The Breck Girl Comes Out Swinging
For those of you who have not yet discovered the new Web site -- The Politico -- check it out. This promising Internet experiment features prominent former journalists and others covering American politics in a fresh way.
Today's content features an interview with Democratic presidential hopeful (and 2004 Vice Presidential also-ran) John Edwards -- not the Crossing Over guy, the Two Americas guy.
Edwards, who was widely thought to be a disappointment on the 2004 ticket (he bombed in his one debate with Dick Cheney), and whose campaign botched his 2008 exploratory announcement last month, must be feeling the heat after the entrance of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama into the race. He came out swinging against them (and George W. Bush) in Roger Simon's piece this evening.
He was highly critical of Clinton's lack of contrition to date about her Iraq War vote and support (Johnny had his mea culpa on Iraq months ago), and was derisive of Obama's support for a non-binding Senate resolution against the Bush administration's planned "surge" in Iraq, likening him to a child throwing a tantrum. Interesting. Sounds like somebody's tired of not getting any news coverage.
Edwards seems to be seeking the depth as a candidate that eluded him last go-round. We'll see.
