Watch those netroots curl up and die for Edwards (and migrate to become Hillaranians or Obamatons).

Listen haters...all politicians bow to pressures...if they didn't--they'd be Bush. Who gives a fuck? It's a popularity contest by definition so let's get behind someone who's all, "Guess what? The budget is always unbalanced—get over it." So what if Hilary is a policy wonk, or that Obama is a super nice guy that everyone likes—it doesn’t matter how smart or nice a president is—they can f-up anyways. Over intellectualizing candidates is useless and pretentious (and it legitimizes the political imagizing of the media)—let’s just get behind someone sane and hot.


I wish Edwards would get behind me ; P

He gives me a weird vibe, an insincere vibe. Perhaps this is the politician thing, but it is heavy coming off him. He just seems so damn slick.

We all know that he has no chance of getting the Dems nomination.

He made his money in medical malpractice. Basically he is part of the health care problem, not the solution. He does not have a sincere bone in his body.
