More Anecdotal Pro-Edwards Evidence
While listening to Morning Edition this morning on NPR, I heard a short report from the Conservative Political Action Conference in Virginia. Amongst the threads in this segment was a series of conservative opinions about who they think best stands against Bush from the Dems. Who are they most afraid of? Not Kerry, Clark or Dean...its Edwards. They cite his ability to be seen as a "common man"; that he's "from the south"; that he "shares Bush's values"; and that he would "take republican votes."
This correlates well with a long segment of one of CSPAN's call-in shows last weekend between campaign rallies in Iowa. Many republican callers shared their dissatisfaction with Bush on several issues (usually fiscal). The one democrat that most interested them? Edwards.
Watch Edwards the next chance you get. He is *good* with an audience. He knows how to speak and explain himself. Winning trial after trial requires considerable ability to formulate a cohesive argument. Sure, Edwards has his policy problems just like very other democrat in the race. But the one I'm most interested in is the one best able to compete in November. Kerry-Edwards could be a winning ticket, but I wonder about Edwards-Clark. You heard it here first.
