Trippi: John Edwards is Karl Rove's Nightmare

From CNN Political Ticker:

Rove knows that Democrats will rally around whomever he attacks—so he attacks the candidate he thinks Republicans can most easily defeat," Trippi wrote to supporters in a fundraising e-mail. "It may seem backwards, but Rove and his cronies did the same thing last time around. In 2004, they were scared of John Edwards, so they attacked John Kerry."

"Rove is using his sneaky, underhanded tactics to try and trick Democrats into rallying around a candidate who won't be as strong as John in the general election," Trippi added.

I think Trippi is right. Read the rest for yourself here.

Bill Maher on Bill-O's Show is a good example how this may be true.
