You sort of missed the point.

I want to hear from Edwards. If he's for Obama, that's fine. And, no, Obama isn't more in sync, IMHO. But we may see soon…..

One-eighty, indeed.

If they had just continued anti-Dem statements, they'd have remained consistent.

“Clinton resonates with the same base of working class voters as Clinton and is more in touch with their needs than the yuppie-college-student-wealthy-independent blocs.”

Clinton has working class voters, indeed; her campaign (resentfully?) has disparaged the afflluent, “progressive” “latte liberals.” Clinton is stronger among older voters. She appeals to women though her hold is far from firm on them.

Since McCain's nomination is pretty much a done deal, the farther-right crowd has gone from a bang to a whimper insofar as comments are concerned (from totals of reader remarks on Town Hall numbering in the multiple hundreds to only a few — Romney's endorsement of McCain has received only seven [7] remarks so far). However, this Michael Reagan change-of-heart has already quickly gotten remark totals into the sixties.

The reason I back Clinton, and Edwards should, is that Clinton resonates with the same base of working class voters as Clinton and is more in touch with their needs than the yuppie-college-student-wealthy-independent blocs. She is marginally more progressive than Obama, but both are corporate. Obama isn't an “agent of change” any more than McCain.

Unlike you, however, I want Edwards to back someone, regardless of who it is. I don't care if it suits my personal agenda. I don't care if somehow, in the media storyline, he's “missed his moment.” I want him to stand for what he believes in, as he always did, which is why I supported him in the first place and still admire him.

We each go through this process of discovering what is most important to us. For me it is campaign finance reform and engaging more moderates, independents and centrists into the political process and institutions. My question is: who will make the American government work better for the middle class.
