However, Roger continued to court legal trouble. On February 17, 2001, he was arrested and charged with two counts of drunken driving and one for disturbing the peace. In a deal that spared him jail time, Roger Clinton pleaded guilty to a non-alcohol-related charge of reckless driving.

SORRY PEOPLE EDWARDS IS NOT THE ONE AND I LIKE EDWARDS BUT HE IS LACKING IN MANY AREAS. PRESENTATION, KNOWLEDGE, REASON, HE SOUNDS LIKE SOUNDING BRASS. IT IS NOT GOING TO WORK FOR HIM, I AM SO SORRY FOR ALL THE EDWARDS SUPPORTERS.

THE REPUBLICANS WILL EAT HIM ALIVE!

Do any of the folks making all these pro demodummy comments here, realize that the Democrat Party has been HiJacked by pro Communists, Socialists, and the Rich and Elite?....Wow have they got you all really "Boon Swaggled" ! Since when has any democrat ever gotten the Poor, the Downtrodden, or the Sick out of their own misery??....NEVER. And its not going to CHANGE either.....

Ann Coulter was right with the title of her new book, "If Democrats Had any Brains, They Would Be Republicans"...AMEN.

We cannot possibly screw this up AGAIN...Please, please, please...Take a look at johnedwards.com...You'll see what many others have seen for some time.

A vote for John Edwards is a vote for yourself.

GO JOHN GO!!!!!!

"Why is the president of the United States not saying to the American people, to local communities, buy local? It is good for the local economy, it is good for farmers. It is good on the issue of global warming, because everything that comes from China carries an enormous carbon footprint with it."

He sees how the issues of trade, climate chance, fair economic opportunity, and perserving family farms all relate. And he advocates a build from the bottom up approach as opposed to the failed trickle down policies we have been following.

Our problems aren't going to be solved piecemeal. They can be solved with a decisive, practical, willing-to-talk-to-us leader, John Edwards.

When the people who are losing ground financially in this country, and that is the majority of middle class families in this country, they know that what he says is true.

If enough people hear his message he will win the nomination. There are many that do not want him to be heard because he is a threat to them.

Treating this upcoming election and the important decision that we have to make as a country as if it were a popularity contest, or battle of the bands rock star extravaganza is a travesty.

I agree with kenshin above me. Hillary doesn't beat out all the republican candidates one on one. You can't pretend that some republican candidates don't exist and then say Hillary beats all the republicans. John Edwards is the ONLY democratic candidate that beats ALL the republicans in the polls. Yet so far we democrats are not paying attention.

Wake up America! do you want to lose this election to the same stuff again? Obama will make a great VP, Hillary can continue to be a great senator.

Edwards Obama 2008!

All the while, John Edwards works twice as hard to reach voters in small towns across SC who have witnessed firsthand the devastation to their lives of a failing economy, rising healthcare costs, jobs being shipped overseas as well as a range of other issues that neither media pundits or Washington insiders quite “get.” People really need to do their homework and not allow themselves to be swayed by the glitz of the other candidates who are spending multi-millions of dollars to convince voters of a falsehood. John Edwards has opted to receive public financing, why has Senators Obama and Clinton not done the same? They both say they support public financing… because you see, there’s “talking the talk” and then there’s “walking the walk.”

Look at the candidates records, who was the only candidate willing to bring poverty in to the national debate? Which candidate has never taken lobbyist money? That’s right on both counts, John Edwards. America needs to wake up and see what's going on here. Why does the corporately owned media refuse to give John Edwards virtually no airtime while all other candidates, including the entire field of Republican candidates, receive an abundance of coverage every single day? Think about it, which of the Democratic candidates has promised to end the stranglehold that corporate lobbyists have on our government and our democracy? Polls show that John Edwards beats every single Republican candidates running, the same cannot be said for Senators Obama and Clinton. So, tell us again mainstream media and DNC insiders, why is John Edward’s candidacy for President of the United States not viable?

ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION??? MCCAIN KICKS HER BEHIND!!! not even close!

edwards beats them all with the best margin. has been for MONTHS!!!

but i'm not looking for electability, i'm looking for the BEST president, and that will be

JOHN EDWARDS!

first on health care (still the best plan folks...)
first on global warming
no new nuclear power
no lobbyists in the white house (all 36,000 of them in DC, and their $5.1 billion dollars they spent last congress)
first on poverty
FOLLOW THE LEADER!

I mean.. think about it..

On one hand, you have a candidate that has had more ethical questions against her than any other democrat on earth, and you have another candidate whose level of experience is less....LESS... than 1/3 of h is first six year term in the United States Senate, and instead of trying to put forth his own proposals, he has to copy cat everything Edwards has proposed.

But Edwards, he is different.. He understands these problems,,, he understands what our nation is going through... and yet he puts it in a way that every democrat understands. and he is REAL!!!

I know.. I have met John Edwards, and his lovely wife Elizabeth.. These are two wonderful people who would be outstanding in the White House..

C'mon CNN– wake up.. Give Edwards a chance.. and that also.. goes for the country as well.

People need to observe the fact that while the other candidates have gone off track to competed in the ‘war of the words’, John Edwards has stayed on message and has continued to speak with the people of this country and hear our voices. He’s been out here discussing the issues that America wants to hear about rather than becoming involved in status quo politics of “He said, She said” rhetoric. He shows a dogged dedication to this country and our needs and will not allow himself to be distracted. That is the kind of person I want to see in our White House!

John Edwards is a truth teller in the style of 'Give 'em hell Harry Truman', and that does not always make one popular with a public that would rather hear about Britney Spears on the evening news than how to sufficiently deal with our country's economic crisis. However, his innovative ideas have formed the dialogue of this election on all the major issues time and again. Why? Because John Edwards "gets it" and he's prepared to do what needs to be done.

Vote Edwards '08

if still don't know why and you want to know why.......www.johnedwards.com/issues

CNN, you are hilarious calling these "contrast ads" after calling the republicans "negative ads"....you just like to keep things going and you think you can influence the elections.

You're probably right, most Americans are lazy and half stupid for not studying the candidates and their positions. Instead you are asking if they are too good looking......

If Hillary gets the nomination, the men will polarize and keep her from getting in office, don't kid yourselves...she is hated by men.

If Obama gets the nomination you will have a fight on your hands, as there are many republicans who like him, and he may end up being the first black president.

If Edwards wins, he will be obliterated by the republicans, they see him as the weakest.

Just some insiders comments.

"Hillary Clinton has the strength and the experience to lead our nation starting from day one. As someone who has spent a lifetime working very hard to improve the lives of working families, I applaud Hillary’s commitment to create quality and affordable healthcare and to create fair wages for every American," said Richard Chavez. "I have no doubt that as President she will continue to fight tirelessly for all the underserved."

Richard Chavez worked with his brother Cesar Chavez for over twenty years until Cesar’s death in 1993. Since then, Richard has carried on with his brother’s lifetime commitment, touring the country and speaking about Cesar’s life. He continues to fight for all that Cesar stood for: fair wages, healthcare, pension benefits and most importantly basic human living conditions for farm workers across of the United States.

Gender is the big issue in this election! Misogyny/sexism is a major evil in the USA and all over the world. It transcends ethnicity!

The dehumanizing of women that we allow produces violence – prostitution, savage beating, murder, rape, pornography, sex trade/sex slaves, ridicule of young women/exposure…, and all of this is covered by the media – sometimes obsessively, sometimes as humor and often without human respect.

If you want real change – healing, unity, peace…, get out of the silly attack mode and challenge the real issues – make a difference – not just a noise!

Face it CNN!

Bill Clinton's statements and remarks should be taken as void and lack of all credibility and truth.

His defamatory remarks and related actions toward Senator Obama and his campaign must be taken from a proven 'liar' and 'deceptionist' as he proved himself by his own answers and statements when pulic inquiry and exposed re his extra marital sex affairs while holding position of the Nation's highest public office as president of the United States of America and thereto related statements upon public inquiry and exposure.

If only he got half the coverage Clinton and Obama are getting, he'd be leading.

" I sure hope as a Democrat for 50 years I am not put in a position to have to vote Republican, but I will if Hillary is the Democrats choice. This is a defineing moment in our history and in spite of the pundits it is not about sex or race, but who can best lead this country."

Lloyd – Go ahead and stomp your feet and moan and carry on if Hillary gets the nomination. But please stay out of the voting booth. Voting against your principals for spite is something a 6 yeard old would do, not something a grown man should do. If you want to hate Hillary go ahead and hate her. But to vote republican after 50 years just shows you are voting against you beliefs and principals for spite. With that lack of maturity, do you really need to voting at all?

Obama team should stop slinging mud and try a win the democratic nomination by focusing on the economy and housing crisis. The bigger question on the table is what you are going to do for Middle Income families so that we can feed our families and buy gasoline.

America deserves a president who will make us proud again.

America deserves President John Edwards!!!

Go get 'em, John!!!

Most of the debate and vote swaying is being done over the internet.

Only the Old Guys were shocked when Edwards beat Hillary in Iowa.

Everybody in the blogosphere could already see it coming.

Too bad the all 88 people in NH...don't have internet access.

Wake up America!

Uh, Stu, John Edwards was running for President four years ago and ended up becoming Kerry's running mate.

Two weeks ago CNN’s big story was ‘Change’, last week ‘Economy’, this week ‘Race’. By November they might have a workable sentence.
