John Edwards is a great attack dog. He just happens to be fighting for the wrong side. I've got to hand it to him, though, on this ad about Hillary's debate performance:
Jim Geraghty also makes this point about the difference between Hillary's and Mitt's responses after taking fire at the debates:
Thought that popped in my head... could you imagine if Mitt Romney played the 'Mormon card' the way Team Hillary has played the 'gender card' in the aftermath of the debate?
It's unthinkable. He'd be mocked and ridiculed mercilessly as a guy who couldn't handle a real debate.
Mitt Romney gets slammed from all sides in the debates, particularly the most recent one, and he knows why: He's leading in Iowa and New Hampshire (and close in South Carolina); he's the guy Rudy needs to beat someplace early, he's the guy Fred needs to falter, the guy Huckabee needs to catch up with, the guy McCain wants to see knocked out. Congratulations, you matter now; this means it's time to duck, brace for impact, and demonstrate an ability to get up off the mat.
I would be cringing like crazy if Senator Clinton were my witness on the witness stand. On the other hand, I would love to play with her on cross examination.
