That's not true.  Edwards is popular because he speaks to people's concerns.  He has been running on the two America message for several years now.  Therefore it is also not accurate to accuse him of reinventing himself.

It is fair to criticize him for pushing a different agenda nationally than in North Carolina.  The same is true of President Johnson's support for civil rights.  He didn't lift a finger for civil rights before he became president.  Edwards has become a critic of inequality, privilege, and poverty in America.  That's a good thing.

Having said that I am quite upset about Edwards' AIPAC language regarding Iraq.  It reveals that he does not understand the basics of national security.

Iran is a bad actor but it is not worse than Stalin and the Soviet Union.  Stalin did not use nukes because we could deter him.  We will do the same with Iran if the mullahs ever get the bomb.

An Iranian bomb is a problem but it's not the end of the world.  It's time to chill and pursue our national interest in a calculated and reasoned manner.
