John Edwards on universal health care
On fighting the special interests [for-profit insurance companies, for example]: "You can never join them. You just have to beat them."
On setting a deadline for universal health care: "There is no excuse for the President, and for the Cabinet and for members of Congress to have health care when America doesn't have health care."

Well, OK, Edwards is pretty impressive, too. I'm beginning to feel a bit better about the Democratic field. (Well, with one exception, and I really want to like her too...)
This is the first time I've heard Edwards be that blunt about beating 'em, not joining 'em. But as Molly Ivins used to say, God is in the details. I need to do more reading.
i know what you mean. i want to like her too.
Oh, I just noted this quote on the Edwards blog:
-------------
Edwards added that he was not in favor of electronic voting machines and, as president, he "would want to lead an effort to get us back to paper ballots."

Hear, hear!
