I started a diary back when I first signed up here about how I'd like to support John R.Edwards.
I take the time to analyze all of the Democratic candidates and from what I've seen, Edwards is the most impressive of the bunch.
I'd like to use this diary to explain why John Edwards resonates with me on the issues and how I feel we need Edwards. This is not a diary for bashing the other candidates. We have a fine crop of candidates for 2008 and I would rather not bash the others because that is juvenile and does not help the overall cause.
Ok, where to begin? Here
The above link is the first diary I wrote in which I pretty much decided I was going to support Edwards.
Here's what I like about John Edwards:
Edwards seems like a very passionate person to me.He's supportive of unions and the working man and woman, which is something that I want in a candidate. Edwards comes from humble roots, the son of a textile mill worker (father) and a postal carrier (mother).
I relate to Edwards as he was the first person in his family to go to college, much like I am the first person in my immediate family to go to college. My parents worked hard to give me everything I have, much like Edwards' parents did the same for him.
On the issues, there is no candidate I agree with more than John Edwards.
John Edwards is what America needs now more than ever.
And for that, I officially throw my hat in the ring.
