Andrew, thanks for the balanced piece on Edwards. It's very much appreciated in our household.

What a shame the pollsters dropped Edwards from their head-to-head matchup polling. As Ms. Sharpe's comments show Edwards appeals to voters across Party lines. I think the pollsters are really doing a disservice to voters by excluding him. This is a three person race so only giving the voters the information on Obama & Clinton is ridiculous. I guess the only way to show them we don't like what they're doing is to just refuse to even participate in anymore of their polls. .

So now John Edwards – smarmy, whiney, two Americas Edwards – is the grown up one. Based on one performance? Fact of the matter is, he’s been addressed less and less because he’s got less heat than Senators Clinton and Obama. That, and his Robin Hood, I’m for the poor guy act is a joke. Reminds me of the main character from a picture by Elia Kazan, “A Face in the Crowd”. Just like the main chracter in that picture, John reeks on incicerity that would seemingly only sell in certain quarters.

That’s savvy I suppose – he knows how to pitch it to the ones that brung him. Yet he’s…so oily, he makes Tom Delay look like John Danforth.

The way I see it is as follows:

>Romney has no principles whatever

>MCCain has principles, but gave them up to be president

> Huckabee doesn't know much, and has a flim-flam deal going with populism and the "fair" tax

>Obama is the new hotshot --long on style, short on the real deal

> Hillary Clinton is a gutter fighter. It's not that she doesn't care aboit anything but winning,

--she just doesn't care about anything MORE than winning

>Edwards actually has apoint. He remembers that this country was --and could be again -- a

much better place to live. He probably can't win. But his ideas may make a difference --just

because he won't be bowed.

I believe a brokered convention is a distinct possibility, and a fortunate historical opportunity. the Democratic Party cannot turn its back on the possibility it can achieve a filibuster-proof Senate if its nominees in the South, Midwest, and Great Plains states are buoyed by Edwards' Rooseveltian coattails.
