11. Also boxed in as not a candidate for change.
You saw her struggle to define herself as a change candidate in the debate, but if there is a definition of status quo, it would be Clintons and their DLC party. So, Edwards and Obama aren't going to let her redefine herself as a change candidate, and that is what people want to hear. Of course asking what constitutes change is a very fair question. But she doesn't have any of the answers. Not sure Obama does either, but he shows some promise as a uniter. But I'm afraid it's going to be the same corporate economy with a fresh new face.

The task for Edwards is to let people know what that change means, where we go from here, with little help from the media. To define substance over personality cult. One big thing working in his favor is the deteriorating economy. People know in their gut where they want the change, to end the corporate strangle hold on America, and Edwards has the message that speaks to that.
