Reply #71: I agree with Frenchie that it is not an adequate answer

In addition to honestly saying that he doesn't know - he could have addressed the fact that we do know that the current plan is not working. He could have listed the safeguards built into his plan - I assume there will be some- that would deal with the more negative scenarios. Most other people, whether politicians or strategists have bothered to do this.

The question is a fair one and a more thoughtful answer would have been nice to dispell any thoughts that Edwards really doesn't know what he is talking about here. This is early and I hope that he or Obama become better at this. (otherwise, I hope one of the second tier candidates breaks through).
