    I certainly hope he hasn't, after McCain he is my favourite candidate. He is a strong unifier with the intellectual integrity to apologise and admit his mistake in voting for the war.

    Man you are all over the place in your politics.

    You do know that Edwards is probably the most left leaning of the candidates at the moment?

    I used to think that, and perhaps he is on economics (anti-Nafta, pro welfare, universal health care, etc) but he's shown himself more conservative on some social issues. I'd call his position populist more than leftist

    If thats related to me it might be because i don't ever confine myself to that nonsense except when irratated and trying to use the word left like an insult.

    this would be best for obama as Edwards supporters were more anti-war than Clinton. Also Obama would be more left leaning like edwards.
