Yes, we assume it's her, but knowing what the other primary candidates is saying can be effective, and believe it or not - the Democrats are talking about issues that resonate with voters

In healthcare, for example, though the rest of his plan was socialist, Edwards did stress preventative care. In his plan, it's a magic wand that saves money, but in all seriousness, healthcare reform that includes heavy doses of preventative care, especially at the SCHIP, Medicare, and Medicaid levels, can save hundreds of millions of dollars, if not more.

And it's an effective attack against Republicans, because we're not talking about it.

As for Republicans - it would be nice to see one. Who do you think is standing on the hose? MySpace and MTV, or the Republican presidential primary campaigns.

Check out those numbers again. It's a big chunk of the electorate we fail to address as a party, and it takes so little to get involved. 82,000 votes? Are you telling me our candidates couldn't change the mind of or fire up 82,000 votes?

It's another example of campaigns that are fundamentally running yesterday's campaigns. I have more for you offline, David.
