Is Edwards about to make this a two man race (Edwards vs Clinton)? Looks that way.
This article and a couple other things that happened today convinced me Edwards is going to change tack and go hard after Obama now that Obama's Reagan comments and record are catching up to him and a lot less Democratic voters think of him as the "progressive" candidate.

That leaves an opening for Edwards to get a foothold as Obama's numbers drop. If Edwards passes Obama in even one primary the whole Barack Obama house of cards will crumble.

Nobody can expect empty rhetoric to get them through a campaign as hard fought as this Democratic primary campaign is going to continue to be.

1. I don't know.
He was already hanging by a thread with me anyway. The Reagan commentary put him over the edge.

3. Obama's numbers haven't dropped.
This seems premature. But hopeful.

4. I'm supporting Edwards, but I don't think the comments by Obama, by themselves, are that damaging
You find 5 or 6 things that make him seem "Reaganesque" than yes it can.

There are lots of people out there, Democrats, who don't dispise Reagan.

On a personal note: I kind of hope they do skewer his candidacy, as I am supporting Edwards. I just don't think it will though.

6. from the Spanish language radio commercial
"Hillary Clinton does not respect our people. Hillary Clinton’s supporters went to court to stop working people from being able to vote on Saturday. That is disgraceful. Unforgivable. Hillary Clinton does not respect our people who work hard. Hillary Clinton’s supporters want to stop people who are working on Saturday so they can’t vote. Disgraceful. Unforgivable. Shame on Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton should not let her friends attack the right of our people to vote on Saturday. Disgraceful. Unforgivable. No respect. Senator Barack Obama is defending our right to vote. Senator Obama wants our votes. He respects our votes. He respects our community, our gente. Barack Obama’s campaign theme is 'Si Se Puede.' Yes we can. Vote for a President who respects us and our right to vote. Obama for President. Yes we can.


No one is keeping the Latinos from voting, thats just stupid and offensive. I really hate the verbiage of this radio spot. Very misleading.

9. Obama lost me when he said
that "Baby Boomers should get over themselves". Those boomers were the ones that started the change in this country to where he can be a viable candidate.
