John Edwards is set to collect a key Iowa endorsement tomorrow from one of the state's Democratic members of Congress, a coveted prize that each of Mr. Edwards' rivals have been aggressively courting.

Representative Bruce Braley, who represents Iowa's First Congressional District in the eastern portion of the state, is scheduled to announce that he is supporting the presidential candidacy of Mr. Edwards, a former senator from North Carolina. The development was confirmed to The Caucus by two Democratic officials familiar with the endorsement.

Go Edwards! Bush wants globalization for his daddy so much, that he cares not how many people have to suffer and die for their greed. Sock it to them, Edwards.

Did Edwards concede after winning in 2004? Or was it Kerry?

The nominee?
Gee. I hope so.
But it reminds me of backing the Sex Pistols in 1977.
Thus I suggest we go with Asia and include the Sex Pistols for a cabinet position.

John Edwards.
I love the guy.
I'm with his campaign.
But you know how this works.
He has my vote in the Ohio primary.
That plus my dollars is all I can do.

After that I vote for the nominee.
I'm a yellow dog Democrat.

Edwards/Kucinich has a nice ring to it now that Al Gore has decided not to be in the running. Richardson and Biden and Dodd would also be much better contenders than the present repig candidates, any of them!

Edwards always wins the instant polling done on the Thom Hartmann Show on Air America.

It's ok. There's room on that sinking ship for him. (I'm taking public money because it's virtuous to do so, not because my campaign is out of gas. Indeed.)

Way to go, John Edwards. Let Hillary and Barack self-destruct, while quietly collecting endorsements that matter, as opposed to baubles like Oprah.
Edwards for President!
