Ok, I haven’t read the links yet, Mr. Buckeye, but while I have your attention, answer me this:
1. Why isn’t Edwards the overwhelming favorite among Dem primary voters? Or more to the point –
2. Why isn’t “electability” such a crucial issue with primary voters? And if it isn’t –
3. Just what exactly does Edwards have going for him? Is it that he gets more independent voters than Clinton and Obama? And if that’s the case –
4. If he can’t get the nomination but he wins the general, how is he any different than Joe Lieberman in Connecticut?
I’ll hang up and listen to your answer.

P.S. I love you, man!
