I agree wholeheartedly with Daily Kos Poster, deaniac83's diary

The best reason, by far, is that I believe John Edwards will make the best President of all the people running for President. Edwards not only talks about change, but he talks about how to make transformational change happen. Let's be sure of one thing. As John Edwards says, you can't nice the people who have held power in Washington for so long to the detriment of ordinary Americans. Transformational change takes more than rousing speeches or knowledge of the system. Simply put, it takes guts. The only candidate that has shown the courage to take the fight directly to corporate greed in this cycle is John Edwards. The only candidate who has committed to ending poverty in the richest land on earth is John Edwards. The only candidate with the guts to speak directly with Pakistani dictator Musharoff after the assassination of Bhutto is John Edwards. There is no better friend of the American worker and the American middle class. John Edwards was also the first candidate to propose a detailed universal health care plan. John Edwards has come up with real solutions to real problems throughout this campaign. And it should not be taken lightly that in a world where politicians are too afraid to admit they make human errors in judgment, John Edwards stood in front of the world and repudiated his own Iraq vote, without excuses. That shows a moral compass. The only candidate to refuse lobbyist money throughout his public life is John Edwards.

I say that again: The only candidate to refuse lobbyist money throughout his public life is John Edwards. Hillary talks a good game but her campaign is flush with cash from the insurance, drug, oil and gas industries. Does anyone actually believe that you can take these people's money and then not owe them a thing? If you do, please contact me, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Obama has refused lobbyist money this cycle around, and that's dandy, but it turns out that one of his NH co-chairs is a state lobbyist for big pharma. So I wasn't surprised when in the middle of an otherwise inspiring speech in New Hampshire on Tuesday, he would mention that those industries and their lobbyists will, after all, have a seat at his table, although he will make sure that "they don't get to buy every chair".
