Now that John Edwards has been blessed with the support of Michael Moore & Nader, what should he do?

1. Trade them for Oprah

no contest.

2. Since this keeps Nader out of the GE, smile smile smile.

Hope Edwards has a few wins so Nader does not change his mind.

Even Hannity had some good things to say about Sicko.

No Big Deal. Just smile.

3. Unless Edwards doesn't get the nomination.

Then Nader will be back.

4. He Should Praise Nader

by reminding Americans what Nader did for us in the 20th century. No mention of 2000.

He should praise Moore's wit and humor and his courage for speaking out against a society that... He needs to be careful with this one because many people see Moore as a liar - it's an unfair perception, but there nonetheless.

5. Other...

Edwards should immediately announce that he has chosen Winona LaDuke as his running mate, has fired Joe Trippi, and hired Peter Camejo to run his campaign.

6. When will the DLC'ers ever get over their hatred of Michael Moore?

I know better than to ask about Nader. He's too easy of a scapegoat for the shitty campaign and shittier running mate that they hung around Al Gore's neck in 2000, allowing a race that was close enough to be stolen.

10. Don't hate Moore at all

He's a gadfly but one with a passionate voice about important issues. He does good work raising consciousness and asking powerful questions, regardless of whether I agree with his stance (yes on Sicko and 9/11, no on Columbine - ambivalent on Roger). Sure he plays a bit loose with data but heck not as bad as his counterparts on the right. I applaud his efforts sincerely

Nor would I hate Nader if he had not blatantly lied (do we STILL think there is no difference between Tweedledum and Tweedledee folks?) and run a campaign specifically targetted at swing states where he could do most damage, even if it meant knowingly taking republican funds and help (like he couldn';t work out why they would do that?). Had he stayed as a consumer and environmental advocate or even run an honest Green campaign that didn't try to deliberately harm Democrats much more than Republicans, merely stake out his position and try to sell it to the few who are interested, I'd respect him as much as I do Moore.

Not everyone has to be ideological twins with them to extend respect to public figures - but I do prefer them not to deliberately inflict incalculable harm to their own causes simply out of vanity and spite.

7. He should star in a movie about how our heath care system is unsafe at any speed.

Directed by Micheal Moore and scripted by Nader. Edwards can do the power point presentation ala Al Gore. That way if he doesn't win the nomination, at least he'll have a job afterwards that doesn't involve working for a hedge fund.;)

How about "Thanks, Michael - Fuck you, Ralph"? NT

9. Wow. If he's good enough to please Nader, then he's good enough for me!

GO EDWARDS!
