Now I am worried... Chuck Todd said "Edwards did very well tonight..."
The King of the quick and final conclusion about everything praised Edwards.

Wonder what got into him?

2. Quit listening to pundits
that is the biggest problem, IMHO. Think for yourself.

3. I am also very suspicious about Chuck Todd
Too often he seems to make judgements based on a stupid kind of conservatism. Maybe he's shooting for Democrats to keep tearing at each other for longer.

4. Chuck Todd's job is to attract viewers.
He needs a compelling storyline, and if it's not there, he realizes he has the power to create a narrative out of whole cloth and will it into reality with the massive influence he wields on the American mind. Hence, Hillary and Obama are in a "race war" based on virtually nothing, and when they manage to squelch that storyline, well, let's throw Edwards back into it to make it interesting.

Not saying Edwards didn't do well, it just drives me crazy how the media can turn fiction into reality.
