Edwards just out classed the Obama and Clinton spokespeople on CBS
John Edwards just outclassed the two who followed him from the Obama and Clinton campaigns.
These two are just negative and arguing with each other cutting each other off. I thought I was watching two republicons sparing.

1. That is exactly as I would like to see him. That will make things
play out for us (Edwards supporters) in the long run.

I think this is JE's last foray into presidential politics unless he is named VP (or somehow wins), and currently I don't see either of the other two doing that. He can gain a stronger hand by letting them beat each other up.

He shouldn't lose his fight over the issues though.

2. Compare the questions Bob asked each... same question in different ways to Edwards
'Will you drop out?'

At least Edwards got on the air, and had the opportunity to get in a few words edgewise.

Hillary and Obama might make a major mistake to take their eyes off Edwards and engage in a fight to the death for the Nomination. It certainly worked for Kerry in 2004.

3. He got softballs, the reps of the viable candidates were asked tough questions.
It's easy to be classy when you're responding to a pat on the head and compliments.

4. Are going to drop out is a softball question?
Trying to drag him into the racial fray between Obama and Clinton is a softball?

6. Edwards is still running
Because he HAS NOTHING ELSE TO DO>
He has been running for prez for 6 years and he is a LOSER at it.
You Edwards supporters can spin it all you want.

Russ Feingold a HERO said it best.....John Edwrds HAD a chance to vote for the progressives issues and he DIDN'T.

12. Yep, sometimes it's just better to let the smack talkers talk their smack, and let the sh!t just
roll on down the hill.
