John Edwards is pretty good looking. (As a matter of fact, in 2000, People magazine named Edwards the sexiest politician alive.)
He is also an incredibly attractive candidate and, this time around, he's packing quite a punch.
Following are three excerpts from his response to President Bush's State of the Union Address:
1. Instead of increasing the number of troops in Iraq, we should immediately withdraw 40–50,000 troops... Since the President refuses to change course, Congress must use its power of the purse and block funding for an escalation of war. Over 80,000 people from across the country have joined me in calling on Congress to stop President Bush's misguided plan to escalate the war. Congress has the power to stop this escalation — they should use it.Well, I can't argue with that.
(Click here to see the note Edwards sent to Congress. If you look really closely, you will see my name.)
2. The time for patching up our health care system has ended. We need universal health care in this country and we need it now.(Senator Clinton, on the other hand, has proposed "affordable" health care. Let me be the first to tell you: "Affordable" is not the same as "Universal.")
3. In order to curb our dependence on foreign oil and address global warming, the United States needs a major investment in energy innovation, on a scale that this President isn't talking about. We need to ask Americans to be patriotic about something other than war and involve everyone — government, industry, and individuals — in the solution.He is back. And he's back with a vengance.

I too like him best of the Democrat bunch. BUT.
from Variety
The aggressively photogenic John Edwards was cruising along, detailing his litany of liberal causes last week until, during question time, he invoked the "I" word -- Israel. Perhaps the greatest short-term threat to world peace, Edwards remarked, was the possibility that Israel would bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. As a chill descended on the gathering, the Edwards event was brought to a polite close.
Support for Israel in the U.S. has lately become bafflingly multi-cultural, representing an alliance between diaspora Jews, traditional Zionists and evangelicals. Support from Christian zealots, who now represent about one third of Israel's tourist business, is welcomed even though, according to evangelical doctrine, Judgment Day will bring the ultimate destruction of Israel and death to most of its residents.
The Economist observed this week that "knee jerk defensiveness" of Israel ultimately will erode support for that country around the world, even among Jews. Only 17% of American Jews today regard themselves as "pro-Zionist," the magazine points out, and only 57% say that "caring about Israel is a very important part of being Jewish." And Jimmy Carter only exacerbates these mixed signals with his recent perorations that Israel must "give back" territories to the Palestinians.
Given that the Christian Right and neo-conservatives in this country seem more obsessed with Israel than the Jewish community, the "I" word is becoming a potentially lethal component of today's political dialogue.
oh wait, and this from AP
John Edwards' presidential campaign wants to make it clear that he does NOT consider Israel a threat to world peace.
A spokesman for the 2008 Democratic candidate issued a statement today denying such a report on Variety-dot-com.
Columnist Peter Bart reports that Edwards told a Hollywood fundraiser last month that the possibility that Israel would bomb Iran's nuclear facilities is perhaps the greatest short-term threat to world peace.
Edwards' spokesman Jonathan Prince says the article is erroneous. He says Edwards says one of the greatest short-term threats to world peace is Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon.
Bart says Variety stands by its report. The host of the fundraiser, Adam Venit of the Endeavor talent agency, didn't respond to a message seeking comment.
