In his Own Words: Why John Edwards can't endorse Hillary

Truer words were never spoken (during this nomination process).

This is nothing but a string of platitudes.

*Every* Presidential election is about this nonsense meme of "change".

Bush Jr. was the "change" candidate offering a post-partisan way out of the manufactured bleak nightmare of the Bill Clinton years. Reagan was the "change" candidate to take us away from the manufactured bleak nightmare of the Carter years. And Obama (well, in this clip it's Edwards) is the "change" candidate to get us out of the actual nightmare of the Bush Jr. catastrophe.

"Change" is nonsense. Yes, a lot of us would like to see a whole lot of change here in the states, but to think that any one of these people would offer anything substantial one needs to know nothing about our body politic. Change doesn't happen in huge brush strokes (ok, maybe bad things can), but rather through incremental policy shifts.

volumptuous, I think the change Edwards is talking about is moving away from the influence of corporate giants, the military industrial complex, big oil, big pharma and the financial elite. Reagan, the Bushes and the Clintons were/are all very much entrenched within these corrupt factions.

It remains to be seen whether or not Obama will fight them or join them, but so far, his language has been more progressive than we've ever seen from a nominee, which is very hopeful. Cross your fingers.
