constitutionclub.wordpress.com: The courageous leadership of the Democratic Party

The courageous leadership of the Democratic Party Filed under: 2008 Presidential campaigns, Liberals ? E the Wise @ 7:54 am It sure was nice of John Edwards to throw his hat back into the Democratic presidential ring when he could make a difference.  Say what you want about John McCain but at least he has the guts to take stances that are risky, unpopular and move against the prevailing tide.  Not Johnny boy though!  With unwavering courage and desire for change, John Edwards waited until th...

I?ve been somehow involved with marketing for most of my life and I love to step back from my Hillary supporter self and look at the marketing aspects of this campaign. From John Edwards as the people?s champion to Hillary as the stable mother figure, I?ve bee...
