Old Roads Picks a Candidate for '08

January 21, 2007

With the rash of campaign announcements it is hard not to start looking ahead to the presidential campaign of '08. Another reason for our early attention to '08 is the continuation of dangerous trends in the Bush administration.. from escalation of the war in Iraq and a seeming willingness to begin a conflict with Iran.. to domestic policies that weaken our individual rights and increase inequality.

Old Roads has decided to endorse the presidential candidacy of John Edwards. Three issues stand out for us as deciding factors:

Further, we respond to Edwards' call for involvement now. For us that does not mean door-to-door political activism.. but it will mean a willingness to stand for something in the forums that are open to us.. such as this blog. Beyond advocacy for a specific candidate we are going to look for ways to pitch in and help form a fresh vision of who we are as Americans.
