Joe Trippi in an email sent out this afternoon:

There, on national television, was Mitt Romney, multi-millionaire Republican nominee wannabe, attacking John Edwards for fighting for tens of millions of Americans who were not born into great wealth --folks struggling every day to make the American dream a reality for themselves and their families.

Maybe Mitt Romney should step out of his bubble of privilege and
start meeting real Americans -- people working longer hours for
less.

Maybe Mitt Romney should follow in the steps of John Edwards and
spend time walking with Americans struggling to rise out of poverty
and listen to their stories.

Maybe Mitt Romney should pass on lunch with his millionaire
investment buddies -- and spend time, as John Edwards has, with
families in New Orleans struggling to rebuild their lives and homes
while being ignored by their government.

Mitt Romney can bury his head in the sand and pretend the problems
will magically go away. But you and I know that there are two
Americas -- an America for Mitt Romney and his powerful, privileged
friends -- and an America for everyone else. And it's time we had a
president with the courage and the backbone to tell the truth.

John Edwards is fighting every single day for the millions of
Americans who do not live on Easy Street -- and that's why I support
John for president.

Where in the World is Mitt Romney?

It’s time for Mitt Romney to step out of his bubble of privilege and start meeting real Americans. It’s time for Mitt Romney to follow in the steps of John Edwards and walk with Americans struggling to rise out of poverty, listening to their stories. It’s time for Mitt Romney to go to New Orleans and meet with families struggling to rebuild their lives and homes, even as they’re being ignored by their government.

Mitt Romney can bury his head in the sand and wish the problems will magically go away. Now it’s time we had a president with the courage and the backbone to tell the truth. John Edwards is fighting every single day for the millions of Americans who do not live on Easy Street. Now it’s time for John Edwards.

3. That was GREAT!
The fact it's Romney attacking Edwards shows you that there ARE two Americas (even among those with money) -- those who only think of enriching and empowering themselves like "Multiple-Choice Mitt" and those like Edwards, who although privileged, still remembers where he came from.

13. Mitt thinks his litte tirade is a uniting factor.
He seems like a real dolt, like the guy he wants to succeed.
