Brooks Extols Edwards
On the Jim Lehrer Newshour yesterday, David Brooks, a conservative commentator, raved about John Edwards, the Democratic candidate for president! What news! These words of David Books speak for themselves:

"What John Edwards had going for him [in Iowa] is first of all he's the best campaigner I've seen since Bill Clinton. His speech is the most fantastic stump speech. I followed it around four or five times just because it's so much fun. You see the crowds. They go crazy. The best moment in the speech. He's talking about himself as a trial lawyer. He said I was this little trial lawyer and went up against the corporate interests, the corporate lawyers, the best money can buy, dignified people. You can hear them thinking Republicans. Then he says 'and they looked at me and said what's this guy doing in the courtroom with us? We're the best and the brightest.' Then he turns to the crowd and says, 'you know I beat them and I beat them and I beat them' and the crowd is going crazy because they know this is the guy who can beat the corporate Republicans. Its a fantastic, its the best moment. And that's just...he's just a fantastic....the Republicans want to get overconfidence cure, go to a John Edwards rally."
