Very interesting Kos post on Edwards vs Obama

I have to say, I agree with the Poster's synopsis. It's not that long a post and it's well worth a perusal.

Joe Trippi knows which buttons to push. The End.

I said he was planning to leave tens of thousands of troops in Iraq indefinitely. You called me a liar -- that's "red-hot rhetoric," by the way. But he is planning that, and he says so on his own website. You still haven't retracted the accusation that I'm a liar. And you still don't know what your own candidate stands for.

Richardson will leave troops in the region. I proved you wrong and you scampered away and still won't admit it.

I don't follow his plans too closely. He's not a serious contender and I don't support him.

I said Barack Obama was planning to leave troops in Iraq indefinitely. You didn't just disagree, you CALLED ME A LIAR. And I was telling the truth.

Do you really think it's ethical to call people liars when they tell the truth?

deserves more than this.

Her episode yesterday where she intentionally misrepresented Obama's health care plan is evidence enough of that.

What the Media has done here is undemocratic and set up
for A GOP WIN. That is what they wish for anyway.

Two areas in which Obama has an obvious advantage over Edwards.

Thanks for the reminder.

A positive vision for the future...

behaved exactly like the Villagers they excoriate, in the matter of Edwards vs Obama: thrilled by someone who pandered to them, but had a tremendously (liberally?) flawed record when he actually had the power to do something; this, vs Obama, who virulently opposed the war from the beginning showing exceptional judgment, has led a completely progressive-compatible life, eschewing money and working for the poor and the disenfranchised etc.

And yet, because Elizabeth and John sweet-talked them and tough-talks in the campaign, they ignore his Senate neocon/DLC record. Mitt Romney, anyone?

I will be thrilled to bits if Obama wins and wins big, because it will be the right thing to happen and because these alleged gate-crashers can wake up and see what they have become: their own worst enemies and the image of their enemies.

There. I've said it.

I think Edwards is nice enough, but we'll see when he is put under the microscope for the next month. Can't forget that he ran for VP last time. Each candidate has had a surge moment before reason set in. This is Edwards turn.
