Edwards to announce from New Orleans

Rumors are that he will make the official announcement around Christmas. Brilliant! His main issue is poverty and he'll anounce from the city that became the symbol of poverty in America (not that it does not exist everywhere - but it is a symbol) and remind everyone about the post-Katrina plight of the poor, the GOP inability and unwillingness to do anything right about the disaster, and the Republican racist rhetoric about the "welfare queens" and "God smiting New Orleans because of homosexuality".

Now let's be clear - we all knew Mitt Romney did not give a flying fuck about the poor. Other than the occasional service provider, he's never met any poor people, first of all. Moreover, it is a fact that no presidential candidate, Democratic or Republican for the last 30 years has cared about…

Mr Coturnix:
First, good luck with your PhD work.
As a Christian, I'll relate to you what I told my Adult Bible Study a few years ago. I said there are two reasons America generally does well. First, most Americans have faith in God and Jesus. Secondly, but no less important than the first, we protect the Jewish people, God's chosen people, and in turn, we receive God's protection.
Take care, Douglas

Hmmm. I'm not even sure what that other comment has to do with your post.

About Edwards: I saw this too. I think around Christmas would be a great time for him to announce and I guarantee you I have a nice Christmas present for his campaign when/if he does. Go John!
