Elizabeth Edwards Posting at Democratic Underground?John Hawkins has
the story.
To me, it seems obvious that the real message of this story is that John Edwards is running in 2008 and that he and his wife are keeping up with the lunatic crowd that is going to be so very important for getting the nomination. At least, they will be important right up until the moment people start voting in the primaries and caucuses.
Remember, the darling of the DU crowd and most of the left-wing bloggers at the beginning of 2004 was Howard Dean. And while the Dean scream has moved into legendary status as the cause of his downfall, people forget that moment came
after Dean had lost Iowa.
This is something that we often lose sight of. The rank and file Democrats are not as goofy as the DU crowd or the lefty bloggers. They would have joined in our revulsion at DKos's "screw 'em" dismissal of the US contractors in Iraq last year (if they had any idea who Kos was). Yes, Kerry was a goofy pick, but he was the height of sanity compared to the Vermonster.
