Perceptive analysis by an activist with credentials. If my choice, Dennis Kucinich(sp), must bow out of the campaign, Edwards would be my second choice.

Finally a little positive press about a candidate who is running his own campaign without big-money endorsements. John Edwards is by far the best choice for Pres., just check out his speeches on his website. I just worry that since he isn't in anyone's pocket that the power machine that runs our government will run him over should he be elected.

John Edwards is the ONLY candidate that has put the peoples concerns before the corporations. An Edwards/ Kucinich ticket would turn America around 360 degrees from the corporate fascism that we face today. Only Edwards had the balls to say that he would challenge Congress to form a universal health care plan in 6 months or he would strip Congress of its' health care benefits that we, the taxpayers pay for.

I don't question Glover's credentials, he's genuine enough but I do question the contention of one here, who refers to Edwards as the only one who has gone after the corporations. If Kucinich hasn't led that fight, I don't know who has, or from what source you get your news.

Why, on the basis of one man's opinion, would anyone take a fall-back position on Kucinich. If Kucinich is your choice, say so by voting for him, don't make him second best on the basis of celebrity opinion.
If he displays the characteristics you deem desirable in a president, you owe him your vote, or else the whole procedure becomes farcical as we sink further into the cult of personality.
I genuinely admire Glover and Edwards but in stacking positions on all issues, I find only Kucinich to be worthy of my vote. Of course, I'll be in the minority, as I was in voting for Nader but my vote will represent my judgement and not that of anyone else.
I do feel that if more people voted their convictions instead of responding to the major parties and their lies about no one but their choice having a chance to win, we'd have a better representation of the actual popularity of candidates like Kucinich and Nader.
Celebrity is fine, although I feel it is all too easily conferred in this country, but it should never substitute for the responsibility of the individual citizen to think and act for himself. That is the essence of self-governance and without it, we are in fact, no better than sheep.

It is great to see so many celebs giving a positive message, and helping motivate others to take action against poverty!
