Out spent by 300%.....it it outrageous and stunning to think Clinton and Obama have not made a dent.....all that money.....and Edwards is gaining in Iowa.

America deserves a leader who is able to size up the competition and plan out a strategy.

Well dear Edwards supporters......take heart....there is more to come.....much more

Read a fabulous diary - at www.mydd.com

here is a snip

. Edwards Rises and Hillary Drops

Hillary and her supporters are sad. And shocked. Shocked and sad. Saddenly shocked that Edwards would have the temerity to criticize her. On the issues, no less!

Note to Taylor Marsh and others: when Edwards blasts Hillary for taking two different positions on Social Security or for deceptively claiming her vote for Kyl-Lieberman was a vote for diplomacy, those are issue-based critiques. Just as when Team Obama blasts Edwards for inconsistency or questions his authenticity because he's moved left, those are issue-based critiques.

Are Edwards's swipes at Hillary pointed? Yup. Tough? I hope so. You'd think Clinton and her supporters had never seen a tough election; but of course they're just pretending to be dismayed as they call Edwards angry (God forbid) and negative (Allah have mercy.)

Calls for civility are the last refuge of the Establishment.

Listening to their nervous calls for Edwards to lay off, you start to sense that he's getting somewhere. Sure enough, he's on the move in New Hampshire and nationally. The last Rasumussen tracking poll has him with three of Obama. Don't let up, Johnny Boy.

Meanwhile over at Openleft, Stoller and Bowers are expressing dismay that it was the mainstream press that has brought down Hillary's numbers, and perhaps it was. But what do they think gave her the lead in the first place? Her positions on the issues? Baaaahhhh. The Tweety Giveth and the Tweenty taketh away.
