  - A very smart series of moves by the Edwards campaign, from the Coulter  Old Crusoe   Mar-09-07 09:03 PM   #1 
  - Smart series of moves? I sense desperation.  Kerry2008   Mar-09-07 09:06 PM   #3 
  - There are big-picture and long-term considerations here. John Edwards  Old Crusoe   Mar-09-07 09:09 PM   #8

              - Do you want me to dissect the response piece by piece?  Kerry2008   Mar-09-07 09:39 PM   #44 
                 - You said, and I quote,  spooky3   Mar-09-07 09:59 PM   #65 
  - Compared to Democrats of past years, Edwards has actually fought back nicely  mtnsnake   Mar-09-07 09:09 PM   #9

                    - is he using yet-no, will he--maybe and thats fine with me.  chimpsrsmarter   Mar-09-07 09:34 PM   #38 
                       - Will he? Doubtful. n/t  Kerry2008   Mar-09-07 09:37 PM   #42
