    The thoughtful John Edwards

    John Edwards continues to demonstrate that he is a thoughtful politician, down to earth, and able to comfortably converse about things personal and public. There are no buzz words, no jargon, just straightforward plain talk, concise and understandable.

    He shows what I consider to be the proper amount of introspection (learning from past mistakes) and receptivity (openness to opposing viewpoints.)

    The chemisty between him and Elizabeth is transparent. They are a credible, intelligent couple, who would bring a refreshing candor to the White House.

    Ad multos annos!
