Nevada can save the country from eight more years of GOP hell by giving John Edwards the momentum he needs.

Neither Obama or Hillary can win in Novemeber. John Edwards can win and would take the country in new direction.

If you are concerned about the growing wealth gap, the decline of the middle class, the enviroment, your own ability to afford health care, and America's place in the world John Edwards is the only candidate to even consider.

Edwards 2008!

Obama will lose to a GOP candidate, virtually any GOP candidate. The GOP will kill him on his youthful drug use, his Afro-centric church, and his general lack of political experience.

Heck, here in flyover land I spend a lot of time explaining to people that he is not Muslim. That's the reality. Barack Hussein Obama is a tough, tough sell to most non-black, Christian Americans. Think about it: What red state is Obama going to bring into the blue column?

If you love John Edwards vote for John Edwards. John Edwards can still easily win the nomination, and, more importantly, John Edwards can win in November.

By the way, here's a link to the mission statement for Obama's church:

Make up your own mind, but Rush, Rove, and the rest of the GOP attack dogs are licking their chops. He has never been in a political dog fight with those kind of hitters and I am just not sure he's up to it.

There is a ton to admire about Obama, but it is simply risky to make him the Democratic nominee this time.

John Edwards 2008!

Hillary can't win against most of the possible GOP candidates and Obama will have an uphill battle. Edwards, on the other hand, would beat any GOP candidate easily.

If you want to see the Democratic Party take the White Hose in January 2009 John Edwards is the most logical choice.

Republican are loaded for bear for both Hillary and Obama. You should look long and hard at Obama's church, because if he wins the GOP will make it a huge issue. Here's the link to the church's mission statement: http://www.tucc.org/about.htm

The GOP will kill him with this stuff. Here is a very sympathetic view of the church from a white woman that visited: http://camelsnose.wordpress.com/2007/10/...

The GOP will not be so nice and Obama will be the biggest Democratic disaster since Mondale.

John Edwards is the only Democratic candidate that can actaully win in Novemeber.

John Edwards is the only candidate that can beat the GOP in November, and, for once, he is also the candidate with the best ideas. This country needs someone to stand up against the tide of corporate greed that has washed across the political landscape for the last twenty years and John Edwards is the only one that can do that.

Edwards in 2008!

John Edwards is the only stone cold lock to beat the GOP in November, and he's the person the country needs.

I was attracted to Barrak Obama, because he is a great speaker. He seems to have passion and I believe his heart is in the right place. Sadly, his head is somewhere else. He attends a strange black nationalist church.

On the Trinity's mission statement it says: "We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black

Here's the link to the church's mission statement: http://www.tucc.org/about.htm

This is the sort of stuff that the GOP, for once correctly, would use to bury him in November.

Here's a link from a nice pro-Obama white lady about her visit to Trinity:

You should read it before you vote for the guy.

Hillary? She's consistently the second most despised person in America behind Bush. It is a tribute to the Clintons' hubris and political skills that she's even in the running. It would be like the GOP running Dick Chenney. A lot of GOP stalwarts like him, but they aren't dumb enough to think he could win in the general election. Ron Paul is the only current member of the GOP field she could beat.

That leaves John Edwards. Yes, Edwards has issues to. He was a trial lawyer and that is certainly an easy profession to bash. But his message is consitently pro-middle class. After the last twenty years that's what the country needs. If we don't vote for Edwards now in eight years it may be too late for union members and other blue collar workers. The biggest problem in this country is how to deal with the gap between the rich and the poor, but John Edwards is the only candidate with the guts to address the issue.

Also, John Edwards is not a career politician. If you don't know the story of why he gave up his legal career to go into politics check out this:

John Edwards is the only candidate that can win.
