Edwards supporters may lose, but they can teach some of us in different camps a few things. (10+ / 0-)

I disagree with their opinion of their candidate's chances, and the whole kingmaker argument, but it's there's to make, at least at the moment. Unless they're promoting their candidate by disparaging Sen. Obama I will not interrupt them.
However, there's a lot to learn about the way they've approached their advocacy on DKos.
They manage to publish every tiny little news item about their candidate, representing it in the most positive light, and then they manage to universally recommend it so that it gets on the recommended list. There are more Edwards articles on the recommended list at any given time than for the other two candidates.
They get their articles back to the beginning of the diary list by publishing the same diary with a tiny update.
They are very consistently on message, except for a few renegades who are flamers running around knocking down other candidates.
They manage to publish Edwards planks as diary entries daily. This is informative.
They are also very defensive, but so are Obama and Clinton supporters.
So Obama supporters. What do you think? Can we learn from them?
