It's fine, so far as it goes. That Obama needs to add more substance is a given. But this story, like most of the MSM coverage, suffers from two-candidate myopia. John Edwards, as just about everyone concedes, has been the leader, for at least a year now, in promoting ideas and programs of real substance. But his ideas get no coverage (until they're adopted by one of the "two candidates"!), with the result that 25 percent of respondents to last week's NY Times/CBS poll said they "didn't know enough" about him to make a choice. (The corresponding numbers for Clinton and Obama were 2 and 8 respectively.) It takes ideas, yes. It also takes somebody paying attention.
