The Edwards/Obama tag team
Please let Edwards take Obama's side one again in tomorrows debate! I want to see him act as if he is running for Obama's VP again, and attack Hillary to make it a two against one debate.

I think Hillary will do very well again if this happens, and it will show that even with two men on the stage they are no match for Hillary Clinton!

Hillary Clinton vs two men, I'd call that a fair fight!

2. Why are you denigrating men?
This is sexist.

3. wasn't Hillary trying to get Edwards to criticize Obama?

and he wouldn't play the game?

That exchange was HRC against 2 other candidates - I don't remember it being about anyone's sex.

If every argument with men is going to become a "boys beating up on the girl" story, she's going to have some problems with the GOP Candidate, Congress, and most world leaders.

You also seem to have forgotten Richardson was there.

ABC didn't make that seating arrangement by accident - they got the camera angles to have a 2-team visual and it seems to have worked.

4. I'd say Edwards is probably done with that now that HRC won NH
He was hoping to set it up as a two-person race between himself and HRC for second-place if Obama won both Iowa and NH. That didn't happen so he'll probably start throwing some jabs Obama's way as well.

5. Horseshit...
as the white male candidate Edwards has to condemn any unfair shots by either side when asked...other than that the fact that he and Obama are closer in platform rules.

6. Hillary could stop
being the sell out to the commercial interests and then there would be no need for Obama and Edwards to state the obvious; democrats selling out is just as bad if not worse than republicans selling out. And before we get into the normal Clinton supporter's hysteria about how she has fought them all etc., etc., please explain to me how it is ok to not only take money but also attend fundraiser's sponsored by Rupert Murdoch. OH yeah all of these guys really want to change the corporate dominance of public policy and now support Universal Health Care curbing Global Warming and so on. Talk about fairy tales lol.

7. funny that she thinks discussion of her record is an attack
>>> "I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it's hell." <<<
* Harry Truman

The victim card she is playing is bordering on the absurd.

9. Edwards is Going to Rise Above the Fray,
while Clinton & Obama get down and dirty with the petty side of gender and racial politics. With any luck, Edwards appeals to the western independent streak and comes from behind.

Go, Johnny, Go!!!
