Edwards supporters, you really need to smack his campaign for this
Note: this is not a bash at Edwards. I just think his supporters should know about this.

snip..........

... Not every campaign has embraced the medium (the internet). Willis originally set up a blog on Senator John Edwards' behalf but stopped updating it, he said, after the Edwards campaign gave him a tepid response. (A spokeswoman for Edwards, Democrat of North Carolina, did not return calls from the Globe seeking comment.)

1. Perhaps they are concerned . . .
That the internet Liberal already has his candidate (Dean or Kunicich) and that trying to court us is a waste of time. Or possibly we are so far out ahead of the campaign that this will change after a while.

5. Could be, they just didn't like him in particular
maybe they want someone else to do it. Now if the article had said Edwards' staff had turned down a dozen offers to do an Edwards blog, the article might have a point. But turning down one particular individual doesn't make Edwards a luddite in my eyes.

Anyway, nothing is stopping this guy from blogging about the presidential race.

4. What is an internet liberal?
I'm a liberal who uses the internet and I'm all about not wanting an unelectable candidate get the nomination. Preferably Edwards, but in the event that he drops out I'm jumping on the Kerry campaign right away. If one of those 2 or Graham don't get the nomination the race is over in march

7. I suppport Edwards
But I think, at this point, he needs to get his name out there as much as possible. He's the best candidate with the least amount of name recognition.

3. DLC Dems, like Repugs, can't see "The Times They Are...
...A Changin'"

A tip of the hat to good, ol' Bob Dylan.
