Edwards is pounding home his platform on ABC's This Week. He is firm and take no prisoners.
This is why he needs to be the next President. He will not give up, nor will he walk away.

Just watch the way John Edwards handled George Stephanolpis. John controlled the interview with firmness, and without anger or vitriol. He did not let George frame the interview and was able to
keep his answers elevated and did not let the interview get mired in minutia, and mindless detail like the pundits like so much.


The skills that Edwards owns mirror that of Teddy Roosevelt, who was instrumental in busting up the monopolies.

Edwards is proving his worth by showing how you do not waiver once you put your stake in the ground. He is showing how not to "blink" in the face of overwhelming adversity.

3. It will take more than one interview to say the black out has been lifted. No proof yet.

6. one show doesn't make up for the disparity over multiple weeks
Someone yesterday posted a set of graphics from dkos and the inattention to Edwards relative to Obama and Clinton was striking.

2. Damn. I wish I would have known JRE was going to be on.
Maybe they'll replay it on the ABC website?

8. There was no black out--it was a campaign tactic.
He was on Morning Joe the morning of the Iowa primaries. There has been no black out.

9. I thought he was very good.
Big Pharma, health care insurance company and oil company profits are negatively impacting most of the people I know. John's message resonates with us.
