John Edwards live

Whatever the outcome of his presidential campaign, this time around Edwards won't regret being an overly cautious candidate.

Unraveling Edwards' subtext does not require a Derrida-spouting graduate student. Hillary Clinton is the obvious apostle of these "cautious, incremental steps," while Barack Obama is the undeniable master of feel-good rhetoric.

A generally well written article that provides a good review Sen. Edwards' campaign, the role his wife and her cancer plays in the race. It touches on experience campaigning and on the issues. While it seems to be an example of the baseline for good political journalism, given the rest of the horse race coverage out there, this article exceeds most of the other stories.

head line is deceiving ...a few quotes and a bunch of rerun hyperbole about the race. This is a horse race story before the fact. Does anyone are about the collage of the candidates. Shapiro does not interview Edwards and referral to issues are vague.

Here is someone with the guts to say I was wrong. Do you realize how rare this is in the political landscape since Bush/Cheney came on the scene? Do you realize how far this country might have returned to its "core values" if men who believed in the devine right to lie had know how or had the integrity to admit they were/are wrong?
