After briefly reading all this, I make an appeal for all my time back. I can't understand why the Edwards campaign hired a loose cannon like this in the first place.
She writes:
"Reasonable people... (C)an tell the difference between a personal blog post and those I'll write for the campaign."
They can't; she shouldn't have expected them to (I mean, our president can't even tell the difference between terrorists and insurgents). Lesson learned, she should move on. And I suggest she do so at some point in her career in a more "professional" environment than that of the blogworld. There is but one public venue and she tried to live separate identities in two. That's just reckless.
BTW, I'm a progressive feminist (not a "wingnut") and former journalist. The latter is a profession; blogging in the context of a purposeful campaign could've been this woman's profession but she blew it because she was unprofessional. If Edwards hadn't fired her, I hope he was getting ready to do so.
