Edwards is also very likeable and charismatic. He has no negatives at all, and no skeletons in his closet either. On the issues they are very similar. The real difference is electability. Who can best win over white swing voters in places like Missouri and Ohio (plus several moderate southern states), and who can win Florida even if Bloomberg enters the race and sucks up the Jewish vote?

I think we all know the answer to that. Edwards.

I wish he would have a better border policy.
The Dem's border policy really is not fair to all the nationalities that wish to live in the U.S. And is descriminatory.

The Germans, English, Irish, Asian, African, you name it.

This afternoon Former South Carolina Governor Jim Hodges endorsed Barack Obama and became a national co-chair of his campaign. Hodges, who served from 1999 to 2003, is the only Democratic Governor the State of South Carolina has seen in last 25 years.

While in office, Gov. Hodges was a champion of public education, securing a $1 billion for new school construction in the state and establishing a statewide lottery which has sent hundreds of thousands of South Carolinians to college since 2000.

Gov. Hodges said that Barack Obama's strong commitment to public education and openness to working across party lines played a large role in his decision to endorse him:

<<..."Barack Obama is not only a candidate that excites people all over the country, but I think he represents that spirit of working together across party lines... [of getting] Democrats, Independents, and Republicans to try to work together on common problems, like making education better or solving the problems in the middle east that we face right now, and moving America forward."...>>

Howard Dean had the youth vote in 2004. They attended rallies galore and volunteered too, but didn't affect the caucuses. They probably will more this time, but they're not that reliable. The #1 most reliable voters are union types, and they're with Edwards.
