    Edwards seems to get it

    See this concise, little ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvTp0PYVLZA

    I think the two key phrases of this election are, or should be...

    1. Darcy Burner's "More and better Democrats"

    2. moveon.org's underused "Bush's Third Term"

    We may literally not be able to afford another term of Bush (in the guise of Giuliani, Romney, Huckabee, etc.).

    Yet there is little we've seen in the past year that says "more Democrats" without "better Democrats" is the cure for what ails us.

    Given what the Repubs have done with absolute power these past two terms, I'll be damned if I'll do anything but vote (D) next November. But in the meantime, I'll work hard to see that the best possible names are on the other side of that (D).
