Obama recently voted against war funding, and Clinton followed HIM. Tell me what vote Obama followed Clinton on. Clinton's dismal record goes beyond her votes, which were bad enough. She went in front of the Senate to bolster Bush's claims that Saddam gave shelter to those responsible for 9/11. She also claimed not have read the NIE, an 80-page document, before voting for war. Edwards claimed "he didn't remember" whether he read the act or not.

Obama voted for the patriot act, voted to fund the war without benchmarks, voted present on the amnesty for telcoms, waited to see how Hillary was going to vote before casting several other key votes.When it came to the tough votes, Obama failed. Its easy to say what you would have done had you been senator, but once you are a Senator, your votes, or lack thereof, will tell one you. yes, lets put it into real perspective.

This simply points to the fact that Edwards is a white male. Nader and Kucinich stand apart from the establishment, so I can understand why they get support, but to put Edwards into that category covers some very important facts. Let's put this into perspective: if one looks at the records of Obama and Edwards in the public and private sectors, there is no question that Obama has the better, more progressive record. Edwards's senate career is as bad as Clinton's. Obama has problems as well, but it is the best amongst the three. John Edwards took half a million dollars from Fortress Investment Group, a hedge fund with ties to the sub-prime lending fiasco. He claimed he was studying "poverty." Obama, on the other hand, forwent riches to be a community organizer and civil rights lawyer. Don't get me wrong, I like Edwards, and would support him if his candidacy were viable; it's just a shame that he gets so many votes because he is a white male. I despise Hillary Clinton and would never vote for her, but the fact that she is a woman is a plus, not a minus, as is Obama's race. This unelectable argument is BS. I'm disappointed in Robbins and Sarandon. They should be supporting Kucinich or Obama. I can’t believe Robbins and Sarandon are using the “unelectable” argument.

It would be such a shame to watch the Bush family raddle the Iranian saber for the next 11 months only to scare the American people into voting for John McCain over a baby-faced, "un-electable" Ovama. We need John Edwards more than ever. And the Edward's people need to think about releasing a Vice Presidential pick ASAP to strengthen/have a chance of beating Obama and Hillary.

Thought, logic has evaporated! Excitement! Hope! Cooperation! The world continues to laugh at us. Is this the Miss America contest? No substance. An American Idol atmosphere, a revival meeting....Faith, no evidence, no facts... The Media have decided Obama is the man. Why? Maybe the only way a Republican has a chance is to have a weak Democrat heading the ticket.... The cult like atmosphere surrounding the Obama phenomenon

What I do see is two socialists running for the presidency, neither of which has an inkling regarding how bad the economy is now and will continue to be when they increase taxes to "help" the lower portion of the economy. Also both of these candidates are members of the CFR, a private think-tank that promotes one world government and therefore the destruction of the US Constitution and our borders and therefore also the destruction of the US middle class. No president should pledge allegiance to private groups such as the CFR before they pledge allegiance to the flag. Surprisingly, this is not even a secret. Rockefeller wrote at about it at length in his books. There really isn’t a difference between Obama and Edwards as far as I can see.

It has been very obvious from the beginning the media doesn't believe John Edwards will pay off for their advertisers! So, they ignore John completely. Just like they did when Gore won the noble peace prize. Media stop being of value when the news department became part of the entertainment department. Advertisers are deciding who is viable presidential candidate and who is not! If the media had any validity to their reporting, the focus would be on the number of contributors! That is a variable that would show who is being supported by the voters and not the advertisers.
