Hi Michael,
Thanks for asking. Hope this isn't too far off topic for the rest of the list. I guess my jury's still out on Edwards. My gut reaction in watching him is that he seems a little naive to me, but I'm open to being convinced. Dean's been my fave, so far, because I don't feel like anyone owns him. There are constant accusations of him being 'angry', but I haven't seen any signs of uncontrolled temper. What I have seen is some passion, and I find it refreshing. As for anger, I'm angry too. I like Dean's pattern of going directly to the people for his support and avoiding the big donors, and I appreciate his integrity and courage in having opposed the war when almost no one was doing so. I remember seeing him on a talk show then, and the interviewer saying something along the lines of "You realize you're committing political suicide", and him responding with the idea that speaking truth was more important. We'll see what happens, eh? Thanks for being interested in my thoughts. I hope everyone on this list will go vote, no matter who you're voting for.
Peace,
David

David,
being from North Carolina I was wondering what your take on John Edwards is. He is still my favorite personally and was wondering if you had any insights on him being from the same state.
In Christ,
Michael Martin
