What's wrong with Edwards?
« on: February 19, 2004, 06:22:14 AM »
My impression of the other players in the Democrat race is bad - Kerry seems
like an insincere walking/talking noodle to me, Clark a misguided and
self-absorbed craver of power, Dean a well-intentioned buffoon.

But I can't see a damn thing wrong with Edwards. As a matter of fact, I like
most of what I have seen. I think we'd be losing if any of the above managed
to oust Shrub, but I don't see a reason to feel that way where Edwards is
concerned.

What am I missing?

Yes, he's a Dem I could vote for. His trouble is lack of exposure. If Kerry grants him a series of debates, the rest of the Democrats may see this in time.

He's way more electable than Kerry, but only because he is smooth.  He is being financed by Big Lawyer, Inc.  That's one thing wrong with him.

Yeah, but I try hard to avoid flaunting the inherent superiority associated with that fact ;)

I think I like Edwards too, but thats prolly cuz I dont know much about him yet except that I dont like his economic stance, manufacturing is gone from this country because of valid reasons and you wont bing it back succesfully out of political motivatuions or resinding of NAFTA or whatnot..

He is relatively young though, and I do feel he will be president one day..

Edwards does not lie and say he can bring jobs back all by himself. He doesn't sugar coat. I like that, and really find myself pulling for him. I have decided if he gets the nomination I will in all likelihood vote Democrat this time.

Hehe..

As a Southern democrat, Edwards is probably the best of the original contenders.  Im not going to harp about him though, Im actually thinking that Kerry will get Bush another four years.

Well, I will typically go with the guy that speaks straight about what he brings to the table. I may not agree with everything the person wants to do, but I'd prefer someone with conviction over someone doing what is politically expedient.

The only thing I dont like about edwards is that he's a trial lawer.  Most Lawyers are in fact scum.  He might be the exception to the rule though.


In most exit poles kerry got the majority of the vote because "he had more ELECTABILITY than any other canidate."

so its really not about the issues its about beating GWB

he's happy with 2nd place ... knowing he can't beat out a wealthy liberal dem for the nomination - not full enough of bush hate and sprewing kooky left ideals, he is shooting to be his veep choice...

I think Edwards is the best hope for the Democrats in '04.

Besides, the guy's a looker, and just think of all the hot, young interns he could breed.

What this country needs is a return to a president who isn't afraid to be a man, and use the fresh young meat that God provides to serve the president.
