“Sen. Obama likes to talk about his speech on Iraq years ago, but the truth is he did support past funding requests that only helped prolong this war,” an Edwards spokeswoman, Colleen Murray, said in an e-mail. “The time has come for Sen. Obama to lead and use every tool available to him as a senator and help ensure that this war is not funded again without a firm deadline. For John Edwards, the choice is very simple. It’s time for Congress to stand up to President Bush and make the message very clear — ‘No timeline, no funding. No excuses.’ ”
I understand Edwards frustration at constantly being stuck in third place, especially when the top two candidates steal some of your talking points and ideas, but I worry that if Edwards gets too strident he will turn off voters who want to see a unifying Democratic candidate.
Obama has been playing the peacemaker since the beginning of his campaign, even refusing to attack the Republican candidates, much less his Democrat rivals.
I think that is a smart tactic. Perhaps Edwards feels he does not have much to lose in being more aggressive, and I hope he is correct, because he has some great ideas to deal with the problems facing our country right now.
I still think that the Edwards/Obama ticket is the unbeatable combination to secure the Presidency for the Democrats. I am just saying.
