The democrats values most closely resemble southern values Mrs. Edwards?
High democrat-tax policies increase the need for family child care and, correspondingly, child care credits, democrat "hate speech" laws aim to try and prohibit speech that preserves "traditional" family (southern) values - even in churches, socialized medicine is a "small community" issue only in that people in small communities will see even more taxation, and the democrats' "moral" platform is out of line with that of most southerners - especially the African American community. No wonder democrats don't bother with southern states.

We see how Edwards helped with the South in 2004. The same thing goes for his homestate of South Carolina in this primary. There is no crossover appeal with Edwards. Edwards is old news, and his wife needs to stop fighting his battles.
Obama has already talked about campaigning in Southern states, the number of possible swing states increases when he is the nominee because of an increased black voter turnout.

Hillary already campaigned in Arkansas, S.C. etc. She is WRONG.

As a southern "moderate"-ish Republican, I will say that Edwards could garner a lot of support by spending time in the southern states. He would be better received than his extremist party-mates. For the sake of productive politics, I would rather see Edwards on the Democratic ticket. I think that this man has the best chance of generating intelligent political discussion and garnering the attention of latent voters which, (however they decide to vote) is healthy for the American system of Democracy.

John is doing a good job in his territory,I wouldn't spoil that progress by sending any distracting influences to that part of the country.

I barely finished reading the headline when I sighed…all I had to read was the first two words, "Elizabeth Edwards."

Mrs. Edwards often has good things to say, but she makes headlines too often.

It's ironic, though, to see Hillary Clinton supporters attack Mrs. Edwards. After all, is was Hillary Clinton who mocked a popular country singer and insulted housewives everywhere in 1992.

I think the always-smiling drum-playing Tipper Gore struck the perfect tone for a candidate's wife.
