Well, I heard John Edwards speech and thought, giving the circumstances, was a decent speech. Heu look, therre is no "mandate" here, just as there was no mandate when Bush lost the lection 2000, so what is the opposition party supposed to do?

Like roll over like a dead dog?

Hardly.

Would Tom Jefferson roll over like a dead dog?

Heck no, he wouldn't.

So now it's time for the Dem fraternity to figure out how to chip away at the 3% of the voting population to see how they can chip away at the margin. Energizing your folks is a given 'casue those folks represent yer 48% and you can't just tell them to go home, lay out by the street with their feet in the air like a dead dog.

Fir anyone who has followed American politics for any lenght of time, Edwards speech falls into the Campaigns 001, a non credit remedial course in politics to get one up to the knowledge level of the average animal cracker...
