51. I think all adults here..

... understand that ALL politician at this level are putting on an performance.

The question is, is the play good enough to stay for the third act?

At least Edwards is talking about the REAL problems facing America (and despite the accusations of some, the "two Americas" meme was a centerpiece of his 2004 campaign as well) and doing something valuable for this country - i.e. countering the Republican/convervative idea that THEIR way - less regulation, more tax cuts for the rich, etc is actually helping the average American.

It is NOT, it is doing EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE, and neither HRC nor Obama has the BALLS to say so.

Do I think Edwards will win the nomination? Not really. The entrenched interests REALLY don't like anyone dissing their grand scheme, especially when it is working so well. But if he just wakes a few million more Americans up to something resembling the reality of our country it will be more than either of the front runners have accomplished.
