A Web 2.0 Candidate? circa 2008...

Another has thrown their hat in the ring. I honestly thought this was the strongest candidate on the democratic side this last time around, but it will be interesting to see if John Edwards can pull away from 'the machine' and really be the one. As is normal in politics these days.... it's all if you can raise the dough. He's also the earliest one to get all Web 2.0 on us. I'm sure the rest of the candidates on both sides will be all myspaced up and facing the book once they've hired their 14 year old nephews as special advisor to the digital world.

Former Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards announced today in New Orleans that he will campaign for president. In his comments, he stressed "personal responsibility" for Americans to take action against poverty, global warming and other issues. He urged stronger governmental leadership in stopping "huge atrocities" in Northern Uganda, where he recently visited. "We said after Rwanda we'd never let anything like this happen again," he said. "Well, it's happening right now. America needs to lead"
