John Edwards WINS in Iowa

OK, he didn’t get the biggest percentage of delegates from the caucuses, but he did win by beating Hillary. He also showed that people want change and that you can get a lot of votes without having to spend zillions of dollars.

Congratulations Mr. Edwards!

Here is his campaign website.

  1. Go Edwards!!!

  2. Edwards did very well given that he was polling third and wound up beating the front runner.  His reinvigorated progressive populist message clearly gathering support.

  3. Agreed!

  4. This is what I hoped for, John to be close so the race can really begin.

  5. He did fabulously considering that both Obama and Clinton outspent him by huge margins.  Plus which the margins are so close as to make it kind of silly to say anyone “won.” Given that Clinton was considered the “annointed one”, this is a huge blow for her.  It’s pretty interesting how evenly divided the top three candidates are…

  6. :mrgreen: Rock on Ed! Here is my advice go Left go further Left on the issues than Obama and Hilary which is not all that hard, but if you go further Left than you have been you will get free headlines.
    Which is something that you need to counteract the money Obama and Hilary’s will out spend you on in TV commercials.
    When the GOP attacks you and they will if you go far enough Left point out that on Healthcare you are still to the Right of the Conservative party in Canada.
    Mike Moore in “Sicko” has a great interview with a Conservative Canadien who supports Canada’s Healthcare plan which is further Left than your plan.
    Point out that the Majority of people here want Healthcare for everybody and that Hilary and Obama are to the Right of the majority of the American People..

  7. On Iraq point out that we can either keep paying for a war that Bush has not won yet even though America won WW2 in less time or we could have Healthcare.
    When the GOP says that we need oil tell them that high oil prices give the Arabs enough money to buy nukes its not only Iran there are rumors that Saudi Arabia and Egypt both are looking to get nukes now.
    Which ought to scare Jewish voters and anyone sane and informed for that matter.
    Now how do we stop them from getting Nukes? Hybrid Cars Baby! Hybrid Cars suppose we take what we spend on one year in Iraq and give it to GM and Ford and tell them to take 6 months off to retool all their factories in America to make Hybrid cars.
    Why well the gas we use the lower the price of gas goes which means the Arabs have less money to buy Nukes.
    Plus with oil at $100 a barrel Detroit will be able to sell those cars like hotcakes at least until the price of gas goes down which might take a few years until enough people buy hybrids.
    Plus it would give you the state of Michigan one of the big ten electoral states on a platter. Heck it will give you a boost in any state with a auto plant or two in it.

  8. Also I want some numbers for how well Obama would have done if Dennis and Richardson did not tell their voters in Iowa to support Obama. That is the real story sure you may still have lost but nobody can deny that the race would have been allot closer if that had not happened.
    Ed you really need to push this point.
    I hope Ed that someone in your high command is reading these blogs and passes on my advice to you cause if you ignore us like Hilary has then you will lose. We are the only base you really have until you can convince the Main Stream Media hacks to start covering your race.
    Sincerely all the Left Wing Hordes who read this site and look to it for inspiration and are ready to fight…if you are!

  9. Things Come Undone, :) Could you please send those last 3 posts on to Mr Edwards’ office.
    He has to know that the ‘people’ don’t need/want any more ‘Politically Correct’ B.S. and that when he stands and speaks truth and fact, so many of us will stand too, BUT no-more being P.C/Nice, about what all this mess/ ‘White House’ etc, really means and what it is really costing us and the world.
    Thank-you :) .

  10. Opps , sorry Cassie, good job on spotting one of the more important facts about John Edwards and the strength of his message to regular folks…Smart girl :)
