Edwards versus Edwards

In a recent comment to a comment, we promised to say no more about John Edwards, given his irrelevance. But just like the folks running for office, you can't count on anything we say here.

A couple quick points. First, Edwards' campaign manager Joe Trippi now openly admits that Edwards' strategy is to stay in and see if he can become a spoiler, taking just enough delegates to deadlock the Democratic convention and become a Kingmaker.

How nice.

Second, we couldn't agree more with Charles Krauthammer's column in today's Washington Post, "John Edwards: Losing Ugly" on the basic problems with the man--today he's against just about everything he voted for in his brief stint as a U.S. Senator. Edwards is less grounded than Romney.

We liked John Edwards a lot in 2004. Had he stayed himself, he might even have had a shot this time around. We don't think he'll get to be Kingmaker at the convention. We sure hope he won't.
