Edwards is brilliant! He is tough and smart and doing it all while being out spent.
Out spent by 300%.....it it outrageous and stunning to think Clinton and Obama have not made a dent.....all that money.....and Edwards is gaining in Iowa.

America deserves a leader who is able to size up the competition and plan out a strategy.

Well dear Edwards supporters......take heart....there is more to come.....much more

Read a fabulous diary - at www.mydd.com

here is a snip

. Edwards Rises and Hillary Drops

Hillary and her supporters are sad. And shocked. Shocked and sad. Saddenly shocked that Edwards would have the temerity to criticize her. On the issues, no less!

Note to Taylor Marsh and others: when Edwards blasts Hillary for taking two different positions on Social Security or for deceptively claiming her vote for Kyl-Lieberman was a vote for diplomacy, those are issue-based critiques. Just as when Team Obama blasts Edwards for inconsistency or questions his authenticity because he's moved left, those are issue-based critiques.

Are Edwards's swipes at Hillary pointed? Yup. Tough? I hope so. You'd think Clinton and her supporters had never seen a tough election; but of course they're just pretending to be dismayed as they call Edwards angry (God forbid) and negative (Allah have mercy.)

Calls for civility are the last refuge of the Establishment.

Listening to their nervous calls for Edwards to lay off, you start to sense that he's getting somewhere. Sure enough, he's on the move in New Hampshire and nationally. The last Rasumussen tracking poll has him with three of Obama. Don't let up, Johnny Boy.

Meanwhile over at Openleft, Stoller and Bowers are expressing dismay that it was the mainstream press that has brought down Hillary's numbers, and perhaps it was. But what do they think gave her the lead in the first place? Her positions on the issues? Baaaahhhh. The Tweety Giveth and the Tweenty taketh away.

6. "Calls for civility are the last refuge of the Establishment."
John Edwards "Let me say this very simply, if you are looking for the candidate that will do the best job of attacking the other Democrats, I’m not your guy.”

"it it outrageous and stunning to think Clinton and Obama have not made a dent.....all that money.....and Edwards is gaining in Iowa."


Edwards has not shown a gain in a single IA poll in months. He now runs in 3rd in most polls for Iowa.

14. I'm still confused
What is his record? What are his accomplishments? What has he done? He's just taking all the liberal positions this time around to maintain support. I don't call that leadership.

17. Google is your friend
What is his record? What are his accomplishments? What has he done?

A little bit of research will find answers to your questions.

16. I posted this OP yesterday, before the CBS poll came out. Edwards vision is taking hold, and
his message is resonating with the voters.

I expect that he will win his 3rd debate tomorrow.

Edwards is a force to be reckoned with, and is executing his campaign plan well.

19. He is really working hard to win this for us.
Edwards is focused on becoming a president for the regular folk. He is no joke and his efforts are starting to pay off.
