That sums it up for me. He is officially the Nader of 2008. I don't think this is a good idea, democrats are going to tie him to the Naderites.
John Edwards has jumped the shark. He is acting like Obama's second. I know he thinks it is his best strategy but it is not going to work. Now he is just compounding his mistake by tying himself to these people.
Look I love her as an actress. But her politics, her choices of candidate, are always driven by ideology that the vast majority of people do not and will never share. Susan and Tim are so misguided. They get involved when a candidate says absolutely everything they want to hear, but they never stick around for the hard work when they don't get their way. I have no respect for that. I have respect for the guys like Howard Dean who hang in and work for the common good even when he was bombarded by dirty politics by other democrats and the media.
I will never forget the Academy awards where Moore won an award and got booed. When Susan came out afterwards to present she looked like she had been hit by a truck because some of the Union people backstage were less than gracious to Moore. Well the truth is that they sabotaged Gore in 2000 and they did it to "make a point". So the audience and the union people made their point and she looked like she didn't believe anyone was entitled to speak out but her.
Edwards is making a mistake. He is not going to win, he is going to hang in there forever coming in third and being a pain in the ass just like Nader and these foolish Naderites are going to encourage him to do so.
Yeah he may pick up some independents of the leftist variety, but in the long run it is not going to do any good and it will turn off a lot of democrats in the long run including union members who do not forget 2000.
Just my opinion folks. That and 10 bucks will get me overpriced crappy coffee at Starbucks.
