"John Edwards is the best political talent in years." (So why are we overlooking him?)

John Edwards: Welcome

I keep hearing very smart talkingheads tell us that John Edwards is the best political talent in years...or some variant thereof. So why are Democrats choosing lesser talents? Do they really NOT want to win?

When it comes to raw talent, I also think Wes Clark is doing a great job...and has the added benefit of having a great message. He, like Edwards, are most formidable. MOST formidable.

The Republicans and Media know this, and are demarketing Edwards and Clark. They are, frankly, afraid of a Clark/Edwards ticket. Scared to death. And they are in a hurry for Democrats to remove them from the table.

Don't play into their hands.

Big Media are part of the problem. Not the solution.

Are not Clark and Edwards the real face of America...at its best?

Polls are there to trip you up, on your way to your conscience. Think with your own head and heart. This is not the time to lock out great candidates.
