The following article from the Independent Weekly I found to be pretty
interesting... It talks about how John Edwards is the only candidate
currently actually discussing and taking a stance on ISSUES.  In the long
run, that may or may not be good for his candidacy, but I think it's
somewhat refreshing in an era where most politicians would rather not talk
about "issues"... taking a stance on anything can turn potential voters
against you - especially a divisive issue.

Anyway, here's the article link.... and follows is the first few paragraphs
of the article if you're too lazy to click =)

 About this time in the last presidential campaign cycle,
 a year before the '04 Iowa cau-cuses and New Hampshire
 primary, I remember hearing then-U.S. Sen. John Edwards
 speak in Raleigh—and con-cluding that his candidacy was
 issue-free.

 What a difference four years makes.

 This time, a year before the 2008 vote starts, Edwards
 is the issues candidate. Not Hillary Clinton, who must
 see "issues" as the only way she can lose. And not
 Barack Obama either, since his election, like Hillary's,
 would be plenty of "issue" all by itself.

 Ironically, therefore, in a field featuring a possible
 first woman president and a possible first African
 American, white-guy Edwards' campaign remains afloat
 for the simple reason that he is the one offering the
 most concrete set of policy changes.
