I'm honestly not much for prosletyzing -- or politicians -- but I think it's pretty clear that we need a change, not just in our leadership or in the Iraq war, but in the direction we've been headed. I sincerely believe that John Edwards is the person who can change that direction. I also believe that he stands a more realistic chance of winning than Hillary or Obama; they'll do an excellent job of exciting and mobilizing the base, but in a general election, I am dubious as to their ability to attract enough voters from the middle, let alone the right, to win it.
The following is from Edwards's website, www.johnedwards.com.
This campaign is about each of us taking responsibility for our country's future -- and ensuring America’s greatness in the 21st century.
It is a campaign not just about what we can do in the White House -- but what we can do on the way.
We all must take responsibility and take action now to:
Provide moral leadership in the world
Strengthen our middle class and end poverty
Guarantee universal health care for every American
Lead the fight against global warming
Get America and other countries off our addiction to oil
If we want to live in a moral and just America tomorrow, we cannot wait until the next President is elected to begin to take action.
