so, I have waited through 2 repeats of Obama and Clinton on C-span--guess who I don't see?
and I heard his speech was amazing. Did I fall asleep at the wrong time?

They are determined to erase John Edwards. It's psychotic.

5. His speech was really good...
Take a look at it on Daily KOS...and MSNBC has it--believe it or not--on their site, too.

I really do think he'll "exceed expectations" by doing well in N.H. Then, Nevada and S.C. are coming up, and he has a lot of union support in the former, and was born in the latter. After all, the SCLM tried to ignore him in Iowa, and he finished second. The "Agents of Change" are ruling in the Democratic primaries this year, and those in the media with intense Hillary love/hate are having a hard time coming to grips with that. Oh, well; I guess the voters are going to have to show them the way, one more time.

What part of "No more status quo" don't those thick-headed talking heads understand?:eyes:

B-)

9. When I posted that the MSM considers the race as Obama/Clinton only
I was put under full attack by the Edwardians.
a-Hem, I say. a-Hem.

13. of course they do, we just have to fight back

12. His speech was nothing special. He just gave his standard stump speech. He didn't even
congratulate Obama.

18. Edwards is just being consistent!
He has pledged to fight Big Corpo and the Lobbyists.
You don't fight something by congratulating it.

15. nope....the big money is on the two who will maintain the status quo while
sounding "feel good" platitudes............... Edwards is the Republicans' worst nightmare. Hence the MSM (corporate) media is going to 1) ignore him; or if he starts to pull ahead, they'll 2) trash him like they did Howard Dean.

16. They're TERRIFIED of Edwards!
They need to look at his voting record and take a chill pill. He's another Clinton, campaigning like a progressive economic populist. He fell far short of that during his Senate term and likely will again.
