The media never gave him any respect....or airtime.<BR/><BR/>And voters never really related to the poverty message...or the healthcare message in the way that Michael Moore framed it.<BR/><BR/>Americans simply don't care about poverty as much as they care about their Sunday Football, or what is happening with Britney Spears.<BR/>The only people who are concerned about issues like Poverty, the working poor, or inadequate healthcare are those who are living through it; and that represents a minority of Americans. These are also Americans who have very little economic or political influence.<BR/>That is why the politicians on both sides really don't care what happens to them.<BR/><BR/>It was funny to hear that Edwards encouraged Clinton and Obama to make poverty a central part of their campaigns....and that they agreed. What a load of bull----. <BR/><BR/>Poverty/the working poor had never been a central part of their campaigns before (or any part of their campaigns), so why in the hell would it become a central part of their campaigns now?The Angry Independenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07872444863142531165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21083673.post-86964054719351149632008-01-31T19:44:00.000-08:002008-01-31T19:44:00.000-08:00Perhaps Mr. Edwards has already been assured a spot on the ticket of the perceived front runner nominee Hilary Clinton.ruffian96http://www.blogger.com/profile/01346232799206183596noreply@blogger.com
