Sen. John Edwards scolded President Bush on Wednesday for invoking the names of Democratic presidents and accused Bush of leading by "fear and failure."

-snip-

Bush's record wouldn't make Republican presidents like Dwight D. Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan proud, Edwards said, and would shame even Herbert Hoover. The Democratic campaign often cites the Depression-era president because Hoover, like Bush, oversaw a net loss of jobs while in office.

Bush asks supporters to bring to the polls "discerning Democrats" like Sen. Zell Miller, the Georgia Democrat who campaigned with Bush on Wednesday in Pennsylvania and Ohio.

"Just because he stands with Zell Miller and campaigns in a Democratic county, it doesn't make you a friend of Democrats," Edwards said. "It shows a sign of desperation."

voice their opinion. Loyalty oath joke !

4. Very nice. I still like Edwards' style. it's not as bombastic as some

here would like, but I think he consistently makes a devastating case against the cabal.

5. did Zell look like a desperate man throwing wild haymakers at *'s

convention....


Relying on Zell to throw the knock-out punch....OK.

6. Edwards Has really shown up these last few weeks

Didn't hear much from (about?) him after the convention but since the debates he has been on point and concise in nailing Bush/Cheney on issues immediately after they hit the news.
