      john edwards apparently is cousin thrice removed from my best pal kurt and he did have the right ideas (as a former member of the harvard neocons for freedoM) in criticizing neocons crap but too bad he wasn't a Marine.

      Leo Hindery is an out and out fraud. He told the employees of Global Center he would take care of us. He then sold out and made 250,000,000 and left everyone holding the bag.

      If he had a conscience, he would send every employee a check but no he'd rather spend it on racecars.

      If this is the guy that John Edwards picked then I wouldn't even consider supporting him.

      When the 2004 race came around to our area, I went to and listened to Senator Edwards. I felt that he has the correct stances and ideas for my economic and psycological future. After watching this broadcast I have reinforced my faith and will support Senator Edwards through to the 2008 election.

      John Edwards has been my man since 2004. It was clear to me from his extended stump speeches during the 2004 campaign that he was a leader, capable of clearly articulating strong positions, and well, just very, very smart.

      After hearing Edwards' economic policy adviser, Prof. Leo Hindery, I'm sold. His explanation of the debate on taxing the income of hedge fund managers as ordinary income (35% marginal tax rate) vs. capital gains (15% marginal tax rate) was masterful.

      It is appalling to me that there is such blatant unfairness in our tax code. Hindery explained that the reason for taxing hedge fund managers at the capital gains rate was there was more inherent financial risk in managing these portfolios.

      In reality, most hedge fund management positions have so reduced the risk inherent, that their job description is more akin to a money manager at a mutual fund or brokerage house.

      Appalling that the current administration just looks for ways to make the rich skirt its tax obligations.

      It's not about soaking the rich, it's about having the rich hedge fund managers pay their fair share.

      Edwards in 2008!

      Leo Hindery was totally amazing, and it was a great discussion. I found it curious that even Senator Daschle kept mentioning that John Edwards was the innovative thinker. More of Leo Hindery please. What a wonderful clear and articulate intellect. I am for John Edwards now and unofficially because Leo Hindery has been entrusted with this important role.
