Tail wagging the dog

For some reason, I've never liked John Edwards. It's weird--on paper, I agree with many of his positions, and I think he's a decent person; but there's something about him that's always rubbed me the wrong way.

I could expound, but now there's a YouTube video that captures exactly what I mean.

The video is hilarious, and devestating; the synching of music to action is perfect, and you couldn't ask for a more perfect ending.

I really don't see how Edwards can overcome this--he's clearly deadly earnest in it. If he manages to stick around, at some point one of his opponents can just run this as a commercial in swing states.

It'll play particulary well down South.
