46-year old liberal in central Arkansas. Hillary Clinton is Republican-lite to me. I am a big supporter of John Edwards. I think he is speaking for the shrinking middle class and the poor in this country better than any other candidate. I like him and his wife, Elizabeth, because I believe they are genuine and because it would be nice to have a president who knows and studies the law and who has integrity. That would be REALLY nice after the last 6 years....
