1. I was warming to Edwards already.
I'm still for Feingold should he run, but this:

Edwards clearly believes that America is ready to elect a president who inspires idealism rather than triangulates with caution. He is positioning himself to the left of Hillary, fellow southerner Mark Warner (the former Governor of Virginia), and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. The discussions at the Chapel Hill conference reaffirmed that Edwards wants to move away from DLC-style centrism. He wants to position himself and the Democratic Party to advocate for a new New Deal in this era of corporate downsizing and globalization. Edwards differs from the centrist wing of the Democratic party in his strong support for unions, and the importance of reforming labor laws to strength the right to organize.

makes me a very, very happy guy.
