There is an irony here that if things go TOO well in the war on terrorism for President Bush and the country, it could actually hurt him against Edwards.

People won't vote for Edwards so long as they feel that national security is the #1 issue. But if things seem to be going well, and the terrorist threat fading, they might be tempted to go for a feel-good candidate like Edwards. As someone said, he's like Clinton, but without the women.

Actually, I expect the press to turn their focus on Edwards, and not in a positive way. He's too dangerous a threat to Hitlery's ambitions. Win the nomination, and he could beat Dubya, which means no coronation for the Witch in 2008. Do well in the primaries, but get edged out by Kerry, and he's a viable candidate in 2008. She's already looking at a likely fight with Algore, and Edwards could sneak in and steal the whole thing. Therefore, he's got to be stopped now. I believe he's the real reason the Clintons got Ashley Wilkes to jump into the race to offset him in the southern primaries.
