John Edwards almost always finishes in the top two in these debates (with perhaps Joe Biden edging him out a couple of times). But the media have set the agenda that the Democratic debates would be all Obama and Clinton. Well, Obama certainly didn't earn a "B+," as alleged in this piece. He always does poorly and did last night. He's not a debater. In any case, he's done as a candidate.
Hillary Clinton has not done well the past couple of debates. As times goes on, her unflappable demeanor has gradually disappeared. I hated the fact last night's debate was all about her; the media have gotten their marching orders that she must be the nominee--ANYTHING to keep John Edwards from getting traction.
We know, if we are honest, Edwards has AlWAYS excelled in these debates, but the corporate media, representing the financial elites in this country, will not allow him to get enough face time because he is addressing the class issues which have been so disastrous for the American people.
And how was the face time for the candidates last night?
Can you imagine how far Biden could go if he even had half what HRC had? He got in a lot in the little time he was given.
