MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (CNN) -- Despite being credited with breathing life into his presidential bid by pushing positive themes, Sen. John Edwards' campaign circulated a confidential briefing book earlier this month that instructed supporters on how to attack his Democratic rivals during the Iowa caucuses.

I can't even think of who to ping about Edwards. I've been down with a migraine today, and I'm in for an early night.

This has all the earmarks of a Chris Lehane hatchet job.

They call those attacks???
The RAT party is definitely in a "quagmire" if they consider the facts as attacks.

Edwards campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri said the briefing book was written by his campaign in Iowa and that Edwards did not know about it until CNN contacted his campaign. "Having been made aware of it, he thinks it was wrong and he has instructed his staff not to do anything like it again," she said. what a LIAR!

Yep, it's Chris Lehane.
I think that Clark thinks he can beat Kerry (judging from his comments about their respective war records) and so Edwards is the next one to be knocked out.
Drudge has dirt, too.
Ah, let Clark be the one left standing. He is so nutso that he won't take 3 states.

Looks like Kucinich will be the last man standing after running through the abattoir known as the Democratic primary campaign.

The term "working families" has to go. They put out the notion that so many people are living off Grand Dads oil fortune. Please. Who the
#@%@ doesn't work?
To: Miss Marple
By the time these guys are done carving each other up, there isn't going to be much left of what ever credibility they might have had.
As Jackie Gleason used to say.... "How sweet it is"

It is worrisome.....they blood each other so bad....they ask a certain junior Senator to save the party from itself.

This has all the earmarks of a Chris Lehane hatchet job. It could be Lehane .. But it also could be from the Kerry Camp in hopes that Lehane would get blamed, especial after the hit piece the NYT did on Lehane
Kinda like, hit to birds with one shot .. Hit Edwards for the book and let Lehane/Clark take a hit for the blame for it

I agree, and the other statement I hear that bothers me is "Many Americans are asking themselves"
