A strong team

From an old project of mine (now defunct)

Today, Iowa holds its county conventions. One of the things to watch is whether Edwards supporters stick together, as Edwards has urged, or whether they splinter off, either to Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.

It reminds me of how much more the Edwards and Obama campaigns have in common with each other than they do with Hillary Clinton's campaign, which is now leveraging the wealth of its top donors to intimidate the Democratic National Committee into adopting procedures that will allow Clinton to win the nomination.

At this point, Hillary Clinton's campaign is not about you -- it's about her. John Edwards' and Barack Obama's campaigns were and are about us.

David Mizner has a good diary at Daily Kos on what Edwards brought to the race -- and in my opinion, what he could bring to the campaign if he endorses Barack Obama.
