John Edwards 2008


John Nichols
reports, "(John) Edwards gets it. That does not mean he is the perfect contender, nor that he is the perfect progressive. But he has grown a great deal over the past several years, and that growth has been in a serious, smart and savvy direction that progressives would be wise to note at this relatively early stage in the 2008 contest."

Writing about Edwards' announcement that he will run for president in 2008, Nichols compares the candidate's policies from 2004 to now and believes, "he has a lot more to offer progressives than he did in 2004."

Jeremy Brecher and Brendan Smith believe 2006 will be remembered as the year the American people began to challenge the Bush Administration.

Jon Wiener considers the legacy of Gerald Ford: Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.

And John Nichols picks his most valuable progressives from 2006.
