John Edwards uses YouTube to announce his run for President. I’m a huge supporter of people who try to the right thing. I think John Edwards is that kind of guy. I don’t like to make official statements of support for political candidates. But if John Edwards is running. He’s got 901am’s support as I believe he really is trying to make a social difference, a moral difference, and a positive difference in bringing change to our world outside of normal political channels.

Like most politicians, Edwards certainly seems like a decent guy most of the time, who is trying to help others. A friend of mine went to the high school that Edwards’ son, Wade, attended before he passed away. Edwards ended up donating a ton of money to the school.
Unfortunately, “trying to make a social difference, a moral difference, and a positive difference” can hurt as much as it can help. Just ask the doctors who Edwards sued using emotion rather than science (re: cerebral palsy). As time has gone by it’s become clear that Edwards’ good intentions were misdirected and he was on the wrong side of science. The road to hell is paved….yada yada yada.
In the end, he’s a politician. And a good one at that. But he’s not particularly unique. I’m yet to hear of a candidate who doesn’t want to help the little guy. ;)
Doug,
I just didnt hear or see as much help the little guy from John Kerry or Al Gore’s camps in the last 12 years. Although your probably right I’m getting the wool pulled over my eyes.
David,
Edwards is first 2008 candidate that really gets it. It will be fascinating to watch the entire race unfold.
