My boy for the big house:
http://edwards.senate.gov/
First of all, he made an insignificant promise to The Daily Show that if he was going to run he would announce it on that show. He didn't have to honor that, it was a joke at the time. But he went back to comedy central and became a man of his word even thought CNN or any network would have loved the scoop. I really like this mans character.
Honest, hard working, intelligent, eloquent, respectful.
To be honest Dean rubs me the wrong way, but Edwards seem like the right combination of attributes.
I still have to do some homework on Clark but Edwards seems solid to me.

As i was driving to work I thought to myself, "Okay. Let's pretend for a moment I know the per-capita income, imports, exports and all major government employees names in every country on the world."
Then I drove about 5 more miles and thought to myself, "Okay when do things start changing? How is this knowledge benefitting me?"
It's like teaching XML to your grandma.

It doesn't happen.
The coolest old guy I've spoken with did justice for his age group. He was an 82 year old retired programmer that worked on IBM systems in the 50's. This man didn't know alot about modern systems, but he f*****g listened and learned quick as hell. He also swore more than I do at everything. One hell of a cool dude.

People in NC are upset with Edwards, he's foresaken his job as Senator in order to run for President. But you can support whomever you wish to support, as it's a free country.

That happens a lot, but in my mind the president is a larger duty so I have no problem with it.
It would be like saying your co-workers got mad at you for takeing a better job.
