Ok...be honest...how many of you have spend too much on something - shoes, golf clubs...we all do at times. Give it up...it was a great video clip.

Those American leaders who have truly made a difference in the standard of living for all have often been personally wealthy. (Surely even Republicans can understand who Roosevelt was and what he did?) The point of caring about poverty is not to live in poverty yourself, but to help lift others so that they don't have to live in poverty.

I lived in Robbins, North Carolina, during part of the 1970s. John Edwards is exactly who he says he is and comes from exactly where he says he came from. Maybe the fact that he improved his own station in life so dramatically bodes well for his abilities in general and specifically for his ability to help do the same for others?

Oh yeah, the guy has always had great hair.

I think it is interesting that people always talk about Edwards' $400 haircut, but they fail to point out that regardless of how much money Edwards spends personally, he is the most dedicated of all the candidates to fighting poverty in the United States.
