She as ALL the other cndidates numbers rise and fall, but when we can't tell the whole truth about ALL the candidates, then it's called "Let us change the perception" and not tell all the story. I count o the intellegence of the American people to see what the truth is and news, all news enjoys kicking the woman. Are we still in the 50s Come on, Hillary is srong. If I was attacked by republicans as much as she has been, I'm not certain I would have her courage to forge on, but she does. Polls are just that, POLLS! It's the vote which counts. Howard Dean didn't fall because he wasn't capable, he fell because the media made a laughing stock out of him because of his "sream". I wish people would be honest and deliver the truth.

Where’s the ridicule media? DISGUSTING! What a nasty sick group at oprhabama camp! That's what you're voting for when you support the likes of him.

Obama appears to be in line for her throne. Why isn't John Edwards number 2? This man (Mr. Obama)--poll conscious and driven by focus group popularity points--his message is all over the place! Just read his senate records and his stump speeches! He is so politically correct he makes me itch!! He (Mr. Obama) is not the man to represent ME in Washington! He inspires no confidence in me! He does not possess the ability or the will to successfully negotiate or block the massive efforts from the GOP, special interests, major corporations, and the military defense industries--which will ensue as he attempts to change the paradigm in Washington. We all know, any efforts to change executive orders or laws...tilted to benefit those entities (wealthy executives, board members, and corporations, investment consortiums)--will be met with massive attacks, road blocks, and retaliation. Edwards is the only one who has the passion, drive and will to make meaningful change--if it is even possible. He's got no baggage. His honesty, integrity, and moral character are above reproach. He has been on message as a proponent and catalyst for change--unwaiveringly since 2000. His determination to battle for justice and equality in the marketplace for the wages and healthcare rights of all Americans--is inspiring to all working class Americans, including middle management professionals who see their industries vanishing over seas as their wealth potential and benefits decline. His mission and desire--is a message that truly crosses party-lines...because our future and our families are at stake. Obama is great man--but he is not great enough for this task. There are no GOP candidates who possess his passion, nor his eloquence on the issues. We need someone with a different paradigm--to really change the paradigm in Washington...and allow average American voices to be heard--and listened to. Please take another look at John Edwards. This may be our last hope to undo the decades of negligence, cronyism, and lassitude in Washington. Hillary is sinking!! Obama appears to be in line for her throne. Why isn't John Edwards number 2?

This man (Mr. Obama)–poll conscious and driven by focus group popularity points–his message is all over the place! Just read his senate records and his stump speeches! He is so politically correct he makes me itch!!

He (Mr. Obama) is not the man to represent ME in Washington!

He inspires no confidence in me! He does not possess the ability or the will to successfully negotiate or block the massive efforts from the GOP, special interests, major corporations, and the military defense industries–which will ensue as he attempts to change the paradigm in Washington. We all know, any efforts to change executive orders or laws...tilted to benefit those entities (wealthy executives, board members, and corporations, investment consortiums)–will be met with massive attacks, road blocks, and retaliation.

Edwards is the only one who has the passion, drive and will to make meaningful change–if it is even possible. He's got no baggage. His honesty, integrity, and moral character are above reproach. He has been on message as a proponent and catalyst for change–unwaiveringly since 2000. His determination to battle for justice and equality in the marketplace for the wages and healthcare rights of all Americans–is inspiring to all working class Americans, including middle management professionals who see their industries vanishing over seas as their wealth potential and benefits decline. His mission and desire–is a message that truly crosses party-lines...because our future and our families are at stake.

Obama is great man–but he is not great enough for this task. There are no GOP candidates who possess his passion, nor his eloquence on the issues. We need someone with a different paradigm–to really change the paradigm in Washington...and allow average American voices to be heard–and listened to.

Please take another look at John Edwards. This may be our last hope to undo the decades of negligence, cronyism, and lassitude in Washington.
