Commentary: Edwards is mad and won't take it anymore

(...)

FIRST PLACE: John Edwards

Analysis: John Edwards has found a theme: He is angry and he is on your side. He is bold and he will use his boldness for you.

Here was his key response, his voice rising as he went along:

“Do you believe that compromise, triangulation will bring about big change? I don't. I think the people who are powerful in Washington -- big insurance companies, big drug companies, big oil companies -- they are not going to negotiate. They are not going to give away their power! The only way that they are going to give away their power is if we take it away from them!”

The triangulation line was a not so subtle whack at Bill Clinton and, presumably, Hillary Clinton. Edwards was not able to sustain his outrage for a full two hours, but he scored enough points throughout the debate.

(...)

Edwards needs to project strength, and he is on the road to doing that.

[question everything]

1. I hope that he is not too mad

at least, this is how Howard Dean started and ended up burnt in his own fire.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

2. I wish he

had been this mad when in the Senate.

[saracat]

3. He has always been this angry at the insurers and corporatists!

And he whipped their butts in court.Good for John, the only candidate displaying real "compassion"!
