“I have watched both of these Senators who are now our presidential and vice presidential candidates on the Democratic side, and I have been very impressed with them. I really resented, I do not like to use the word, but I resented the fact that our Republican colleagues used all these labels, liberal versus conservative, rich versus poor, because I know when I listen to Senator Edwards and Senator Kerry, they are not looking at things that way, whether somebody is rich, or what somebody's ideology is. They are just looking at it practically. And I have watched what they said. I particularly want to pay notice of Senator Edwards tonight, because he is the newest person on the ticket and he is always looking at things from a practical point of view. The reason that he advocates change in the White House, and the reason I advocate change, and I think all of us do, is because we just do not like the practical impact of the policies of President Bush and Vice President Cheney, particularly as it affects the little guy.”
