    Both Clinton and Edwards appeal to me . . .

    as candidates who are concerned with social and economic justice. Hillary Clinton has long worked on children's issues -- which is a particular interest of mine, and Edward's populist sensibility tells me that he will never forget the poor.

    Of the three that the media most covers, Clinton, Obama, and Edwards, it is clearly Senator Clinton who has the most experience. I worry about the corporate investment in Clinton's campaign, but the reality is that no one can win without having raised an obscene amount of money. I would love to hear more about what they will do to make elections fair again. I won't hold my breath.
