I give Edwards the benefit of the doubt that he was talking about the South vs. North rather than being racist. Because he just doesn't seem like a racist to me and there is a more sensible reason for what he said. I only wish you would come to the same conclusion about Obama and not smear him.

As long as we are on the issues of North vs. South, Clinton won the South with a third way Clinton DLC strategy. Carter won, as much as I love the guy, because of Nixon, and because he talked about family values in a progressive way. Johnson won because he was from the south. I think all three have a decent shot at the South, Edwards because he is southern, Obama because he has some of the same appeal as Carter, and Clinton because she is Clinton. Now the polls tell us that Edwards is struggling in his home state, let alone the south, but I am going to be honest with you, I think any Democrat can win in the south. Bush has tanked the Republican brand in the same way Nixon did. It will be hard to lose in 2008. Now stop posting attack pieces and then calling for unity. This is not an argument for Edwards strengths, of which there are many. It is a race horse argument, which doesn't say anything of value about the horse.
