As most of you have figured out by now: I have taken a special interest in the 2008 US Presidetial campaign.

I have been following a mister John Edwards and been impressed by his agenda. Here are some thoughts borrowed from Jim Wallis.

John Edwards ended his campaign this afternoon at the same place he started it and with the same theme—ending poverty as a moral imperative. In the Ninth Ward of New Orleans, Edwards said that he was stepping aside in this presidential campaign, but that he would now continue his life-long work for economic justice. Before announcing his decision, he called both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to ask for a pledge to make ending poverty central to their campaigns for president and to their presidencies if they are elected.
