Could Edwards have won?
Advertisements [?]
The thing I keep thinking about is his 'Two Americas' theme. He hit on that over and over again during the primaries, and he would have kept it up. The Kerry campaign kind of dropped it. It could have been an effective way of countering the 'gay-marriage' populism of the repigs.

Whether or not you think he could have beat Bush, Edwards has the right idea. He knows about crafting a theme that infuses an entire campaign. He knows how to frame issues.

Our party has to many god damn policy wonks, and not enough values based debators - people who know how to take policy and put it in stark moral terms - who make it seem like it's not just the sensible thing to do - but the RIGHT THING TO DO.

It's about justice, always.
