I was there and Edwards mesmerized the crowd of @4-5000. His message is straightforward, concise, and he doesn't waffle on the issues. He wants to undo the damage done both here and abroad by the Bush Administration, bring our troops home, create a healthcare program for all Americans, lift up the poor, reenergize the middle class, establish fair trade policies, and reestablish America's credibility abroad...among many other things. I believe Edwards single most impressive trait is his honesty. He tells the truth! He may not be perfect...who among us is...but he's got my vote!

Joseph Stiglitz has a recalculated estimate on the cost of Dumbya's (our) mess -- 2 trillion. Everyone, Republican, Democrat thought the waw was a great idea. Ain't gonna be any health care. The US is a failed state. Head fer the heels.

This welcome home rally, with 5000 people, was the perfect ending to a nationwide, whirlwind tour where every venue was overbooked and the crowds flowed out into the streets.
