Reply #16: I don't see it as a desperate act to compete at all

I commend him on taking a clear stand against Coulter and FOX news.

I think it says much about Edwards in that he is speaking out and against the type of BS campaign smearing that has been going on too long, and even more vehemently in recent years, toward any and all citizens running for political office.

I am glad he is standing up and speaking out. It's time to stop the BS, and time to move toward elections that, no matter who is running and who supports whom, "Swift Boating" tactics have reached their limit, and must die a sudden death.

It's also time for a Dem candidate for POTUS to take on the attempts of the RW smear machine early and with absolute boundaries that will be respected.

I say, KUDOS to Edwards! AS with Dean being up front, and spot on, Edwards also is making a change that will hopefully have a lasting effect over the next several POTUS, and other interim, elections.
