John Edwards Speeches Quotations

What he does is he comes into a ticketed event, stands at the podium, delivers a speech, may shake a few hands on his way out, ... What I've been doing is I've been in people's homes, on Main Street, in cafes -- not only talking but listening. Giving speeches does not teach you what the problems are that people are facing in their lives.

One of the striking things about seeing Edwards up close is the degree of raw anger he evinces in his speeches -- and the level of anger he elicits from his audiences toward the president.
