Edwards is popular with the media because THEY (being mostly left-wing liberals themselves with an understanding of the power of the mass media itself) also believe that the Dems will have to field a good-looking candidate to even come close in the race against Bush. Call it the "Dukakis Army Helmet Factor" if you will.

The next time they're showing footage of John Edwards, let me tell you something to watch for.

It was the day he announced he was running for president..at his home in N. Carolina. He emerges from his fine new home and walks through a white wooden gate.

The gate is what cracks me up every time I see it. On top of the gate there are two big wooden figures of squirrels....facing each other, holding a big acorn between them! In the face of the gate are cutouts of oak leaves.

Ugggghhhh! It's so....so......so.....country!
