John Edwards Will Kick Your Ass

It's been two weeks since I last attended an Edwards event, and I immediately noticed something new: For some reason he was wearing a smart-looking suit and tie last night rather than his usual blazer and blue jeans combo. Maybe just another sign we're getting down to business here...

More substantively, to pick up on something Mike mentioned, he spent a lot of time taking thinly-veiled swipes at Obama, not much time taking similar swipes at ... Full Story »

Your little Edward's lovin' heart is going pitter patter with this piece. It's like a concession stand on the midway, serving up sweet, gooey crap. Sure doesn't seem like news.

Not much here. Edwards is unveiling a new campaign persona as a scrapper, to contrast with Obama's persona as a conciliator and Clinton's persona as the one who knows best. Good luck.

Repeating what Edwards said, with little verification or commentary, is the useless way most media covers campaigns and elected officials. I hope that it will eventually change.

More part of the problem than part of the solution. What is the fascination with this damaged process.

Scheiber says Edwards is getting tough at this point in the campaign. He goes on about it to make it seem important and interesting, but doesn't hide his bias. So I shouldn't hide mine; I don't trust the conservative New Republic.

Another good look at Edwards and his ability to compete with the two former front runners. Can't wait to see the lineup after the first couple of primaries.

The article is an opinion piece mostly about the writer's impressions of a perceived Edwards shift in tone. Lightly informing interesting reading. At least someone is covering Edwards.

Edwards is as phoney as Mud Pie Ice Cream. He has made his fortune as a trial lawyer and it is odd he didn't offer to act as that woman's lawyer. Now I think he is trying for the number two slot yet again. He doesan't like or interact with the "ordinary" American neighbors near his luxury mansion. What makes anyone believe anything he says about "two Americas?"
