I Thank God for Ann Coulter.

She's the best thing that happened to John Edwards' campaign.

Any publicity is better than none, as the media are insistent they aren't planning to cover him otherwise.

Like many others, upon hearing that she had used an address at a major conservative convention to call Edwards a "faggot," I quickly clicked to his home page to see his campaign's reaction -- and was happily diverted to more substantive stuff, such as his firm support of universal health care and an end to the war in Iraq. No wonder Coulter hates him: Edwards is a Democrat who believes in the progressive heritage of his party and is not afraid to tell the world.

Yep. He's too big a threat to the status quo.
