See the documentary The Corporation and read 'synopsis'
http://www.thecorporation.com/index.cfm?page_id=312This is basically John Edward's campaign...but it HAS TO BE a covert campaign. The corporations will undermine him eventually and fight for Democratic progressive 'light' (read HRC or Obama). The real deal is Kucinich but he doesn't stand a chance because he is TOO OVERT. John Edward's campaign is keeping the progressivism veiled. His healthcare plan really reels 'em in since it gives those corporations a chance to compete against single payer (knowing full well they can't compete due to their high overheads).
The corporations will cut their own throats rather than let JE win.
