John Edwards and Tort Reform
I had a chance to attend a John Edwards house visit about a month ago, at julie gilman's and came away quite favorably impressed. I had not paid much attention to him in his previous run, though I had heard favorable things about him from a couple of acquaintances. i was impressed with the fact that he kept his introductory remarks short (!), and then turned it over to the audience. He answered questions directly and forthright, and refrained from spinning the answers, which was very refreshing. He also answered a question about his career as trial lawyer, which is certainly one of my concerns, and seemed prepared to address that. His approach on healthcare seemed realistic, and i like the attention he is giving to the plight of new orleans.
I am surprised that he is not polling better at this time, though admittedly have not heard any of the other candidates speak in person so far.
