Come on Edwards, get past this petty attack, I want you to be a viable candidate not a talking head. What would you do to change it? Put out a position paper, attacking another democrat will not get my vote, issues not attacks, don't be a republican clone.&lt;br&gt;Marty, you may not like Clinton but she is a damn good politician, that doesn't make her a demon. I am unhappy with a lot of what has come out of her campaign, I blame the political heads around all the candidates, this is a very different election. More truth as to what they will do will help make this a good election. Lets speak up and tell them. if you have time to blog this spot you have time to bitch dirrectly to the candidates, lets all do that, it may change them from doing more of the same.</description></item><item><title>Edwards' target No. 1: Hillary</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/30/438803.aspx#438892</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Oct 2007 22:20:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:438892</guid><dc:creator>FACT  / AZ</dc:creator><description>WHY WOULD AMERICA WANT AN EXISTING SELF SERVING FAILED PAPER HANGER AS THE NEXT PRESIDENT??&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Self serving agenda is not a leadership trait.

On campaign finance reform, he has proposed that donations up to $100 be matched 8 to 1 and donations be capped again at $1000 per head. That way an ordinary couple would be able to donate (100 + 800 x 2 = 1800) as much as a wealthy lobbyist (1000 + 800 match = 1800).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Up and down the line, Edwards has proposed the most detailed positions, often (as in the case of health care and higher education) quickly parrotted by Clinton. Look at www.johnedwards.com and click on issues.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you're upset about not enough issues, you certainly can't blame Edwards.</description></item><item><title>Edwards' target No. 1: Hillary</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/30/438803.aspx#439071</link><pubDate>Wed, 31 Oct 2007 00:12:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:439071</guid><dc:creator>Bill, NY</dc:creator><description>All the fellas want a piece of Hillary...lmao</description></item><item><title>Edwards' target No. 1: Hillary</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/30/438803.aspx#439081</link><pubDate>Wed, 31 Oct 2007 00:27:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:439081</guid><dc:creator>Kevin Grammer, Columbus, Georgia</dc:creator><description>I will be really disappointed in fellow democrats if we elect Hillary over Edwards.

We are the biggest losers for living with out cable or living without cable because of the rural area we live in. NBC and all the three big networks should hide in shame for providing crappy games shows and luke warm re-dos of old shows with different faces. The executives should get off their lazy butts and make some changes in their attitude on what we americans really want to see. I'm even tired of sports and news coverage. The morning infocrapment shows are just so ignorant as to who is available to watche their show, high priced garbage teenage clothes and the latest technorage and how to dress your dog for Halloween. Are you kidding me, this is what we want to watch? And I want to know why you have to spend millions to send one of your talking heads to the antartic?
