My dear democrate please i beg of you not to waste your votes on this dude he is part of the reason Bush is in office,John we like you but you are a weak candidate please go home

John Edwards has the vision and plan to fight the special corporate interests that have a stranglehold on this country.

A vote for John Edwards is a vote to take back this country for the middle class!

All of the responders appear to be about 10-12 years old…
Do any of you have any REAL problem with John Edwards?
I personally support him as a real populist & a person who cares about the union members & middle class citizens of the US of A. His own money allows him to be a non- corporate voice, and he actually believes in the Constitution, non-degraded.
The media has control of everything in this election…don't be hypnotized.
Go Edwards!

Just ignore the idiots…Stupid people voting for stupid things gave us stupid Bush. You'd think America would learn.

Keep doing what you're doing, John Edwards…All the way to OUR White House!!!

GO JOHN GO!!!

I feel kind of bad for Edwards. Though he is a trial lawyer, which I find distasteful, he is obviously a very bright man.

I do think he could be the one (real) bipartisan candidate (not a lip synching one like Obama), but it appears history won't give him a second chance.

If he does lose in Iowa, I hope at least he will go on to continued prosperity and a good life with wife and children.

Given that the latest poll from Iowa released this morning has Edwards at 19%, I would not boast to much if I were him.

Two things:

1. That Pew poll was in the field for 6 weeks(!), and has a margin of error of 6%. I wouldn't say it's very indicative of the current state of play in Iowa.

2. It doesn't measure second choice preference, which is key in Iowa. If a candidate doesn't have 15% support at his caucus location, his/her supporters have to choose someone else. Most Iowa polls where second choice preference is questioned show Edwards with a big lead as a back-up choice.

Getting those 2nd-choice votes from the "non-viable" candidates will require a good field team, which Edwards recognizes. He's talking up his team, much of which he began building for the 2004 caucuses, and he's trying to boost their morale heading into the final, crucial weeks of the Iowa process.

If you're going to put your faith in pols, trust the Des Moines Register - they got it right picking Kerry and Edwards in 2004, when most national pollsters were picking Dean (who was my guy at the time).

Although I support Obama, Edwards is clearly well organized and has solid support. He will likely finish first or second. The posts here writing him off are way off base.

Clinton has peaked in Iowa because people are starting to see what the candidates really stand for and who they are. Clinton may not slide too much, but she isn't going to gain. And she is helping Obama with her obvious falsehoods. This is really good, because we can now see that since Obama can stand up to Clinton and the politics she learned from Karl Rove, the republicans will be a piece of cake. She's making the case for Obama very well.

Weenie Man. Weenie Man. Does whatever a weenie can….(sung to the tune of Spider Man)

While not beginning to become rigored like Mr. Kucinich, you can hear the final gasps of a dying cause.

Good for him. If he doesn't win in Iowa like he said and drop out the race will endorse Obama and he will be a good vp.

There is one other huge difference between this primary and the last: Edwards is now a douche bag.
