    Great Post, Glenn!

    I agree with Dave Sirota when he talked about the panic that is reverberating in the halls of Washington and in the corporate boardrooms. This "independent" threat that Glenn talks about and the hit pieces that Stu Rothenberg & Joe Klein put out about Edwards are just the beginning as the entrenched interests use everything in their arsenal to try to cling to power. What a shame that the primary has divided the netroots community. Because NOW is the time we need to join together to fight back. If there was any doubt that Edwards is the outsider in this campaign that is feared the most the vitriol directed at him by corporate hacks should leave no doubt in anyones mind. The question is will our fellow progressives recognize it in time to back the only candidate in the race willing to take on the entrenched interests? I hope so.
