John Edwards Fights Off the Repukes

Rudy and Mittens have been attacking John Edwards for his various stances. Some is mudslinging, but most are about Edwards' ideas of helping Americans get a chance to get ahead, something Mitt hasn't experienced, and Rudy has used women and favors from his party.

On the CNN debate last night, Mitt accused JRE of "trying to tear the US apart by stating there are "Two Americas." JRE had this response:



Joe Trippi had this to add via e-mail:

Maybe Mitt Romney should follow in the steps of John Edwards and spend time walking with Americans struggling to rise out of poverty and listen to their stories.

Maybe Mitt Romney should pass on lunch with his millionaire investment buddies -- and spend time, as John Edwards has, with families in New Orleans struggling to rebuild their lives and homes while being ignored by their government.

Rudy Giuliani: Edwards, Clinton, and Obama will raise taxes.

Yeah, and what about it, Rudy? Only on folks like you.

Here's JRE's response from the Communications Team:

“It looks like Rudy Giuliani wants to offer America four more years of George W. Bush – no thanks. John Edwards will deliver tax cut relief to the millions of middle class and working Americans who need it, not the wealthiest few like Giuliani who don’t. But Giuliani’s attack on John Edwards shows one thing – that instead of offering any ideas to help the middle class, he’s more than willing to ignore the middle class and attack the one Democrat who has proposed bold and detailed plans to help American families.

“Truth be told, John Edwards has taken on the Giulianis of the world his entire life and beaten them. And, come November 2008, John Edwards looks forward to beating them again, no matter who the Republican nominee is.”

I smell fear amongst the Republicans. Not good when a focus group of undecided voters (Republican ones mainly) still could not pick an outstanding candidate from the debate last night. In fact, one of them said this:



Well, there you have it. Edwards has the cross-voter appeal. Look out Rudy and Mittens.

New Blog Too Good to Pass Up

It's called Dogs Against Romney. Check it out.

Many of BW readers may not know that Romney stuck his dog in his carrier on the top of his car and drove it all the way to Canada not long ago. Not good for the pooch or nice to read either. Romney didn't seem too concerned. (hat-tip to Chancelucky)

My friend Rox63, who lives in Massachusetts and had to live through a Romney governorship, passed this on to me.
