Another reason to like John Edwards

[theatokos]

From a food blog I read (through which I got hooked into the meat CSA I'm a part of):

Edwards on food policy

I would LOVE to vote in a president with some knowledge of big farming and the food issues in this country.

Update: Another great post on why Edwards is the best choice

I'm increasingly attracted to Edwards as a candidate. I don't want to vote for Hillary, even if its her versus Republican Candidate X (though I'd probably rethink that at poll time.) I like Obama but I'm not confident about his experience; also, he's so locked into mortal combat with Hils that I don't have a sense of what he actually cares about or where he stand on issues. Enter Edwards: intelligent; speaking to issues that SHOULD be part of our national discourse; more experienced, but young, vital, and seemingly less of a careerist; and a man who I feel actually has real family values, not the rightwing euphemism for fundamentalist christian morals and traditional gender roles. His wife also seems to share the above. My heart goes out to Kucinich but it just ain't gonna happen.

Yay! I want to like Obama, but I also find him inexperienced, although I like and trust him more than Clinton. Those two have gotten hung up on jabbing at each other, rather than getting down to real issues. I think Edwards marginality in the press so far might actually work towards his benefit in Iowa and NH: he's only got to get his message out, face to face with real people, rather than try to outwit another candidate. Whenever I hear Edwards speak he's on point, demonstrating a real depth of knowledge on the issues and recognizing the interconnectivity of those issues.

I read today that Kucinich is supporting Obama (or rather, if you don't vote for him, vote for Obama). But I also heard that Nader endorses Edwards. Pretty cool.
