I think that Edwards had the luxury of not being under attack and so remained positive. Kerry exemplified remaining above the fray of the politics of personal destruction, but what I perceived as strength was perceived as weakness by the populace, i.e. "why didn't he respond or fight back?". Obama has found a more counter-punching balance while still partially succeeding in staying above the fray. I feel HRC is quite competent, but from my perspective, it seems that the mud flinging started with her camp.
