Edwards: Post 4 of probably a lot
Since I had a central seat, I got to shake Edwards' hand as he made his way to the podium. Normally, I don't get along with anyone who could be described as a good ol' boy. But when he began to speak, any negative reactions I had to his aw-shucks manner were wiped away. Especially as he spoke about his conviction that Washington could not be trusted to take on the issue of poverty. He closed with a line that he said he had cribbed from a social activist. "The leaders we have been looking for are us."

John Edwards is extemely inspiring. He has lived the promise of American, from a mill worker's son to a vice-presidential candidate. It is important to him, as it should be to all of us, to make this opportunity available to every child born in this country. It is our America and we are responsible for what it becomes.
