Elizabeth Edwards: Pushing Legislation Won't Be "That Hard"

American Prospect:

Ezra Klein: The message you seemed to be previewing on Sunday was that Obama's a great guy, he's got a great philosophy, really good ideas, but it's in his head and not in his heart.

Elizabeth Edwards: Except for the ideas part, sure. His health care plan is slightly different, but in most everything else, he's adopted what John had said before. I'm not saying he can't have great ideas, just that so far his ideas have mirrored John's.

Head versus heart suggests that John doesn't have the head for it and I think he's the smartest guy in the race. But we're trying to draw the distinction between a candidate who says this is the political step I need to take, and the candidate who says this is the step I have to take. It's like someone who says they're a writer because they had to be. John did the poverty center because he felt like he had to. He recognized it immediately as his calling. He says, 'I'm born to do this, to make a difference in people's lives.' To show the real ramifications of policies that aren't as John would like them to be.

John Edwards has had my vote since 2004.
His voice is true and honest.

It's the middle class that makes up the back-bone of this country...­...He tells us he will fight for us and deliver...­........I belive him!
I trust John all the way to the white house and beyond! Edwards/Biden

[SadAmerican]

When will Elizabeth Edwards SHUT UP, and stop telling Senator Edwards what every word out of his mouth should be????

Let's give her the same scrunity that we give Bill Clinton everytime he opens his mouth!!!

WOW .. Elizabeth looks very thin, relatively, in that photo.

If she's lost and losing weight intentionally -- then good for her. If, however, pounds are shedding as a side-effect to her health issues, then I wish to send positive, healing energies and continue to keep her in my prayers...­.

I've always liked her. She comes across very geniune and trustworthy, and an all-around extremely likeable person. By far my favorite of the 2004 cast of characters.
