John Edwards

john edwards will be here in reno tomorrow afternoon... i am planning to go see him... if i have the opportunity, i hope to ask him if he is planning to speak up forcefully on the constitutional crisis the u.s. is facing... i support him in general, but i definitely need to hear what he has to say about domestic spying, unfettered presidential power, torture, habeas corpus, the patriot act, and other such nefarious bushco deeds...

that said, i think that edwards' framing of his candidacy as a call to action for americans to change our country NOW, and making his campaign more about THAT than about HIM is remarkable...

If we want to live in a moral and just America tomorrow, we cannot wait until the next President is elected to begin to take action.

bob geiger in the huffpo...
Americans are bone-tired of disliking and disrespecting their president and, I believe, are unusually anxious to begin the presidential season to, if nothing else, give them the feeling that a change is coming sooner than later. People hungered for a change in the Congress and made it happen -- now that strong desire to take out the trash moves to the executive branch of government.
