local veteran there, is riding with the clinton war party. you may also find part of a boston cadre of experienced hands there as well. the notion of the "grassroots" just rising-up is a dream. they never have, never will. just ask marx...then pass the bong, yes?
