Did anybody see John Edwards on "This Week" this morning?
This guy is really special. He and his cute little kids. He really cares about helping people. It was a great segment.

1. yeah, steph seemed to be nostalgic
it seemed to bring back memories of the clinton campaign for george. and edwards is special. i love his eyes and the expressions on his face at the disgusting things the chimp is doing. the clips of him at the town hall type meetings were great. and it's because of that i say nobody should write edwards off based on numbers right now.

3. Good point about Steph's "nostalgia".
He knows a winner when he sees one.

2. did you see the dean contributor try to discourage him ?
did you see that howard dean campaign contributor try to discourage edwards from running ? edwards did well with that. and so did his wife. and those little kids of his running around while he speaks is just too cute.

4. Edwards handled that beautifully. He's "cool".
Not easily shaken. And he sniffed out that Deanie but quick.

5. Edwards is an ice cube and a smart one, at that.
I am not a political expert, but when you see this guy in person, you can't help but think, "This guy needs to be President."

When he started to run here for the Senate, I was inclined to dislike him initially. I worked for a doctor and he kept telling me that Edwards was a creepy ambulance chasing liability lawyer. Then I saw his ads on TV and heard him speak and I was sold. This guy watches every word that comes out of his mouth without ever seeming to. That is important to me. Being smart is important to me. More important than being passionate or kind or any of those things. And I really think that Edwards is doing this because he wants to make a difference. When you hear him, you can easily think he is bulletproof. I swear, I think that this race is going to open up once he starts campaigning hard. I don't care who you like, you cannot deny that the man is truly impressive when he speaks.

6. I like him - I would like to see him in some position
in the administration. Before the Dean campaign took over, he was the front runner - the golden child.

7. He was never the front runner. Kerry was the frontrunner (probably
still is), Lieberman was the poll-favorite, for name-rec reasons, and now Dean is getting all the publicity.

There was a moment when everyone thought Edwards very capable of coming from behind, but Dean took that momentum beginning in March or April.

Will see how long Dead can hold on to that momentum.
