John Bel Edwards

Not so fast, George Bush. You don't get to decide who our nominee is.

His life spent fighting consumer issues, his life spent fighting for the little guy. I've spent a great deal of my life doing the same thing.

I have talked about building one America that works for everybody. Not just for the privileged few.

While we are all Democrats, there are very real differences among us.

It would be a shame if the people of Maryland couldn't hear John Edwards and John Kerry debate here in the state of Maryland.

I have enormous respect for him. I think he has been a real force and a positive force in this campaign.

I'll go anywhere in America we need to go to debate these issues.

Let me tell you the last thing we need in the south, is somebody like you coming down and telling us what we need to do. That's the last thing in the world we need in the south.

This is a moral issue and it's about what's right and wrong.

I was against NAFTA and some of the trade agreements that he was for. And I think that cost us millions of jobs.

... to stand up for protecting our jobs, making sure we have a trade policy that works for everybody.

We've had enormous energy and excitement around this campaign over the last several days.

I need you to leave this place and continue to work, as all of us will, until the polls close today.

There is a difference. There is a choice for Wisconsin voters on this issue. I mean, I'm against NAFTA, I was against NAFTA. Governor Dean and Senator Kerry were for it.

I think most presidential primary voters are making their own independent decisions.

Now that he's out of the race, I think a lot of voters will be attracted to me, because they know I'm the one person left in this race who has won a tough race in the south.

This is a guy that can beat George Bush every place in America, in the north, in the west, in the Midwest and talking like this in the south.

This is a man who campaigned for the last week, indeed for the last two weeks, saying, I'm a southerner. I can win here in the south.

This is not George Bush's backyard. This is my backyard.

That's who's leaving the White House come November.

I strongly disagree with the notion that the 1964 Civil Rights Act clearly made it legal for faith-based groups in America to accept millions, and now in this case billions of Federal dollars, and say, We are not hiring you because you are…

I think there is a real serious question about suggesting that Title VII said it is perfectly okay for a faith-based group to take Federal tax dollars and say, ``Mr. Boehner, I am not hiring you today because you do not pass my personal…

I do not like this rule because it allowed a bill to come to the floor that I find deeply offensive to the First Amendment protection of religious freedom. But if this was an issue important enough for Madison and Jefferson to debate for…

I would be glad to yield some time to have a discussion on the issue of whether a group should be able to say with tax dollars that we are not hiring Jews or we are not hiring Catholics in this job training program or education program…

The bottom line is this is a very fluid race. It looks like it's narrowed down to two or maybe three candidates.
