As John Edwards continues to try to save face, all he is doing is sticking his foot deeper into his mouth. That would be fine, if it was only he who suffered for it, but that’s not the case.
John Edwards’s fragmenting talk and press-release style of disagreement with Howard Dean will continue to scare off potential newcomers to the Democratic party. Sure, Joe Biden is in on it too, but Edwards wants to be president - nobody cares about Biden. While Edwards is busy trying to make the registered Democrats vote for him, Dean is out there busting his balls trying to get registered Republicans to vote Democrat… and succeeding.
As Andrew Sullivan runs his yap in favor of Hillary Clinton, he should really be paying more attention to Howard Dean. Dean is single-handedly rebuilding an entire political party from the ground up. He’s energizing the base, he’s finding new supporters, he’s bringing in record amounts of money, and he’s doing it all without selling his soul to corporate powers.

Dean is winning over Republicans by saying that they have not earned an honest day’s living? Gimme a break. Edwards is our best chance to win in ‘08… he got the most independent and republican votes in the primaries… he has appeal across the party line with true progressive values.

You can’t be serious. Howard Dean is shaking up the party from the ground up, and he’s only been chairman for 100 days. Hillary gives one frickin speach last week and all anybody can talk about is her chance of winning the Presidency.
Considering these two highly influential people, how can you say that a speech-impaired man who got out-debated by robo-Cheney is our last best hope in 08? Please…
