John Edwards
John Edwards sounds like a broken record
Filed under: John Edwards
After finishing third, John Edwards gave virtually the same concession speech as in Iowa. Again, he talks about Nataline Sarkisyan, the 17-year-old girl who died while awaiting a liver transplant that her insurance company refused to cover (am I the only one who finds it weird that Edwards never mentions the name of the insurance company? It was CIGNA and you can read more about the case here.) Again, he talks about James Lowe, the man who couldn't afford to get his cleft palate fixed for years (YouTube clip of Edwards with Lowe embedded below). Are these the only two people in America that have ever had a bad run-in with an insurance company? Why not just screen "Sicko" and call it a night?

The surging Democrat is ... John Edwards?
Filed under: John Edwards
Glenn Greenwald's new post at Salon makes the case that John Edwards' growing support is absent from the dominant media narrative. It's hard to argue with this -- I just spent a week in North Carolina, which is Edwards country, and heard much the same sentiment. Check out the new Rasmussen poll numbers, which make this look like a three-way race after all.
The more I know of Edwards, the more I like him, although I think he may be swamped by the rising Obama tide.
