Way to go John! Keep up the good work and you will sweep from the great midwest to the rest of the country!! People are now realizing you are the most electable!

Except that Jesus would not be a member of today's union, for obvious corruption reasons..

Well, union "corruption" is hardly as widespread as anti-worker parrots would have you believe.

I've never been a big fan of speculation, especially on the deeds of biblical figures. I would suspect, however, that Jesus would in fact join a union, especially a corrupt one. After all, he spent much of His time among us with the sinners, not the saved.

Edwards campaign is in worse shape than McCain's….Maybe Elizabeth Edwards can gain momentum by running with Elizabeth Dole…at least they would both represent the best each marriage had to offer US Politics…

Nor would Jesus turn a blind eye to abortion while saying he was against it at the same time..

Edwards is in good company… Jesus was a carpenter! –Ron, TX

This crushes my theory about it taking studs to build a house..

Bit by bit, one at a time…Just keep stepping UP for what's right, John Edwards. Keep going until you (and Elizabeth) reach OUR White House!!!!

GO JOHN GO!

Some (but not all) unions are corrupt, agenda-driven and greedy. They are the reason the auto industry and now the medical field are suffering and failing.

So John Edwards is for enforcing our borders? I must have missed that.

Carpenters are one of the many professions hardest hit by the illegal immigrants who supposedly only do jobs that most Americans won't do.

Thank goodness
This is great news! The hard working men know who will make a difference in their life.
Edwards 08 for change (that's needed)

Indeed, this is for John or for Elizabeth?

I wonder if Senator Edwards knows that the Carpenters Union is not affiliated with the AFL-CIO. In fact, in Mass., the Carpenters Union is often at odds with other Unions which the Senator is courting. The Carpenters Union has pulled out of the Mass. State Building Trades Council a few years back. They are also out of the Boston Building Trades. In fact, a lot of Union Tradesman consider the Carpenters non-union workers.
Carpenters President Douglas McCarron has led the UBC down a slippery slope for his own reasons. It is a shame to me , because as a Union Painter and son of a 40 year Union Carpenter, my best friends are still Union Carpenters who I do not want to compete against but my family comes first.
Senator Edwards should consider his endorsements more carefully if he wants the Unions in Mass. to support him.

Edwards is on his way to victory!!!!

EDWARDS 08!

I wonder if that Obama guy has gotten any endorsements lately. Like maybe from Zbigniew Brzezinski or Douglas Wilder or the only Iraq vet in Congress.

Nothing could be more bogus than the John Edwards ploy of "One America". What a foolish premise - and a dangerous one: what makes this country great is that we AREN'T a nation of one - we are actually a nation of over three-hundred million, and with just as many opinions. We are proudly American because we like differences. There are reasons people have different incomes, and no one should be proposing a solution to change that because it will always happen. As true as bad luck and laziness, there will always be a degree of poverty. A wealthy , pompous, delusional white southern lawyer won't change it. There are better policies to focus on than false hopes, John.

Unions continue to try and ruin what is supposed to be an ambitious, go-get-em capitalistic society of ours In the meantime, hopeful Democratic presidential candidates cozy up in order to milk their votes and get media exposure for being attentive to working class needs.

Good. Edwards really would make a fine President. I honestly believe he would follow his principles and look out for the common man.

However, I still believe an Obama/Edwards ticket would be even more unbeatable.

Wonder if the Carpenters Union could build John a set of balls to go with that endorsement?

Edwards is in good company… Jesus was a carpenter!

Just as the UTU nod is irrelevant for HRC, so is this one because unions are Industrial Revolution dinosaurs, but at least the joiners have picked an electable candidate.
