I saw him a few nights ago doing that mtv/myspace thing on tv. I thought he was pretty cool. I think I like him. But then again, aren't politicians pretty much trained to make you like them during election?
Anyway, why do you like him? Why don't you?
I'm 15 by the way so try to use language I can understand...lol :)

Also I would like to know what an "ambulence chaser" is.
Again I'm only 15.
Leimans terms please!

An ambulance chaser is an attorney who looks for/seeks out clients that have been in auto accidents. he tries to take on the case and get the client to sue for a bogus neck or back injury. When and if the injured (or supposedly injured person) wins, he (John Edwards - the attorney) gets a minimum of 33% of the $.
Bogus lawsuits make all of our taxes and insurance go up (there is a long explaination for this) but that's what happens.
Ambulance chasers are basicially greedy and slimy attorneys and we would not want one for a President.
At 15, I am so happy to see you asking questions and being interested and involved.

Edwards isn't cool. There's nothing to like about Edwards. The man is SCARY!
Edwards is absolutely THE biggest phoney in the entire presidential race! I cannot understand how any can take this guy seriously. He comes off a million miles away from being sincere with every breath that he musters.
He exploited the poor with his poverty tour. Oh, its all the government's fault those people are in poverty. Maybe if he talked to them about the importance of getting a good education, staying away from addictions, etc. instead of preaching that its the government's responsibility to get those people out of poverty, something he claims he can do, but ultimately is impossible--then maybe he might do some good to help the poverty situation in our country. Those people are fooled into thinking---wow, this guy cares about US!!!! Yeah right!
Edwards cares about ONLY getting their votes--not about them.
Why do I say that? Well, from the time he ran for vice president until now, he has not been working towards helping the poor get out of poverty, but has been working for a hedge fund. Yep, good ol' Edwards has been working to make already rich people---richer!
Edwards built a fortune on putting people OUT of business and destroying jobs by trying frivilous lawsuits. He's an ambluance chaser. Constrast that to someone like Mitt Romney who has spent a majority of his career creating MILLIONS of jobs, while creating a fortune for himself with his Bains Capital.
If Edwards becomes president, and there's no way he will---thank God---you can literally kiss this country good-bye.

John Edwards will never be president. He does not exude leadership...he speaks about two Americas as if he's a poverty advocate, then displays tendencies generally reserved for haughty elites and snobbish boors. He is an amazing trial lawyer...but those traits are precisely why he will never be president. Also, he sounds like a female Forrest Gump.

Not a good idea. Nah he is not a good candidate. His wife is shameful, George Sorros drops big bucks on into to John Edwards campaign. And on top of all this I just read this morning that he is short on his presidential campaign money and that he was going to tax us the American Citizens, in order to get back some of his campaign money. Good lord no.

It wouldn't work. Every time an ambulance went by the White House he would chase it.

I really have no opinion one way or the other, if he somehow wins the Democratic nomination, then I will vote for him in the general election.
He has one shot at becoming President, he must win Iowa.
If he does not win Iowa, he is toast.

I don't trust the whacked out sleazy ambulance chaser and I'm apparently not alone since he couldn't even get reelected for a second term in his own state.

He's OK, but I just don't like all the faces he makes. He looks as if he's straining himself. aside from that, he has a lot of good ideas.
P.S. don't expect these cons to say anything positive about a democratic candidate. They repeat the same mantra about all of them. Disgusting!

I don't trust him. I think he will say and do anything to get elected. (More than the rest if you know what I mean). Also he is a lawyer. They are trained to sound nice and play with words.
