    We now know that John Edwards is clueless

    as well his campaign management...for not vetting this sweet opinionated girl...

    for hiring Anyone with a public voice and not checking every public document or statement she ever made...

    Gross incompetence...Just like Bush...

    Now what...No Biden (same problem), No Hillary (paranoid and although my mind continues to tell me it is Bill Clinton Running, in the voting booth I just don't trust her - even less than Bush...hmmph.amazing), Obama, just don't know (I can picture pretty speeches...but substance...not a drop yet...and too religiously focused for me personnally...who does he know and how will he structure an administration of 100-1000 appointees.)

    Who, who, who will I vote for...a strong field of candidates Democrats say...hardly. But the presidency is a popularity contest as is politics...it's like love, warm and messy - ultimately fragile and subject to sudden death...hence the Republicans success in voting booth quickies/conversions.

    Edwards may be great in court when he is in total control...his in-ability to 'manage' an administration is without doubt.

    PS What a silly story by a prevaracater this was...did Salon tell her she was embarrassing herself further. Would a friend have let a friend print this bullshit?
