What really bugs me the most

I have watched John Edwards run the type of campaign I'd like all candidates to have to run but in doing so he's highlighted the problems we face in getting others to do it to. John Has not taken big money in his campaign. He's said no to the big money lobbyists on capital hill and ran his campaign on matching funds, the way all campaigns should be run but at the risk of not getting his message out.
This is sad. I bristle when I here this or that candidate has X amount of money and that should get them elected. This is a sad indictment of or election process, as if it needed help. I see a man like John Edwards, on the stump day in day out, and still they don't give him a chance that tells me somethings wrong. He has the clearest message and the biggest contrast of any of the candidates. He is a true liberal in the mold of FDR, he sees what the problem is and has a plan to fix it.
Another is this sudden attitude by the Clinton camp that the "Boys are Picking on Hillary". I'm sorry but the President is a gender neutral position. If you want the office you've got to step up to the plate, there will be far more heat applied once in office and if this is intimidating then she doesn't need to be running for the office. John has had some pointed questions but questions that need to be answered, and he has every right to bring them up. I respected and defended Bill Clinton but of late I'm seeing things that I just don't like from either of them. John is far more forthcoming and honest about what he will do in office and I trust the guy.
I do think things are happening. With the revelations that Hillary planted questions, the field is starting to bunch up. I truly believe that once the smoke clears John will triumph in Iowa and New Hampshire.
