Edwards

Here's the thing about John Edwards: if he were somehow able to combine the Two Americas campaign he ran '04 with the Eat the Rich campaign he ran this time around, he might have done a lot better. Then again, the sunshine and rainbows candidate this cycle is Obama, so it was perhaps wise of Edwards to lay thick the vitriol and try to tap into the resentment a lot of Democratic voters have been experiencing over the last seven years.

Despite what Charles Krauthammer says, Edwards gained by running again. If he backs the right candidate he can probably pick-up a minimum of a cabinet seat, maybe even the VP nod.
