Edwards on the Iraq War and getting into specifics February, 2007 Iowa town hall

In this video, John Edwards talks about his proposal for ending the Iraq war and brags a little bit about the fact that he is the presidential candidate that offers the most specifics to date.

Edwards: "I'm not talking about hype and I'm not talking about fluff and I'm not talking about rhetoric.  I'm talking about exactly what I would do in a Iraq -- I've just told you, exactly what I would do in Iran -- I'll be happy to tell you, exactly what I would do about the genocide in Sudan, exactly what I would do about China, exactly what I would do about universal health care, about energy transformation, about ending poverty in America. I want every caucus-goer in Iowa to know exactly what I will stand for and what I will do as President of the United States."

State of the Union webcast January 24, 2007.

In his 30 minute response to Bush's State of the Union address, John Edwards gives his version of the State of the Union and takes questions from listeners.

Edwards: "I'm in New Orleans tonight where a year ago, the president of the United States talked about the incredible tragedy in New Orleans and our responsibility as a nation to address the problems in New Orleans and committed himself to doing what had to be done to bring the rehabilitation and change to New Orleans that was needed.  And then compare that with what he said last night in the State of the Union, which was not a single word about New Orleans.  It's all fake.  It's all theater."

Edwards at Wake Forest University Law School (Part 1) January, 2007

Edwards is interviewed about his legal career and his run for the presidency.

Edwards: "What makes a good trial lawyer is the willingness to outwork anybody on the other side, which means -- and I would add to that an emotional personal connection to those who you represent, so that it's not a detached thing, that you're very personally engaged in the cause."

Edwards at Wake Forest University Law School (Part 2) January, 2007

Edwards: "I think the single most important issue facing the next American president will be to reestablish our leadership in the world."

Elizabeth Edwards on Decency

Elizabeth Edwards: "Everyone in America who works hard deserves our respect, but too often we fail to realize that each of us is connected to the other.  Too often we fail to realize that each of us has a name, a life, a dream.  It is the first step in civility to acknowledge our fellow citizens, to use their names, to look them in the face, and to thank them for making your life not just easier, but possible."

Elizabeth Edwards on Blogging

TV and Radio shows:

Edwards on Health Care 2/26/07

Edwards explains his health care plan to New York Public Radio host Brian Lehrer.

Edwards: "Basically, the plan is built on the idea of shared responsibility.  Employers, as you point out, have to either cover their employees or pay into a fund.  The government will set up health-care markets around the country, which will provide choices to both business and individuals, if you're not employed or are a small business. Those choices include private insurers, but also include a single payer government plan, Medicare plus, so people who favor single payer, they may choose the government plan, and it could actually gravitate in that direction, depending on what people choose."

Edwards: YouTube is Good for Democracy 2/26/07

Edwards explains to Brian Lehrer why he thinks YouTube is good for democracy.

Edwards: "There's a lot out there happening on the net, including YouTube, that is outside of the control of candidates, and that is not a bad thing."

Nightline 2/26/07

This is the online edition of Nightline.

Edwards: "I don't think that incremental baby steps are enough. Now, if that's what you want, I'm not your guy.  You should be for somebody else."

Face the Nation 2/25/07

Bob Schieffer interviews John Edwards.

Edwards: "What happens is, for all of us I hope, is that we evolve, we mature.  In my case there was a lot of seasoning that's gone on, both during the last campaign, and since that time.  I've done a lot of work overseas, for example.  And I've learned.  I hope we all continue to learn.  And I don't think there's been any change in me as a human being, what my fundamental values are. You know, I still want every American to have the kind of chance that I've had, coming from a pretty modest background to having absolutely everything.  That's sort of the heart and soul of why I want to be president."

Other videos:

John Edwards on Morality and Poverty (Beliefnet)

Edwards: “If you took every reference to taking care of the least of these out of the Bible, there would be a pretty skinny Bible. And I think I as a Christian, and we as a nation, have a moral responsibility to do something about this.”

John Edwards on his beliefs about God (Beliefnet)

David Kuo: “What has it taught you about God?”

Edwards: “That God will be there when you need him. That I believe in a benevolent and merciful God. That when things seem at their worst and their lowest, he will always be there for you. That no matter what you do, he will forgive you. And it is important to ask for his forgiveness. It's important in my case to have a personal relationship with the Lord, so that I pray daily and I feel that relationship all the time. And when I'm faced with difficult decisions, which I regularly am, I very often go to him in prayer.”

Edwards on Faith in America (Beliefnet)

Edwards: “And I think one of our responsibilities, one of my responsibilities as one of the leaders of the Democratic Party, is to bridge that gap that has been created. I could go into any evangelical church in America, for instance, and talk about poverty, and our responsibility to those who are living in poverty, and get a terrific response. I am certain of that.”

Edwards on Religion in Politics (Beliefnet)

Edwards: “Faith is not a political strategy, and should not be a political strategy. If it is being used as a tool to garner votes, to convince people they should support one political party or the other, I think that is a huge mistake. I believe with every fiber of my being that God is not a Democrat or a Republican and does not support either party.”

Edwards on the Blogger Controversy (Beliefnet)

Edwards: “And when I had those conversations with both of them--and I had them and my wife Elizabeth did the same--I came away with a feeling that, number one, they did not intend to demean anyone's faith.

And number two, to the extent people read it that way--because they did use a lot of hot rhetoric, as often happens in the blogosphere--that they were sorry for that. Under those circumstances, I decided to forgive them and stand by them, knowing there would be potential political consequences for that.”

Edwards on Bush (Beliefnet)

Edwards: You know, I have to be honest about this. I no longer give him much credit. Because I feel like a lot of what the president has done has been either ideologically driven or, in some cases, ego driven. And I don't think he's been open and honest with America in the way that I believe he should have.

Edwards visits Farm Workers in Fresno March 2007

Edwards: "These are proud people, they're working people. They don't want to be the beneficiaries of gifts, they want to be the beneficiaries of their hard work and that's what they are. That's who they are in their soul."

Edwards at Wake Forest University Law School (MP3) WFDD News reports on John Edwards interview at Wake Forest University Law School

Edwards: "We ought to be dealing directly with the Iranians.  We ought to be dealing directly with the Syrians.  We ought to be pulling our troops out of Iraq..."

Edwards on the Brian Lehrer show (New York Public Radio) 2/26/07

Edwards: "Basically we've got a situation where the only resolution in Iraq, peaceful resolution, is political. The Sunni and the Shia have to reach reconciliation. The Shia have to decide to let the Sunni in, the Sunni have to agree that they are not, that they are the minority and they no longer are going to be able to run the country because they did under Saddam. The number of American troops there is not going to effect whether that occurs or not. So if we are trying to meet our moral responsibility to maximize the chances of success and peace and stability in Iraq, my judgment is the last thing we should be doing is escalating the war, enabling and propping up the ongoing bad behavior of the Sunni and Shia leaders. They've not done this yet and I don't believe they will be as long as America's there propping them up. We need to be leaving Iraq."

On Point with Tom Ashbrook 2/26/07 Wonderful Edwards interview. Here's an MP3 of the same show.

Edwards: "I honestly believe (this was the question for me internally) that this is the best way to serve my country. And there are voices in this country that are not heard, including the voices of the poor, to a large extent the voices of the middle class and working people, millions of people who don't have health care coverage, and I do want their voices be heard."

Edwards on the Brian Lehrer show (New York Public Radio) 2/26/07

Edwards: "I think energy and the issue of climate change/global warming are completely intertwined and so I like to think of them together. We have to get off our addiction to oil, we are using 22 million barrels of oil a day, and 12 million of them are imported. I think this combination of things ought to be done to deal with both those issues: One, a serious comprehensive long term investment in clean alternative sources to energy; wind, solar, bio-fuels etcetera. Second, and this goes to the callers question, it is time for Americans to be patriotic about something other than war and that means we have to be willing to conserve in the interest of our country. More fuel efficient vehicles, more conservation at home, more conservation in offices, I won't go through the details of that but we should set standards and require the meeting of those standards."

Edwards: "If we believe that everyone who is capable of working should work, then we need to make sure that they have the opportunity to do so. I believe that we should create one million `stepping stone' jobs over five years. A good job that will let people work their way out of poverty in the short term, and help them get experience so they can get better jobs in the future."

Edwards question to Ashcroft: Well, you are the attorney general of the United States. You are an experienced lawyer. I'm asking you whether you believe it is appropriate for somebody to be convicted and receive the death penalty based on 51 percent of the evidence? Do you or do you not? You, just you personally?

Articles and blogs

John Edwards: “My Faith Came Roaring Back” (Beliefnet)

Edwards: “I do believe in the separation of church and state. But I don't think separation of church and state means you have to be free from your faith. My faith informs everything I think and do. It's part of my value system. And to suggest that I can somehow separate and divorce that from the rest of me is not possible. I would not, under any circumstances, try to impose my personal faith and belief on the rest of the country. I don't think that's right. I don't think that's appropriate. But freedom of religion doesn't mean freedom from religion. And I think that anything we can do to promote the idea that people should express their faith is a good thing.”

John Edwards says "Yes" to ban on touch-screen voting by BradBlog

Bradblog: Kennedy, an activist and actress well known for her role as Dharma's mother on ABC's Dharma and Greg, told The BRAD BLOG that during a Q & A period following his address last night, she asked Edwards whether he would join PDA in their campaign calling for "the complete removal of all Touch-Screen Direct Record Electronic voting machines from U.S. elections, with or without a paper trail."

Drawing an "X" in the air as the question was being asked, Edwards --- who was reportedly upset at Sen. John Kerry's decision not to contest the 2004 Presidential Election count, or lack thereof, in Ohio --- answered with a definitive "Yes!"

"Yes!" echoed Kennedy in response as the audience reportedly cheered and applauded.

He's the man with a plan by Errol Louis (New York Daily News)

Errol Louis: "Edwards is aiming for something higher and grander, and asking us to do the same. Exactly what a man running for President ought to do."

Edwards looks to lock up union support in California (Fresno Bee)

Fresno Bee: "He came to listen to us, the farmworkers," said Angelina Zabala, a mother of six from Porterville. "I didn't think the candidates were going to take what we have to say into account but I see he wants to help. I'm thinking about voting for him."

Paul Krugman: Substance over image

Krugman: "First, what do they propose doing about the health care crisis? All the leading Democratic candidates say they're for universal care, but only John Edwards has come out with a specific proposal. The others have offered only vague generalities - wonderfully uplifting generalities, in Mr. Obama's case - with no real substance."

Raising the Bar by Ezra Klein (American Prospect, subscription only)

Klein: "Underlying the way Edwards talks, and even how he thinks, is a simple fact that is often ignored because it is so obvious: John Edwards is a trial lawyer before he is a politician. His are the highs and lows of a speaker trained on juries, not crowds; of a voice that seeks to persuade rather than to inspire. Generally, a talented politician is a masterful orator. But while a great orator seems larger-than-life, a great trial lawyer seems like he just came from your living room, possibly after watching the ballgame. And Edwards is one of the best."

Blue Oregon quotes American Prospect article

Edwards: Treaty with Iran Possible

ABC Nightline: Edwards' statement came in answer to a voter's question at a house party in Nashua Saturday morning. Asked about it later in an interview with ABC News, Edwards confirmed that he views such a treaty in which the US would promise not to attack Iran as "a possibility down the road." But he emphasized that the Iranian government would first have to change its behavior in several areas.

Edwards rejects Clintonomics by David Mizner on DailyKos February 26, 2007

(recommended diary)

Mizner: "John Edwards is doing something important. It's so important that it's eluded the attention of the political press. While pundits handicap the horserace and assess hairstyles, Edwards is quietly yet thoroughly rejecting the economic philosophy that's dominated the Democratic Party for the last fifteen years.

More important, he's rejecting it in favor of a bold progressive populism, the likes of which haven't been advanced by a serious contender for the White House in a long time."

JCU chapter of One Corps Growing Stronger February 15, 2007

Tom Haren: "One Corps is an organization started by John Edwards that is based around the philosophy that if we want to see change, then we have to go out and actually start changing something."

U.S. News: The Evolution of John Edwards February 18, 2007

U.S. News: "The problem is whether his new message of dramatic change will catch on, and that will depend on whether fellow Democrats are in a take-no-prisoners mood when the presidential primaries and caucuses start next January. Certainly, the ongoing debate in Congress over the Iraq war adds resonance to Edwards's outrage about the conflict and, more broadly, fuels his newfound frustration with the status quo. "I am the candidate of big, fundamental change," he told U.S. News."

David Mixner comments on latest Iowa poll February 25, 2007

Mixner: "The latest Strategic Vision Poll gives us the first look at the Iowa primary race after formal announcements and swings through the state by both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. After dropping in early February polls, John Edwards has swung back into the lead by six points. This movement is especially significant given the heavy Obama/Clinton media coverage."

AP article about NH town hall February 24, 2007 Voters are impressed with Edwards.

AP: State Rep. Jeff Fontas, D-Nashua, said he wasn't that interested in supporting Edwards before Saturday.

"But he came and gave this brilliant speech," said Fontas, who was impressed with the appearance of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill, weeks earlier. "He voted for the war. But his apology brought light to his ideas to fix it."

Reuters: Edwards plays up differences with Clinton February 24, 2007

A Woman in the White House by Linda Milazzo at HuffPost. Feminist blogger explains why the woman she wants to see in the White House in 2008 will be Elizabeth Edwards or Michelle Obama.

Milazzo: "And along with John, give America a truly great woman for the White House. Give us his wonderful wife, Elizabeth Edwards, who will instill in the White House the humanity and warmth it has lacked for so long. The Edwards are a masterful couple. They've weathered unfathomable personal tragedy with dignity, humanity and grace. Characteristics America sorely needs to restore its image at home and abroad."

Mother Jones: John Edwards Serves Notice at the First Democratic Party Candidate's Forum

Sasha Abramsky: "The second revelation was the Bobby Kennedy-esque presence of Edwards. Clinton's body language is supremely confident--but it comes off as somehow forced, almost overacted. John Edwards, by contrast, is a natural performer. In 2004, Edwards seemed charismatic, yet somehow not fully formed. This time around, there is nothing raw or inexperienced in his presentation: he establishes an instant rapport with his audience, his answers are passionate, and he exudes a command of his subject. When he fields questions from the press, his eye contact is almost hypnotic. When he talks about the issues he cares about most--poverty, Iraq, healthcare--he creates the same sincere-yet-not-pontificating aura that Bill Clinton mastered 15 years ago."

Concord Monitor: Edwards offers specifics aplenty

Concord Monitor: "Yesterday, there was no campaign music or "town hall" discussion. There was no podium. Just John Edwards in a button-up shirt, squeezing through a packed living room in Nashua, standing on a chair to see over a crowd in a Concord home and talking in front of a Salem fireplace to people sitting cross-legged on the rug about the policy initiatives he's honed since he began his campaign in 2003."

Edwards: Labor's Darling? The Fix by Chris Cillizza, WaPo (2006)

Quote: "He has done more than any elected official or public persona to support our union efforts to organize ... since he left office," said Chris Chafe, Unite Here's chief of staff.

Time: Trying to Make a Decent Living (2006) While not exclusively about Edwards, this article does discuss his participation in a campaign for a living wage.

Quote: "The perception exists that [a living wage] is not a politically popular subject, and that people in general aren't interested in it," Edwards says. "But my feelings now on the subject are stronger than they've ever been. You can't live on $6, $7 or $8 an hour and have anything to fall back on. Instead of getting ahead, which most families want to focus on, they're focused on survival."

John Edwards Throws His Support Behind Home Health Union (2006)

Quote: "They're not asking to get rich, they're just asking to not live in poverty. They're asking to make enough money to support their kids, and support their families. And as long as I'm alive and breathing, I will be with them every step of the way," says Edwards.

Edwards, Hoffa rally for UM janitors (2006)

Quote: ''When I hear of a group of courageous workers engaged in a historic struggle, it is important to me to show that I am with them,'' Edwards told more than 100 people gathered at the strikers' campsite along South Dixie Highway in Coral Gables. ``I am with you in every step of this struggle. No American should be working full time and still living in poverty.''

Edwards campaigning against poverty (local paper from Iowa, 2005)

Quote: "How 'bout we go out with a passion and backbone for what we believe," Edwards said. "We need to fight for the people we've always fought for. We don't need to be shifting and jiving to meet what the polls yesterday said or what the focus group said."

Associated Press: John Edwards fights for Hawaii hotel workers (2006)

Quote: "Many of these men and women are working two jobs ... so their children can live decent lives," Edwards said. "There's so much at stake in these negotiations."

Labor Movement Is Best Antipoverty Program In United States, Edwards Says (2006)

Quote: "I believe in a Democratic Party of big ideas," Edwards said. "I believe in a Democratic Party that actually has a backbone and courage and strength that will go out there and fight for the people we have always fought for. I believe in a Democratic Party that's not afraid of saying the word 'union'."

Edwards criticizes both parties at Las Vegas union meeting (2006)

Quote: "It's time for the Democratic Party to go back and embrace the union movement, the organized labor movement," he said, bringing the audience to its feet. "I hear it from Democratic politicians, you know, 'what our party needs to do ... we need occupy the political center, we need to be more appealing to more people.' Well, how about if we show some backbone and guts and actually fight for the people we've always fought for."

Edwards, Miller Honored at AFL-CIO Organizing Summit (2006)

Edwards: I have great personal admiration for Paul Wellstone and the way he courageously stood up for workers' right to organize. The right to organize is essential if we are going to save our middle class.

2004 New York Times article: Stanford study shows well-informed voters trended toward Edwards

New York Times: Over the next five weeks, as Mr. Kerry built up momentum among both real-life primary voters and the control group in the experiment, Senator John Edwards enjoyed the biggest surge in the well-informed test group, which was won over by his personal traits as well as by his policies, notably his protectionism on trade. Besides appealing to the Democrats in the test group, Mr. Edwards did better among the group's independents and Republicans, and he emerged as the strongest candidate against Mr. Bush.

TESTIMONIALS FROM SUPPORTERS

DaphneC writes letter to the editor to say why she's registering as a Democrat for the first time so she can vote for John Edwards

DaphneC: "I am not a leader of business. I am not a politician. I am not even a registered Democrat. I am simply a private citizen who, after paying my bills, has $85 left to buy groceries for a family of two. It has been a very, very long time since I've seen a candidate who I believed understood what it means to be a working-class American. (Maybe that's because John Edwards grew up as a working-class American.) That is why I will be registering as a Democrat, so that I can vote in the Democratic primaries. That is why I will be volunteering for the Edwards campaign, and doing my best to make it possible for you to meet this man in person so that you can judge him for yourselves. That is why I'd like to invite you to visit his website at JohnEdwards.com, and to watch his appearance on Face the Nation (in five minutes, here on the East Coast!). And that is why I hope you will join with me in registering for the Democratic primaries, even if you have, like me, never before registered as a Democrat, and casting a vote for John Edwards as our presidential nominee for 2008."
