Sorry, but no.

"If we do the work that we can do in this country, the work that we will do when John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve will get up out of that wheelchair and walk again," Edwards said."

"IF we do the work in this country..."

Which means, the research work we, as a nation, are capable of.  The proper funding of all medical research,.  "IF" 

We= the nation,

Do the work..

" the work that we will do when John Kerry is President"

A continuation of that same thought, funding research, in this instance stem cell as CR advocated for.

"people like Christopher reeve will get out of that wheelchair and walk again."

Yes..again note "IF WE DO the work this country is capable of"

He is not promising a cure...he is not saying if Kerry is elected quads will walk...Words have meaning..,..how can anyone, yes anyone, not understand this sentence?  He is saying, we as a nation can find cures, but only so long as research is allowed...

How many illnesses have been cured, by good ole US of A research?

 

The general public can identify with CR ..moreso than if  he said a quadriplegic will get out of their chairs and walk."  How many AB's know what being a quad is? yet, they can make the basic connection if CR is used as the example. Which is what Edwards did.

Looks like I was right.
"Will" in the context he used it. Yes I was being a bit sarcastic.
I may have paraphrased, but it was accurate.
BTW it is time to start up "the Apathetic" party.
We could really get out the vote.
However, there is a little problem with global terrorism that needs to
be eradicated first.
I have no faith in a man who wants to run on his military record but
refuses to release it.
Bush inherited a lot of trouble.
Had we not gone into Iraq, the O.F.F. Scandle might not have been
uncovered.
I'm not surprised France got caught with their hand in the cookie jar,
along with Germany, Russia, China, and the head of the UN's O.F.F.
These are the people komrade kerry wants for allies.
Of course what can one expect from the ONLY US servicman honored in the
Vietnam Communist mueseum.
