I dunno.

I didn't see the debates, but if Messalina Agrippina came out swinging with boxing gloves on, it must have been great.  Messalina Agrippina's got to do more of that.

Anyway.

1. Actually, the only reason he won is because no one needs to pay attention to him. If he were in the running, they would have been all over him because of his complete reversal of everything he ever voted for as a Senator.

3. he came in second in Iowa and the media made a very deliberate decision at that point to protect the candidate who came in third--Hillary and ignored Edwards.

5. Yes, astonishing wasn't it? Even fairly well informed people think Clinton came in second in Iowa.

You really had to read between lines in that coverage.

4. LOL, I just saw Matt Lauer mention him positively in a discussion with Timbo.

Timbo then explained well, yeah, but see that helps Obama, and then right back to the Obama/Clinton saga.

I guess the MSM can only ignore him if he doesn't actually get seen speaking or campaigning.

6. Edwards is a DLCer (not Obama). You really need to do better research.

8. The DLC cut Edwards out - they don't like what he's saying.

7. Because he stayed on message

Now, I'm somewhat, uh, skeptical of the primitives, especially since they have Pedro Picasso as their media analyst.

Anybody watch this debate?

Did Edwards win it, or did someone else really win it?

I watched all of it until it turned into a therapy session.  edwards got his ass handed to him.  the BarackStar was rather good, and hillary was aggressive.  edwards came off whiney and effeminate, which is probably why the DUmmies think he won.

Great line! Agreed. Edwards trying to be "above it all" made him seem wimpier than he already is. Although when he piled on, he piled on Barack and not Hillary, it seemed to me.

honestly, edwards makes me want to puke.  I don't even have any of the grudging respect for him that I have for the BarackStar or the Hildebeast.  he is a non-entity.  he isn't a has-been, he is a never was.

Edwardo will retire from the race soon and I believe he will endorse one of the Clinton's.

If Edwards were to dye his hair black, and comb it over one of his eyes, he could run for the Emo party.
