Rudy vs. McCain vs. Romney will be a serious debate that will strengthen the GOP.

Has this stuff started yet? Seriously, I haven't seen it, but you can be sure it's coming if it hasn't already.

EDITED: I removed Edwards from my subject line. While I do think that he's a viable candidate, I didn't want to distract from my main point, which is that the so-called MSM always likes to paint competition or disagreement within the Democratic Party as divisive, while calling the same behavior healthy when it comes to the Repukes.

and will dredge up all the crap in the general.

Hopefully Gov Dean has somebody doing the same for the Repugs.

2. I'm sorry, but the media has already taken Edwards out of the equation.

It appears to be a fight between Hillary and Obama - as far as the media is concerned.

4. Edwards is playing it right
Now is the time to be low-key. He's letting the other two frontrunners tear each other up, an activity that primary voters will be thoroughly sick of by year's end if it continues, while he puts forth his campaign platform. Republican voters may accept the anointment of their nominee, but Democrats are famously -- perhaps notoriously -- contrarian in that regard in an open race.

(For the record: I support Edwards, thus the implied bias in this post.)
