Fear of Edwards
Posted by Frank J. at 11:04 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (16)

It's come out that in 2004 that Karl Rove, fearing the then unknown John Edwards (he was the Obama of that year), coordinated an attack on John Kerry figuring the Democrats would then rally behind him and help the more vulnerable Kerry win the nomination.

Of course today there's no candidate out there with as many negatives and as easy to attack as sissy, hypocritical John Edwards. Still, he's not giving up. Recently, Rove had this "harsh" attack on Hillary Clinton:

"She enters the general election campaign with the highest negatives of any candidate in the history of the Gallup poll.

"It just says people have made an opinion about her. It's hard to change opinions once you've been a high-profile person in the public eye, as she has for 16 or 17 years."

Ooh! Harsh!

Edwards has seized on this in a new fundraising letter that Rove fears him.

Come on. Kittens don't fear him. It would be the Republican's dream if this piece of fluff is nominated. The guy is so ludicrous as a candidate, he almost rivals Kucinich. There has never been this transparent a phony get this close to a nomination. It would be the most entertaining presidential race ever if he won the primary, and IMAO could capitalize on bashing him so much that I'm sure by November 2008 we'd have traffic to rival the Daily Kos.

So, nutroots, you really think you're the mainstream and you like Edwards? You get him nominated. Stop getting distracted by your tails and focus on that. Prove your vast grassroots power!

Obama and Hillary are Will & Grace... and Edwards is Jack.

No one would ever nominate Jack.

I'd just fear having Edwards in office with his finger on the button. Not that he'd push the button. But, he'd probably paint the button with his nail polish to make it more festive. And, who'd be afraid of us with a gay-looking button? No one.

Oh, and... FIRST!

...well, second now...

I'll bet the bad guys are pretty nervous about this pretty boy getting elected!

#5 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on August 23, 2007 11:58 AM

You mean, bad guys like Howard Dean? CNSNews.com reports that Dean thinks ANY DEMOCRAT is better than a Republican for the next president. Quoting Dean, "Any Democrat is better than any Republican running." Maybe Dean wants a Balmer-like (Microsoft) screaming and chair-throwing position in the next administration regardless of who it is Apparently he doesn't fear Edwards. Maybe visa versa?

#6 - Posted by: Jimmy on August 23, 2007 12:05 PM

If Edwards and Fred were tha candidates, Edwards would stay under the bed for the whole campaign, coming out only at the last minute to cast his vote for Fred.

#7 - Posted by: Alan on August 23, 2007 12:06 PM

Jimmy-

Since Dean is the grand poobah of the DNC, would you expect him to say anything else? Even if his personal opinion is that the Democrat candidates rank between slime mold (kookcinick) and a root canal procedure (Hillary) on the desireability scale, he is going to support them in public.

Of course Dean may be nuts enough for that to be his actual opinion, but since his job security requires that the Donkeys win the White House in 2008, I would bet the thought of some of the candidates winning makes him loose bowel control.

#8 - Posted by: Brian The Adequate on August 23, 2007 12:19 PM

I beg to differ, John French Kerry is a bigger more transparent phony than Edwards, and a gigolo scumbag to boot. But they would make a handsome couple.

#9 - Posted by: Senor Bumblebee on August 23, 2007 12:24 PM

Brian, I guess the optimist in me hopes that Dean would actually take a lesson out of Steve Balmer's book and throw a chair at Edwards. And secondly, I love it when Dean reinserts himself into ANY campaign. At least even the liberals recognized last time that Dean was a nut case. Not happening yet with Hillary, Obamma or Edwards. And THAT, my friend, scares me to hell!

#10 - Posted by: Jimmy on August 23, 2007 12:30 PM

About the only reason to fear Edwards would be if you dropped the soap in the shower. But then, he's a catcher, so never mind.

#11 - Posted by: Master Shake on August 23, 2007 12:31 PM

Oh, lord:

Edwards Attacks Obama and Clinton (AP)

He's desperate. I think he's afraid he's out of the race now.

#12 - Posted by: Jimmy on August 23, 2007 01:17 PM

#7, what do you mean "If Edwards and Fred were tha candidates"? You should have said, "When Fred wins the nomination and if he give Edwards permission to run against him..."

#13 - Posted by: Fosterdad on August 23, 2007 05:59 PM

all you people are nuts. If you look at what Bush has done to this country it's scary.
We would get the same from any of the repubs. Wake up fools
