Edwards Announces

Finally! Something more exciting than endless lists of Exploratory Committees. Today, December 28, John Edwards announced he is running for president. He did it in an unusual place, New Orleans' Ninth Ward, which was completely destroyed during Hurricane Katrina. Edwards pledged to do five things:
  • Guarantee everyone health care
  • End Poverty
  • Lead the Fight Against Global Warming
  • Breaking the American and World Addiction to Oil
  • Providing Moral Leadership: Starting with getting out of Iraq
These will work very well in Iowa, where Edwards is loved and "Oil addiction" is code for "ethanol production". Iowa is made of corn, so naturally he does well there.
