51. It's funny because
a lot of people used to argue that Edwards ripped off Kucinich.

I'm not saying that's *my* argument, I'm just reminding everyone.

Ok, so is it a rip-off of Edwards? Yes, of course it is. And that bothers me *a little*. But there's another part of me that thinks it might be a GOOD thing *if* Obama/Clinton are pushed further down the progressive end of the spectrum. If Edwards isn't going to make it, the next best thing is a candidate heavily influenced by his awesome rhetoric.

Will this ultimately translate into action and much needed change (funny how tired that word is at this point)? Well, that's another question. But before you can walk the walk you have to talk it, so it's a good first step if nothing else.
