   Go John go! Since Edwards is the candidate who has taken no money from special interests, he has to fight harder in this campaign. He must take his message straight to the people! I admire him for keeping up the toughest schedule of anyone in this race. It is amazing to me that the more hectic his pace, the more energized he becomes. I guess he is fighting hard for what he believes in, and draws strength from that!

   Edwards made more visits to Nevada than any other candidate, and many listened.

   Caucus for this man, and let him know he does not need that special interest money. He's got us!

   I apologize but I couldn't resist asking: was there an ambulance in front of him? Or maybe it was a stiffed hairdresser behind him!

   John Edwards is a good, solid public servant. So is Clinton, so is Obama. Although, it is amazing the level to which the Clintons feel entitled to this nomination. I can't believe the level to which they have lashed out against Obama.

   What I regret about these recent weeks of dirty politics, is that Barack Obama, through no fault of his own, has been painted, in lurid colors, by the Clinton's(cause let's face it, Bill is running with Hillary this time:)) into a person he is really not. It's obvious that many people didn't know about Obama before this election heated up.

   I'm not trying to sway anyone's vote, because we are all going to vote the way according to our own reason. All these heated exchanges and bare naked attempts to appeal to each other's emotions for the benefit of our chosen candidate are not likely to change our minds. But with that said, and no matter if Hillary winds up destroying Barack, or if magically people wind up supporting him in wild numbers again, Barack Obama has honestly led a remarkable political life, and has largely worked toward helping the poor, fighting corporate power, and working to improve health care.

   Now, you may be skeptical of that, given all the press coverage and rumors that have been floating around, but it really is true. Read Time Magazines article - http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/...

   Time's article is clear and concise, but if you'd rather read just a listing of facts on Obama, read the Wikipedia Encyclopedia entry on him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obam...

   Barack has lived a fairly noble life, as far as politicians go. So I just don't think its fair the way the media, and the Clinton's are trying destroying his image. he's lead a good life, and honestly believes in the idea that our government would better if we'd minimize bipartisanship polarization. He's one of our better politicians, and even if he doesn't win, he's still going to keep fighting for the common good.

   It's just Hillary's crazy staff. They are known to spread any rumour and sink to any low to discredit Obama. Clinton 2008 is a campaign of no class at all.

   Let's recap her strategy:

   1. Use black politicians and celebrities to constantly bring up the idea of race on TV, and then blame Obama

   2. Let's smear his actual record of experience, and make claims about her own that are just plain false.

   3. Let's sue minority workes in Las Vegas, because they didnt support us.

   4. Let's encourage our staff and volunteers to be as nasty and mean as possible, to appeal to people's lowest instincts and sentiments on race.

   Great Job Hillary. You really deserve the presidency after all that. Don't you know that black voters will sit out the general election in protest, because of this ugly campaign you created. Don't you know that many independents will just vote for Mccain instead. You will not have the support of your party come general election.
