9. "Those people" are willingly allowing themselves...
to be "used" as "political props."

He's talking about that right now.

8. This is not a good speech
At all. Not for this venue. He needs applause lines.

30. I think its an interesting strategy
Give a stump speech to a national audience who otherwise would not hear it. So its not too gracious, I agree but it might be a good strategy overall for reaching NH voters listening in.

19. Tweety just said it was "unusual" for him not to concede.
He didn't congratulate the winner.

Never give up, John.

Tweety said he doesn't like to concede. Ohhh, how I love to hear that about a Democrat.

22. Edwards is doing the right thing...
With little money and a BIG message...this is national coverage. Free media time, getting the word out is the right thing to do.

28. And he did it with fire in the belly!
That's what I want from any Dem. Don't show me how nice you can be; show me how you can kick ass.

BTW, where did your awesome "angry underwear" graphic go?
