1. populist will get those beyond the base...

left populism is a proven American campaign strategy, populism against the wealthy, against the corporations, for the little guy, etc.

For that Edwards is perfect.

It gets support in areas that some usually identify as "centrist" and it also fires up the traditional base as well.

The death knell would be for the Dems to follow a DLC, Repub-lite strategy. No reason to vote Dem if the Dems stand for the same thing as the Repubs...
