Elect this man
I mean, how many people can make being a trial lawyer sound this good. I know I got emotional.
I know my voice counts for little comparably in the Georgia primary. But you have a clear choice to make. Howard Dean started off the whole process by running against his fellow Democrats. He offered a choice instead of an echo. John Kerry, who has an impressive biography, modified Dean's approach. Kerry realized that Democratic primary voters wanted someone who would run against President Bush, instead of his fellow Democrats.
Kerry has the impressive CV, but voters focused on electability should remember that impressive biographies alone, and even when coupled with a war record, do not make a President, as Presidents Gore, Mondale and McGovern prove. In evaluating a candidate Georgians should look to the raw skills necessary to win the most votes. John Edwards has those skills. In a year when the incumbent President seems hamstrung by his base, we should seek a candidate who can win over moderates and even dissatisfied Republicans. Ours was the party of the big tent, and it should be again. Sen. Edwards has proven that he appeals to unaffiliated swing voters. Maligned as they are by liberals and conservatives alike, they are crucial to the electoral hopes of any candidate. Mr. Edwards should be that candidate.
