I have to admit, he has to get tough. Nice guys don't win, not in this country!

If Edwards is going to hire feminists, he better get his position on reproductive rights clear. If he is not going to hire feminists he should become a republican.

I am Irish Catholic, but I in no way support the churches position on contraception and abortion, because I know bans on contraception and abortion kill women. Such bans kill them in ugly ways too. A 13 year old teenager dying of uremia or septacemia because the bans denied her medical options is never seen on the right wing biased media.

Don't confuse the catholic peoples vote with the churches position. The church has always been more conservative than it's members. That is how an organization lasts for, plans for, centuries, by being conservative and moving slowly. The members of the church can't wait that long for change, we only live for decades. We need to be progressive.

Mr. McCarthy, I couldn't agree with you more and hope that there are more like you out there. Having no religion, this does not influence my pro-choice views, but it is good to see someone treating their faith as a living and evolving perspective.
Re Edwards: he seems like a phony person to me and always has so it doesn't surprise me that he isn't able to unleash himself from concerns about the radicals.
