Seems like I’m not the only one to take Time‘s accolades seriously, John Edwards has announced he’s running for president in 2008 – via YouTube. To wit:

I thought Edwards made a great potential VP in 2004, his debate with Cheney being a timeless example of youth and idealism versus age and… pure evil? I’m definitely digging what he emphasizes here also (expanding health care, raising the minimum wage, combating genocide and rejecting the ‘surge’ in Iraq). 2007 will definitely be an interesting year.
