Edwards Is In the Race

In my other blog, I questioned whether or not Edwards could successfully become POTUS. However, what good is having decent people with great ideas make the effort if we don't support them? So I am joining the Edwards for president campaign. My reasons are simply:

1. He speaks grassroots. That is, Mr. Edwards understands that in today's world the government cannot do everything for us. I know that I could stand around and wait and eventually wear my legs out with the waiting.
2. He looks at people in pain and directs energies toward helping those people. I think I joined such a person in a truly Jesus path in this world.
3. He has a good understanding of true patriotism--doing what is right for the country, admit mistakes, and take steps to undo mistakes.

It might be noteworthy to see the little that mainstream media has done to cover the former senator's announcement. From one Huffington Posts regular posts come a few interesting stories on the announcement and the possibility of an Edwards run for the White House. One also Michelle Pilecke's blog discusses the disconnect between the location and announcement and the causes of the repaired damages from the flood nor a discussion of repaired levees and another discusses the consequences of his announcements on other would be entrants into the presidential debate.
