Former Senator John Edwards won MoveOn.org Political Action’s poll on the climate crisis which asked, “Which candidate’s position on dealing with the climate crisis do you prefer?” Of the field of eight Democratic hopefuls, Edwards received 33% of the total votes cast–more than twice the support of the next two candidates, Rep. Kucinich and Senator Clinton, who each garnered 15.7%.
MoveOn member vote results:
Edwards 33.10%
Kucinich 15.73%
Clinton 15.71%
Obama 15.03%
Richardson 12.60%
Biden 3.06%
Dodd 3.01%
Gravel 1.78%
Edwards' plan is to reduce the USA's greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by the year 2050. So, who's voting for Edwards?

I'm seriously thinking about it. Between that and his pro-universal healthcare stance...My only problem with him is his tendency to go back on his word (There's an interview with him on Meet the Press that is telling)...then again don't all politicians do that?
But there's still a lot of time yet, sand the race could still change dramatically before primary season.

Personally, I think Edwards would serve best as a Senator or a congressman, than President.

Anyone who votes on a single issue for President is asinine, but what the hey, if Edwards will reduce HIS greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by election day, sure I'll vote for him...
...and monkeys will fly out my butt.

I would never vote for a personal injury lawyer who made himself wealthy by suing people and then collecting huge fees from their insurance companies. The insurance companies of course, just recover these payments by raising their rates. So, if you are unhappy about the cost of any of your insurance policies, auto, medical, homeowners, etc. you have John Edwards and others of his ilk to thank.

Not me.
I think politicians should stay out of the engineering business They foul up everything they touch.
What has Edwards ever designed and brought to fruition?
What can he do to guarantee such reductions?
Wipe out humanity?

Bill Richardson is better. He's said:
On my first day in office I will announce my plan to withdraw from Iraq.
On my second day, my plan to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
On the third, my plan to reduce global warming.
Considering the politics of the issues, he even has the order right.
Edwards is smart, Richardson is brilliant.

Edwards reminds me of Dan Quail.

No - Edwards strikes me as a little too fake and hypocritical; even for a politician.
