First off, I would like to say how proud I am to be a supporter of John Edwards and how proud I am of the quality of most supporters of John Edwards.
In Missouri John Edwards hit on his familiar themes.
Presidential candidate John Edwards' covenant with the working and middle class resonated with the more than 1,000 people who jammed an auditorium to see him Monday in Springfield.
Edwards drew applause and cheers of support as he hit on his keystone issues: creating jobs, enacting trade deals that help U.S. workers, universal health care, support for education and teachers, and more funds to help college-bound students.

The story then goes on to point out something that I wish all of our candidates point out.
Edwards sparked applause with his pledge to conserve energy and develop alternative fuels to reverse global warming. The crowd leapt to their feet and applauded when he said Americans could "be patriotic about something other than war."
In another story, the human touch, the personal reaction and response to John Edwards comes from Bruce Davidson and his 13-year-old son David.
When Bruce Davidson’s 13-year-old son, David, asked him to take him to Springfield on Monday to hear former Sen. John Edwards speak at the Teamsters Hall, he knew he had to find a way to get him there.
Wanting to encourage his son’s interest in the democratic process, Davidson said, "There was no way I could say ‘no.’"
Davidson recently moved his family to Branson from Wisconsin. Davidson said that when he was a young man, he had been inspired by a speech he heard Sen. Robert Kennedy give in 1968.
After hearing Edwards, Davidson was asked to comment on what he had heard. He couldn’t. There were tears in his eyes. Regaining his composure, he said: "What impressed me the most about his speech was when he said he hadn’t taken a dime from a lobbyist. John McCain can’t say that."
His son said: "It was an excellent speech. He said everything that needed to be said."
