John Edwards is boring me

Increasingly irrelevant democratic presidential candidate (could have just said his name) John Edwards, does not like Hillary Clinton. While stumping in Iowa (stumping is a stupid word) Mr. (Senator?) Edwards took the time to complain about his position in the polls, only did so in a backhanded way, by comparing Hillary to Howard Dean. "I remember the inevitability of Howard Dean and I'm a stupid moron so I think this is the same situation" (maybe not an exact quote, I'm too lazy to find out). All of this of course played out with his (and the Joker's) trademark grin. Perhaps he doesn't remember exactly why Howard Dean suddenly dropped in the polls, pretty sure it had something to do with an exasperated "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" (I hope I got enough letters in there to convey the sound). As soon as that occurred the attack ads started flying and they all aimed squarely at Dean who now seemed too "unstable" to be a presidential candidate. After all he was from Vermont, maybe he had been drinking too much Maple Beer (I don't think this actually exists, but maybe. Who knows? I wouldn't have thought there was a town named Pilsner, go figure?). Whatever the reason for his outrageous scream (he was probably excited) it kept him from ultimately going further than the primaries.

In what possible scenario is Clinton likely to jeopardize her candidacy with something to that effect. She has a team of people trying making sure she does everything right. Of course Obama has similar people that don't seem to be able to figure out what is "right", letting him operate all over the spectrum. Really John Edwards knows that he wont be given the running-mate position again and is now trying to seem update about his constant decline in the polls. Maybe he should think about not mentioning the mill worker thing anymore. People don't really want someone like them in office, they secretly (or not so) need the bourgeois politician that thinks they know what's best for the country. Also they need someone to blame when stuff starts going awry. Would you rather blame your friend and neighbor, or the guy that lives in the $20 million house behind a gate?
