John Edwards-"The South is my backyard, and I will beat

[mourningdove92]

George Bush in my back yard"

That was such a great line!

[JohnLocke]

1. I know.

It was great!

[Jackson Smith]

2. I agree. The Clark-Edwards ticket seems to be emerging.

[AP]

4. I think it's Edwards-Clark.

In fact, I think Clark is only running so that they can introduce him to people so that when he's the VP choice people know something about him.

That's what I think. The reality is probably that it's going to be one or the other, and who ever finishes highest will be Prez.

[Jackson Smith]

7. I like either

I think having Clark at the top of the ticket would be more potent in this current political climate, but I like them both. They are my two favorite candidates.

[AP]

11. I think if Clark were on top, US would totally pull out of Iraq and voters

would scratch heads and be confused about why we need the guy.

The argument for Edwards doesn't disappear under any circumstance controllable by Bush.

[Jackson Smith]

13. Wow, you think Bush would react that drastically to Clark?

You think he'd totally pull out of Iraq if Clark is our nominee? Just to spite him?

If so, GOOD.

[AP]

15. Then Bush would invade Iran after he wins the election.

And reoccupy Iraq.

Would that be good?

That's basically what Nixon did. Except Nixon didn't even have to withdraw. He just had to talk like he was going to withdraw and that was enough to win.

[Jackson Smith]

18. Interesting....

[arewethereyet]

8. Clark who ?

Edwards has no need of Clark and Clark has peaked.

[Jackson Smith]

9. We'll see, bub.

Clark will be on TV literally every day this week and the NH primary is next Monday. Clark is making moves. Don't be a hater. If Clark and Edwards join forces, they could form the most awesome political unit since JFK-LBJ.

[arewethereyet]

10. LBJ had political clout and could deliver Texas' electorial votes

and a lot of money.

Forgive me but what state can Clark deliver ? What political clout has he ?

[Jackson Smith]

12. You mean what can Edwards deliver for Clark? ;)

Edwards (to Clark): "Ah weel duhliver North Caruhlina"

[bearfartinthewoods]

23. you act as if that's a good thing

imho, clark is getting mistake prone.

[arewethereyet]

25. "getting" mistake prone ?

was there a time when he was not ? sorry, I missed it. seemed as though he has had about as many opportunities to explain himself as Dr Dean has.

[sandnsea]

3. I want to see a barnyard fist fight

I want to see John Edwards just kick the little shrub all around the barnyard, like in one of them old movies... anybody else...

I love that line too!

[flaminbats]

5. But I thought it was shrub's frontyard...

:beer:

[bearfartinthewoods]

6. that was the start of the quote

'the south is not george bush's backyard, it's MY BACKYARD. AND I'M GONNA BEAT BUSH IN MY BACKYARD!!

WOOOOOHOOOO!

[kanrok]

14. Edwards is the real deal

If he can maintain momentum, he's got a real chance. Much more so than I would have dreamed even 2 weeks ago. He's fun to watch. He's coming into his own. He's a genuinely nice guy and that goes a long way with me. Watching him at his rally on C-span literally gave me chills. Go get 'em John.

29. with a name like lieberman

he would unfortunately have a hard time winning the south. Remember I live down here and some things have not changed. It is just not talked about and is well hiden.

It is shameful,but true. Lieberman may poll well down here,but when it is time to pull that lever it is all a different story. Just ask Harvey Gant!!!

[DjTj]

21. I can beat Bush in the East, West, Midwest, and talking like this...

...in the South!

[arewethereyet]

26. and with his program and his skills, I believe it !

GO EDWARDS!

[angee_is_mad]

28. His my State senator but not my candidate

but damn I love that guy. I am a Clark woman, but Edwards would definitely be my second choice. Especially with his strong showing in IOWA.

I guess good guys can finish first. God I hope so!

[chimpymustgo]

30. Watching, listening to Edwards is so positive. I just smile.

I am so ready for this fight, he says. I dream about it at night. You give me the chance to take on George Bush, and I'll give you the White House.

You gotta believe.
