Neither Obama nor Hillary are the candidate of hope and positive change. They are both starting to play dirty tricks. I truly believe that if one or the other were not in the race that John Edwards would be front runner. (I definitely plan to caucus for John Edwards.)
I can see that John Edwards is trying to get his message of positive change for America to the public, while trying to remain civil. It just does not seem to be resonating enough to get past the media preconceptions imprinted upon public opinion.
Wake up America. John Edwards is not the sleeper candidate. Most Americans are still asleep.

The total number of delegates for the Democratic National Convention is 4,049 delegates (or more). Currently, Obama has 25, Hillary has 24 and Edwards has 18.
DO NOT BELIEVE THE MEDIA HYPE. It is NOT a foregone conclusion that the race has been decided and that the choice is only between Obama and Hillary. I believe that both Obama and Hillary are too divisive to be an effective candidate.
Bring back some sanity and civility to this race by choosing John Edwards.
Vote for Unity not divisiveness. Both Hillary and Obama have been part of dirty politics in this election.
Vote for John Edwards!
I just ran across this. It is so funny because it is true. Newsflash! There are three major candidates running for the Democratic nomination, not two.

It seems like the media is trying to do to John Edwards, what they have already done to Dennis Kucinich. Shame on you! Do not let the corporate Democrats (Hillary and Obama) silence the only candidate for change left.
Vote for John Edwards!
Well I can stand beside
Ideals I think are right
And I can stand beside
The idea to stand and fight
I do believe
There's a dream for everyone
This is our country
There's room enough here
For science to live
And there's room enough here
For religion to forgive
And try to understand
All the people of this land
This is our country
From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country
That poverty could be
Just another ugly thing
And bigotry would be
Seen only as obscene
And the ones that run this land
Help the poor and common man
This is our country
From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country
The dream is still alive
Some day it will come true
And this country it belongs
To folks like me and you
So let the voice of freedom
Sing out through this land
This is our country
(John Mellencamp, Our Country Lyrics)
This country belongs to me and you!
Caucus for John Edwards tomorrow!
What also bothers me about Obama is his new strong arm tactics that resemble the other media celebrity running in this race.
"Just three weeks ago Senator Obama was calling on me and Senator Clinton to demand that outside groups not run ads on our behalf. These new ads look like the same old nasty divisive politics that both Senators Obama and Clinton denounced just two days ago. It is extremely important for us to quit focusing on fights between politicians and instead focus on what we need to do for working people, for the Latino community in Nevada and across the country." -John Edwards on the UNITE HERE radio ads.
Skywater no need to yell (CAPS).
John Edwards was a candidate before Obama. He is the original change candidate. Obama seems to have taken most of his playbook from John Edwards. His celebrity appeal is what is helping him at this point. For me, Obama has taken votes from Edwards.
"There's a wall around Washington and we need to take it down. The American people are on the outside. And on the other side, on the inside, are the powerful, the well-connected and the very wealthy.That wall didn't build itself or appear overnight. For decades, politicians without convictions and powerful interests gathered their bricks and their stones and their mortar, and they went to work. They went to work to protect their interests, to block the voice of the American people, and to stop our country's progress. They went to work to protect, defend, and maintain the status quo.
"You have a choice in this election. You have to decide what kind of person you want as your next president. Do you want someone who is going to pretend that wall around Washington isn't there, or defend the people who helped build it? Or do you want someone who is going to lead with conviction and tell you the truth, and have a little backbone? Do you want someone who is going to hope that the people who spent millions of dollars and decades building that wall, and have billions more invested in keeping it up, are going to be willing to compromise, to take it down voluntarily? Or do you want someone who is going to stand up to those people and fight for your interests, when the chips are down, when your backs are against the wall, every single day?
"We have a choice in this election. We can keep trying to shout over that wall. We can keep trying to knock out a chink here and there, to punch little holes in it and hope our voices get through. We can settle for baby steps, half-measures and incremental change, and try to inch our way over that wall and toward a better future. Or we can be bold and knock it down. …
-John Edwards, DNC Fall Meeting
Knock Down That Wall! Don't vote the status quo and vote in another corporate Democrat.
Make a statement tomorrow and caucus for John Edwards.
