Has anyone else noticed that in the last month or so, Edwards positions on the working people have become more appealing to the 2 remaining candidates? His speeches on empowering the working stiff has got more play recently. Clinton has made his stands her own, especially the rhetoric about a gas tax holiday, jobs and who she is trying to sway–white, blue collar, low education rural voter. The campaign put Bubba to work on that gig.
Bill has used the term “elitist” so many times referring to Obama that it became so redundant that he was boring, if Bubba could ever be boring. The campaign wrote off the black vote and went to the Edwards ploy of trying to appeal to the white working class. If Edwards could have appealed to the over 40 white women then he could have nmade it a bit further, but that would have meant a gender operation in Sweden.
Now that Hillary is all but eliminated, the gas tax holiday that was so important for a couple of days has died in the media. Clinton loses and ther “good idea” is no longer news…,,cool huh?
Edwards came out just before the Indiana and North Carolina, and did not endorse a candidate. He did however, found several things that he did not like about each candidate. But he has got to be pleased that his so called “populist” message got out by one of his past opponents.
edwards has got to be pleased, but we will see if it was pandering by the candidates or if it is true.
