Edwards!

Ibby · 11-15-2006, 03:33 AM

I just decided who I want to run for president in '08.

John Edwards.

I just caught him on the Daily Show, and man... Funny, witty, liberal, smart, charming, and damn good-looking, for a (former) congressman.
In other words, everything Bush isn't.

Obama or Edwards ftw!

I couldn't agree more. I think Edwards was hands down the way to go in the last election... but I don't see him running again. At least I don't see him running again in the near future. Now my personal favorite is Obama. I think he has a lot to say, but I really hope race or other issues don't come into play. I think he could be a truly great leader.

He's slick...

Quote:

In his closing arguments, Edwards spoke to the jury for an hour and a half without referring to notes. It was an emotional appeal that made reference to his son, Wade, who had been killed shortly before testimony began in the trial. Mark Dayton, editor of North Carolina Lawyers Weekly, would later call it "the most impressive legal performance I have ever seen.

Welcome to the Cellar, Brady.

WHOA, I'm honoured, I actually drove someone to sign up and post!

Shawnee123 · 11-15-2006, 07:30 AM

I'm liking the Obama, too.

Ibram, you're just a cellar magnet!

Ibby · 11-15-2006, 07:35 AM

The sad thing is, even after driving people to sign up, breaking the 2000 post mark, and sticking around for seven months, I still feel like a n00b.

Maybe it has something to do with the forum being older than me.

Pie · 11-15-2006, 07:37 AM

It'll feel worse when you find out you're not a n00b, trust me.

"Sh*t, I'm not the youngest guy around anymore! Aaaagh!"

Pie · 11-15-2006, 07:38 AM

Oh, and Obama is great n'all, but what the hell has he done?

Shawnee123 · 11-15-2006, 07:55 AM

Ibram, your maturity far surpasses many of the older Cellarites, including me!

He was also on Charlie Rose last night -- this time with a blue tie instead of the red one he wore on Daily Show.

But he is quite refreshingly articulate and amazingly transparent -- and I mean the latter in a good way, I think.

Happy Monkey · 11-15-2006, 10:16 AM

I wonder if the Secret Service will visit him after his "Seat of Heat" question...

(belated) Welcome brady_44. Don't make us wait for another year to hear from you again, though, please.

Based upon the recent elections, I think the Democratic candidate will win no matter who it is, except Billary Clinton. So all you Democratics need to choose very, very carefully. The republicans will have to do something truly amazing to get anyone reelected and Condi is certainly not gonna do it, so they'll probably toss out another "lamb to the wolves" like Dole, for the '08 elections.

Another "great thing" about the 2-party system: "place-holder" candidates.

I'm sorry, but John Edwards is a fraud. He has a hokey southern accent and all folksy and stuff around his contituents in NC, but get him on the Daily Show and he's a completely different person. Plus, he's a personal injury attorney by trade, so how trustworthy can he really be?

My vote is for anyone who isn't a democrat or a republican.
