1. Oh Well... I Can Still Laugh... After Last Night & How Well Edwards Did...
NOTHING will surprise me about this election again!! If ever the "fix" was in on Edwards there should be NO DOUBT ever AGAIN!!

But, John Edwards, so many of us still love you and think you're THE GREATEST!!!

2. Well, I'm glad you could use
Obama's endorsement from the South Carolina paper as your forum to get that out. :)

9. This rag ran an editorial calling Edwards a "phony" in the summer
That tells you what you need to know about its credibility. ;)

3. No surprise
In SC, the State always endorses the most worthy candidate.

4. I don't think it's correct to
mention John Edwards' "anger" in that frame..he's a very positive guy..it's just a lazy soundbyte. Edwards is my second choice and I don't like to see spin about him in the papers.

I do like this about Obama, though..

Sen. Obama’s campaign is an argument for a more unifying style of leadership. In a time of great partisanship, he is careful to talk about winning over independents and even Republicans. He is harsh on the failures of the current administration - and most of that critique well-deserved. But he doesn’t use his considerable rhetorical gifts to demonize Republicans. He’s not neglecting his core values; he defends his progressive vision with vigorous integrity. But for him, American unity - transcending party - is a core value in itself.

5. Trouble is repubs don't know how to play nice.
Bill tried it and he had to wrestle Newt down a time or two. They hacked on Bill his entire term. Not a Hillary fan but thought Bill was the best we had in many years, before and after. His antics now are troublesome, like maybe the constant lawsuits the repubs kept piling on him affected his outlook. Hell, I still want to see impeachment but you know that isn't going to happen. The criminals will get by with the crimes.
