He's got my vote. I'll take the son of a mill worker over a  silver spoon goon (Bush or Kerry) anyday.

Name five differences between Kerry's policies and Edwards' policies?
 
    My point is, I'll take someone who has tasted the life of a commoner (ala Clinton and Edwards) over someone who has led a privileged life his entire life (ala Gore and Kerry).

I wouldn't call piloting boats up and down the river in Vietnam "prvileged"...dodging the draft by jumping from Texas to Alabama national guard, now that's privileged.
 
 I would never vote for anyone to be President who had not served in the military. And I mean the real military, not the weekend warrior crap. If you are put in a position were you have the power to send people to war, and their death for some, you should have to have experienced what it's like to serve so you don't take it so lightly, like certain Presidents have.

He was in the same Skull and Bones secret club as GW Bush...
 
 Kerry's childhood seems rather lonely. As a little boy, he was moved from place to place before attending a "very strict" school in Switzerland, where he was one of only three English-speaking boys. Kerry learned, at an early age, to depend on himself.

 At St. Paul's, a posh prep school in New Hampshire, Kerry was not popular. On the hockey team, he was called "Keep-the-Puck Kerry" because he didn't like to pass to his teammates as he skated toward the goal. Barging into pickup games on the school's frozen ponds, he was known for stealing the puck from younger boys and shooting it into the woods. At a Republican Episcopalian school he was a Democrat and a Roman Catholic who worshiped John F. Kennedy. The boys reportedly joked that his own initials??also JFK??stood for "Just For Kerry." (Kerry told NEWSWEEK that the nickname is "bogus," made up a few years ago by a mean-spirited Boston Globe columnist.) Prep-school boys of that era were not supposed to grasp or grind; the ideal was "effortless grace." Kerry committed the cardinal schoolboy sin of showing his ambition.
 
 The sneers "did bother John a lot," says Danny Barbiero, a classmate who was also a social outcast. "He's a lot more sensitive than he shows." Kerry's answer, says Barbiero, was: "Be better." He excelled at everything. At Yale he played wing on the soccer team (scoring three clutch goals in his last game against Harvard), was elected president of the Yale Political Union and was tapped by Skull and Bones. The last was sweet revenge: most of the preppies who made fun of Kerry would have given their trust funds to be tapped by the elite secret society.

??I still believe in an America,? he says earnestly in his Southern drawl, ??where the son of a mill worker can go toe-to-toe with the son of a president.?
 
 It??s that hook ?? the David-and-Goliath message from his working-class background ?? that has won over supporters in the Monadnock Region, who say Edwards?? man-of-the-people candidacy makes him the person to topple Bush in 2004.
 
 ??He??s a regular guy. He came from humble beginnings,? said Glenn R. Smith, an Edwards supporter from Dublin who practices law in Keene. ??I think he really cares about regular people. He??s not a blueblood like most of the other candidates. He didn??t go to Yale.?

but he lives a block away from john kerry in multi-million dollar homes in georgetown.  while edwards does come from a middle-class family, he is something just as bad as a blue-blood yankee. . .he's a lawyer.   :)
 
 there are policy differences between the two namely in free trade and education.

True, but I still think someone with humble, regular guy BEGINNINGS will be more in touch with the common people than someone who didn't.
 
    My apartment in Adams-Morgan often seems half a world away from where I grew up, but I'm willing to wager I still identify more with where I came from than most Adams-Morgan dwellers.

Cirroc: [ stepping out] It's just "Cirroc", your Honor.. and, yes, I'm ready. [ approaches the jury box ] Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'm just a caveman. I fell on some ice and later got thawed out by some of your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me! Sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me want to get out of my BMW.. and run off into the hills, or wherever.. Sometimes when I get a message on my fax machine, I wonder: "Did little demons get inside and type it?" I don't know! My primitive mind can't grasp these concepts. But there is one thing I do know - when a man like my client slips and falls on a sidewalk in front of a public library, then he is entitled to no less than two million in compensatory damages, and two million in punitive damages. Thank you.
