I think that the only way that the Democrats can win this race is if John Edwards were the nominee. I believe that when people go to their caucuses and primaries, they will understand this just before they pull the lever or punch the button. John Edwards seems to have had an epiphany of late. He sounds almost as progressive as Gravel and Kuchinich. I think he realizes that this nation can’t give up it’s sovereignty to the corporate cabal that now runs this country. I believe his time out of Washington and his wife’s illness has made him rethink many things. I also believe he could tear up the rural “red” states. This is the candidate that could win. He’s the best chance we have unless Al Gore comes tiptoeing out of wherever he is with a vengeance.

 

These are just my thoughts. I’m sure that people will have plenty to say, but before you write those comments, think about what I wrote. We really need to change the direction of this country. People that aren’t on the Mainstream Media are really angry. This nation is more split than I’ve ever seen it. Some people in this country are becoming ashamed to be Americans. That’s a pity. I feel that way myself sometimes. I look around and wonder what happened? This isn’t where I though we would be. This nation has done more in the last decade to tarnish it’s image and ruin it’s democracy than at any time in its history. Things need to change. I would hate to see the alternative.

 

That’s the way I see it.
