People worry AS MUCH about national security as they do the economy. And don't expect Bush not to use that kind of approach against him.

I can see it now, "WEAK ON DEFENSE!!!! HE WON'T EVEN DISCUSS IT!!! HE AGREES WITH BUSH ON IT, WHY IS HE RUNNING TO REPLACE HIM?"

We have to have someone who will REPLACE Bush, not just re-write his economic policies. If you are looking for a repeat of what Clinton did, you are looking in the wrong time and place. We weren't stuck in an occupation of a foreign nation and suddenly ultra-paranoid about terrorism in 1992. A lot of people DO fall into the latter, and we ARE in the former.

And Bush IS running as a "war president." He will blame the economy on his little war, and Edwards will be stuck.

ON EDIT: agreeing on something in this political climate does NOT neutralize, and it won't with those issues in this day and age.
