The men are all scared of Hilary because they know she's got a brain and they know that she knows how to use it extremely well. And do not kid yourselves, those men do not want to see a woman beat them. Thus, it's going to get ugly and I hope the men make complete asses of themselves.
I sincerely hope Hilary wins because there are quite a few male derrieres in Washington which need a good swift kick from a strong woan like Hilary Clinton. Go Hilary, go, and clean house and deflate those horrid male egos. We so desperately need a change in Washington and Hilary will be like a breathe of fresh air. I am so tired of the little boy's club mentality.

Mr Edwards Is Clearly Not What We Need He Talks Now About The Military Coming Home Which Shows His Inexperience If We Bring Home All The Troops The War Is Iraq Will Spread.. And All Our Soliders Death Will Be in Vain,,What Is Next Are You Going To Iran And Share A Cup Of Coffee With That President

The Edwards (John & Elizabeth) are phonies...they are rich spoiled attorneys....

I personal like Edwards, we get Clinton we are getting same oh same oh she and the other running are apart of the troule in Washington she vote for this Iarq war. Edwards if for the small people and I am one of them 74 trying to live on social security since lossing my husband and his income. God help us if the NEWS medi doesn't start paying more to whats is really going on instand of having for the very first time a woman and a black man. John has some great idea and I believe him to very honest, can't say the same for Clinton.

Say it like it is Nina!

This little banty rooster is making me so tired.
Hillary for President!!

Cody, you are right. Edwards plays unsportmanship game. He and Obama tried to destroy Hillary, it hurts his party, I hope Democrats kick them out from the Party. Both committed political suicide campaign.

Hey Edwards, must be real tough knowing that your butt is getting kicked by a woman. Shows me that your testicles are really ovaries.

DEAD RIGHT ON

clinton a flip flopper and Obama has better foresight and understanding then clinton

If clinton is on the ticket for general election im voting for republican

I'd personally like to know what John Edwards wants to do about illegal immigrants with driver licenses. Notice in the debate how he didn't even answer the question when it was posed to the rest of the candidates. I don't see why I should listen to a man bring down a candidate for her "double talk" answer when he won't even give an answer.

I don't see why he's tauting this as a victory over Clinton. Frankly, it's just a shameless attack, and I expected better from Edwards.

First I do agree this country is more interested in electing a female President than the right choice. Hillary is way out front right now and the other candidates have got to make people listen so more power to them, however they do this. I see Edwards bringing up very valid points as we DO NOT need another Clinton years rerun. I hope people have enough sense to say they are tired of the same old business as that is what Hillary is going to give us a lot of if we go back to Clinton years. Seems I recall the first Clinton signing NAFTA under Republican pressure and destroying millions of jobs here and starting an exodus that continues today as we get the low pay new service jobs to replace them under the current Republican system. Can't wait to see what Hillary does with the illegal population and amnesty, as above taxes to help bring your wages down. Both parties are corrupted and we new some new blood, even within these parties. Rudy for President, oh please give me a break. Do vote so you have the right to complain as that is the first thing I ask someone when they complain about policies in this country. Do you vote?. Oh, last I checked the current moron in the Whitehouse was first elected without the popular vote majority because we have the electoral college that still has not been abolished.

did any of you notice how edwards blew off the question about his money coming from trial lawyers? Or the hint about his sudden conversion to public financing? The man is as big a hypocrite as there is in this race. Obama's not much better. 2 days after criticizing Hillary for playing the gender card he was down south playing the race card and he even whipped out his southern drawl for the occasion.

John Edwards sounds more and more like a loser everyday. We know you don't want Hillary to Be President, John. That's obvious. How about telling us what you would do differently?

I'm sick of all the negativity and Clinton bashing, and I didn't even like Bill. But the desperation of their opponents is simply pathetic. They are making my decision a lot easier.

John Edwards is an idiot. There was no double talk at the end of the debate: quite simply, Hillary's answer was clear and concrete. The question was along the lines of 'do you support illegal aliens having a drivers license like they recently passed in your state,' and she responded by saying that she doesn't support it, but she understands why the governor did it and then continued to say that the federal government isn't doing anything right now to stop illegal immigration so the state governments are trying to do what they can to document them. She DISAGREED and then reasoned, plain and simple. She made her point as clear as day, and anyone who didn't pick that up needs to clean out their ears.

The media didn't filter Edwards' message in the last debate. If he had anything to say about what he would do for the country it sure didn't come out. The only thing that came out were attacks on Hillary. I think the media is representing his message fairly: Negative, negative, negative.

He is an ambulance chaser with a penchant for $ 400 haircuts.

Enough said.

It is sign of desperation-Ed is phony, greedy for power, two times loser, and manipulative-he put his ill cancered wife on the trail to run his campaign. Ed made profits from Katrina disaster. He is cynical, and cannot be trusted. He lost twice in 2004-the primary and the general. I will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER VOTE FOR THIS MAN-I WILL STAY HOME IF HE IS NOMINATED, WHICH I HIGHLY SUSPECT.

You tell 'em Mr. Edwards. But Hillarys double talk is better than your triple talk. Can you wag that finger 99 times in a row ?

Check out some of the already dirty fliers and releases the GOP is running after Clinton's comments on illegal immigrants.

I think it's funny how people get on edwards for telling the truth about hillary. She is not hollier than thou you know, and she is not bill clinton people need to realize that. She voted for the iraq war and voted on the iran bill, but she says she is for us getting out of wars and bringing troops home.sounds like a double standard to me hillary is going to be eaten alive by the republicans if she gets the nomination she waffles too much and the republicans will notice, and call her on it. That is the same tactic they used on kerry for his support of the iraq war and look at what it did to his campaign. Obama is the only one that voted against the iraq war and the iran vote so the republicans cannot hit him on that.

John,

Remember Gephart and Dean. This will backfire on you in Iowa. Differing on issues is o.k., but calling Senator Clinton a liar is too much.

You are making me like her more and more.

Hillary has only given "polished" debates before because Tuesday was the first time she's been called on her bull-oney. Let's have a debate a day for the next 90-some-odd days and with each one we'll start to see the real Hillary. The waffler, the laser glare, the obfuscator, etc. Had Obama started deconstructing her so adeptly as he did Tuesday back in the spring he'd be the one up by 20 points..well, he'd still be down by 20 in the Clinton News Network/Vinod Gupta poll, but all the other reputable polls would have him in the lead.

JOhn Edwards says he is the champion of the poor, but he live lavishly in a very big house, and the firm he associated with vacated some poor tenants.

He double talks himself. John Kerry said he made a mistake picking Ewdards as a running mate in 2004, and the dem party made a mistake taking him Edwards a member.

John Edwards is absolutely, positively, exactly RIGHT about this. Keep speaking TRUTH to power...America, it is long past time for us to WAKE UP and get off the Bush/Clinton merry-go-round. You GO, Senator Edwards.

GO JOHN GO!!!

Wow, what a shameless thread full of Republicans and Clinton-lovers.

That wasn't a debate,that was a political gangbang.
The photo depicts Edwards telling everyone else that he's first.

Hillary has been very outspoken for years that she regretted her vote on the war in Iraq.Edwards seems to think if he says something often enough that makes it true.He also claimed to be the first candidate with a healthcare plan when Hillary tried to get one done years ago.It was guys like Edwards that didn't let it get done then.At least she had the guts to try.

This is just a lawyer double talking about double talking.

"I can't wait to see tens of millions or Americans regretting their votes for Clinton,"

You are one sick person. What kind of an AMERICAN would admit to WISHING for disaster?
An AMERICAN, like say John Wayne, when confronted with Kennedy's win in 1960, said, "He's not my choice, but I'll do everything I can to support him now that he's President.". Democrats supported Bush after 9/11 until he betrayed their (and the rest of the country's) trust in so many ways.

Wishing for disaster in our nation, no matter WHO is president is just plain sick.

PEOPLE, so many times under articles on Edwards (and sometimes Obama, though, I think most people realize, Obama is NOT making personal attacks AT ALL and is running a substantive campaign) people think that Edwards only talks negative about Clinton and never puts forth a substantive stance on any issue–wrong, the media (esp. CNN) just reports the stuff that seems divisive and loves to love, sympathize, and make-the-victim-of Hillary.

I'm not even anti-Hillary, but I can see the clear Hillove that the media blasts at us.

Admittedly, i support John Edwards.
I do not like Hillary.

Some have said here (and its my opinion, too) that if Hillary if is the Democratic nominee, she will lose.

Others have stated that if Edwards is the nominee they will vote Republican.

Who is the person that can win running on the Democratic ticket?
I honestly don't believe that Hillary can win.
I was surprised by the anti Edwards sentiment.

Do people think Obama, Bill Richardson, or Joe Biden can win?

Amen, Colony 14 ... This woman is as DISHONEST as it gets ... (sorta' like hubby, huh?) Every time that I see this woman speak (and I mean over the last 15 years)I can see the dishonesty in her eyes. It's SOOO obvious. If you can't see it you're easily fooled.

Edwards does talk about what he’s going to do as president-it just doesn’t make it on to the CNN ticker, or other media for that mater.
Remember, everything edited or summarized by the media is flittered. CNN and the other organizations decide what they’re going to show us. That’s not to say CNN has some super-evil conspiracy to control the world, but rather we, as consumers, are responsible for remembering how we are get our information. CNN ticker reports sound bits, which they believe are interesting.
If you want to be fair to Edwards, watch his debate performance on youtube and read his policies on his website and factcheck.org. Personally, I don’t like him or his policies, but please him the respect of reading his policies before condemning him.

Edwards is right, Clinton has been conditioned by the "old guard" in Washington and will keep doing what many in the House & Senate want. the problem with that, is the number of representatives that support war is still at a dangerous level. We need a fresh face. Keeping race and gender out of the picture is impossible when you have a young black male and a female that has been in the middle of much controversy already. Edwards will emerge victorious because he is what most people are comfortable with when it comes to appearance, and he has a strong message that is anti Washington business as usual.

I'd take Edwards over Hillary any day. No signs of antisemitism from him!

All of the candidates on both sides seem to be flip-flopping. This has voters quite confused and all we want is a good honest president. Can we please have one, I think we deserve one.

Edwards is the best candidate for president. His heart and mind are in the right place. Unlike Clinton, whose ego is huge, Edwards will do what is best for all the people of this country. If Clinton wins the nomination, then the Republicans will be in the White House for another 4 years! I am a lifelong democrat and firmly believe if Clinton becomes the democratic nominee, the republicans will win. I don't want to see that happen. Edwards can win the White House. Alot can change between now and the primaries. Just watch!

Hillary Rodham Clinton has never given a straight answer to a question in her life, and suddenly people are surprised? I can't wait to see how she sweats or wilts when the questions really get tough, if anyone in the media has the spine to ask them.

As for me, I will soon be retiring to another country, and will be watching the 2008 campaign (and my wallet) from a safe distance. I can't wait to see tens of millions or Americans regretting their votes for Clinton, after she raises their taxes, screws up the economy, causes a major recession, and pretty much acts dumbfounded when Iran blockades the Strait of Hormuz and adds another $100 to each barrel of oil.

And I promise to say I told you so...

The candidate who isn't trustworthy in this election is Edwards, the simpering wuss.

Go Home Edwards you might as well be a REPUBLICAN!

I have to wonder if the supporters for Hillary are simply people who want to elect a woman President no matter who she is or if you actually think that Bill is gonna have some pull. He might, but not much. Edwards is the ONLY candidate that actually has a real plan to make some changes around here. Smart money is on Edwards. Dumb money on Hillary. Obama is somewhere in between. Hillary's a typical politician... not to say that Edwards isn't a politician, he's just different then what we've seen in some time. Hillary is more of the same...blah, blah, blah, accomplish nothing, etc. etc. etc. Lastly, if you're worried about Dems winning and that's your bottom line, Hillary isn't going to win in the South in the general election. Maybe Arkansas but that's about it. You put Edwards up against Rudi, you got President Edwards.

The Issues John, The Issues, all you do is trash Hillary, not what we need in a president. All your time is spent finding ways to discredit her instead of telling us what you will do specifically. She doesn't have the market on double talk now does she John.

It is irrelevant if Hillary can be trusted because she can't be elected by a majority of the popular vote, and her atypically unpolished performance at the recent debate will not help her.

Okay, I don't know which is the worse of these two, but I like watching them fight over who is the biggest moron.

I agree. John Edwards is a big phoney. He has for some time come across to me as someone who is just desperate to become President. Talk about double talk. He states that he won't attack fellow Democrats and then he does. What a loser. The more I hear and see this guy the more and more I dislike him.

John Edwards likes to be altruistic about the New Orleans issue. He loves to brag how he brought volunteers to help. But he used this as his platform to announce his candidacy. So basically he is pandering to the victims the same way Bush did to evangelical voters. John Edwards is too weak to be a strong leader and if he is my parties nominee I will be voting Republican.

Cody, I agree..

Why doesnt he talk about what he will do as president versus talking bad about Hillary...

He is not helping the party and is only thinking of himself.

Next thing you know he will run as an independent with Obama..

Absolutley selfish!

Cody in Iowa,

Edwards has already apologized for his mistake with Iraq. Other candidates (HRC) have not. Unless I'm missing something, I think you are mistaken regarding the Bankruptcy Bill. That happened in 2005 and Edwards retired from the senate in 2004. Also, can you please describe how he has directly hurt the families of New Orleans. It sure seems like he is one of the only ones that is trying to draw attention to their plight to try to get something done about it.

"Just over an hour ago, Hillary Clinton claimed the endorsement of an influential New Hampshire politician who was one of John Edwards’ top supporters in the state in 2004.

Lou D’Allesandro, a well-liked state senator from Manchester and a fixture in the city’s political and cultural life, gave Clinton his blessing at a forum for disabled voters in his hometown this morning."
“At the debate, Hillary demonstrated that she is the only candidate with a strong, positive message,” D’Allesandro said. “I believe she can deliver the real change our country needs.”

More fallout from Edwards/Trippi's brilliant strategy
The ship be sinkin'

John Edwards is grasping for straws. His campaign is dying and he desperately is looking for something – anything to breath new life into his campaign.

Attacking other democrats is NOT the answer, John. You're worse than the Republicans – as we EXPECT their assault. Yours is called "back stabbing".

Et Tu' Brute'?

Van

Hillary could run down the street with a lamp shade on her head and nobody would care. For some reason, everyone thinks that Hillary is Bill Clinton, and will gobble her up to get back to the good old days. Wake up people! Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, ...

Look up Hillary in your reserch and it means while one one side of the hill it is yes I am for it and while on the other side of the hill I am against it.

Bottom line is if you don't stand for something you don't stand for anything.
Be nice if she could give a straight andswer to questions presented to her and not play both sides of the HILL/

Then and only then could we see what she all about. Hope she can come straight forward in her campain so as one can tell just what she stands for.

Neither Edwards or Clinton is qualified to be President.

As he sinks below 10% in SC, Edwards continues to allow the genius of Joe Trippi to do for him what he did for Howard Dean…
"Clinton, of New York, leads U.S. Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois by 33 percent to 22.7 percent among registered voters who say they are likely to cast a ballot in the state's Democratic primary, according to the poll, released Thursday.

Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, who won the 2004 South Carolina primary, has slid into single digits at 9.6 percent."

Not all questions can be answered by Yes or No, especially in a debate when people meet to talk not to make decisions. Your behaviour was shameful, but certainly Mr. Edwards, we would love if you were so aggressive in 2004!

and he's also right she should be held to the same standards as the rest of the field ,everbody seems to be partial to the clintons and i like her myself but i do see double standards

John Edwards is a phony and he is just desperate. He only has a campaign presence worthy of mentioning here in Iowa. He lost an election for us already. He COSPONSORED the Bankruptcy bill and the Iraq war resolution. He has hurt the families of New Orleans. He is a lawyer good at making speeches but that's about it.

I don't think he can win. He's already proven that he can't put any Southern states into play in the general election so what's the point in giving him the nod. Better to choose Clinton to put Iowa, Ohio, and New Mexico and maybe even Louisiana into play.
