The thing that stood out for me was his willingness to admit he was wrong on the original Iraq vote and wrong to defend it later.  How many other candidates or office holding dems have the courage to say that?  And he didn't mince words about Bush's cherry picking of intelligence either.

To me it's the first step in winning my support...If you voted for the Iraq Resolution, you have, as Desi said, "some 'splaining to do."

Edwards did the job...as for the reverse racism I don't get Jane's comment.  That didn't register on me at all.

This does not mean I would vote for him in the primaries, necessarily.  I was at the Washington Days event in Kansas last year and this year and Edwards gave the better speech over Obama in my opinion.
