The former Senator Edwards, As every one knows by now he has come out strong and heavy. the real question is will he be able to sustain this energy. Yes, he is first out. Being first out of the gate does not guarantee anything. In fact it almost guarantees a long hard battle.
His platform is one that has the Fox and other conservative wailing. Trying to decry oohh he just Kerry's shadows. Some how I don't really think so. He has by coming out now is showing a certain amount of genius. Yes, all the candidates are going to run on similar themes. However, he was the first to state it in his campaign.
At this point I am willing to bet that Sen. Clinton is having kittens. I think she was hoping that Sen. Obama would be her only headache at least as far as democrats were concerned. And perhaps that Gov. Vilsack. Now she has to contend with someone that comes to the table with an already made base.
He could sweep in to the White House with either Sen. Obama or the Gov. Vilsack as his running mate. Though I am willing to predict that among the democrats its going to be a close run between Edward, Vilsack, and Obama. Forget Sen. Clinton she will be the noise the right will be making.
Currently I think that I can safely predict that the best choices for the democratic party will be one of these three men in one combination or another. Sen. Clinton will have by the time the democratic party selects its Presidential hopeful, it will have sideline Sen. Clinton. The dragon will have to be placated after all. So watch as the three aforementioned gentlemen try and make peace with her.
"We all must take responsibility and take action now to:
Provide moral leadership in the world
Strengthen our middle class and end poverty
Guarantee universal health care for every American
Lead the fight against global warming
Get America and other countries off our addiction to oil "
I took the above off his website directly. This makes for great rhetoric. I hope he really is intending to do more than addressing these issues. We need to do these things we need a person who can at least fight to see that the ball gets started to rolling. Will I vote for this man? At this time I am more inclined to wait and see how this campaign season goes. Cause it sure does look interesting and will be entertaining.
There is only on more thing that I will add to this blog. Out of all the candidates presently in the field. I find that John Edwards who come across as being people. That is being some one that can be related to as a person and thought as being human. Not just as another pol throwing his name in to the hat.
