And Edwards Makes Three

Ok so he's the fourth candidate to be considered in the race, but who really counts Vilsack? No offense to the governor, but lets be realistic. Due to an email glitch he announced a day early to keep the story straight with his staffers' snafu. Of course this can hardly be called news as most people knew he was going to throw his hat into the ring again this cycle.

From New Orleans, he released this video on YouTube to announce his candidacy. Edwards has been talking a lot about poverty and bring our Red/Blue society back towards a 'One America.' The former Senator has been criticized in the past as being too green, though this doesn't really apply anymore IMO.

With all the commotion over Obama and Clinton, it was the right time for Edwards to get the ball rolling towards 2008. The Newsweek cover from last week picturing Hillary and Obama put the media's coverage into crystal clear vision about who is being highlighted early on in the race. If I were on the Edwards campaign, I'd be steaming that John's signature smile wasn't right in the middle of the other two.

Btw, just found my picture on the Edwards site, sad to say the photographer didn't get the money shot I was hoping for.
