So what gives?
Edwards according to the polls beats all pukes by the widest margin. Yet the guy cant make a buck to save himself. Does the credit card authorization on his site not work or something?

Seems like a disconnect to me.

Please explain it to me oh wise DU'rs.

1. The media and the corporations
Will stop at NOTHING to assure that a candidate that supports taking care of poor people does not emerge.

3. Edwards?
Why would corporate media waste time talking about Edwards? Poverty and the Two Americas aren`t sexy topics. Much more all-American to chatter about Oprah`s star power and the Clinton`s marriage. By the way....I thought the MSM picked our winner several months ago.

4. I am not talking about media coverage.
I am talking about cash. I dont understand why if he is so popular acording to the polls he doesnt have any cash. Obama and clinton have raised mountains of cash which i would expect given their positions i the polls. Edwards isright on their necks in the polls in most states and recently did better head to head than anyone against the pukes.

But he has no money. Why?


Unless you are saying he has no money cause the media ignores him.

5. The Media Did John Edwards A Disservice By Ignoring Him
The only way he can force them to pay attention is by winning Iowa...If he doesn't win Iowa his campaign is over... The media might still discount a win there by suggesting it was his state to lose...

It's interesting to look back at political history and see which candidates were successful in triumphing over the media's pre-determined narrative and which candidates weren't...
