Edwards Makes His Case

While everyone else was scouring the Mitchell report, I was watching the final pre-Iowa Democratic debate for you. I thought John Edwards did a heck of a job closing the sale.

Barack Obama and, to a lesser degree, Hillary Clinton, were also good. But I thought Edwards did an excellent job, sort of coming around the side of the two megasaurs and saying hey, I'm the one who's in this to fight for the people and the good of the country against the entrenched interests. He ratcheted back the anger and hit all the right notes, I thought.

I also watched yesterday's Republican debate, in which I thought Mitt Romney came out fine. But he (and others) have to keep poking holes in Huckabee, and that's tough for them to do now, after giving him a free pass all year.

Not to mention, people are way more interested in the names in the Mitchell report....
