Tote Board Column -- 2/22 -- More Rules for Presidential Candidates

    This week's Tote Board discusses three more rules that govern presidential politics at http://www.thephoenix.com/article_ektid34275.aspx  Incidentally, the rule about the advantages of having run before was well-illustrated yesterday at the Democratic forum held in Carson City, Nevada. The field is a strong one but John Edwards outshone his rivals. He's clearly a far better candidate than he was four years ago -- which, of course, is no surprise. Experience counts, as Richard Nixon once argued.
