Bubbling Over For Edwards By The MinuteMan The NY Times editors have an oddly ambivalent reaction to Edwards, which they precede with a bit of Kerry-bashing - Kerry is "an extremely well-qualified presumptive nominee running a lackluster campaign. The euphoria of so many Democrats over Mr. Edwards's addition to the ticket yesterday comes from their hope that he can juice things up." But they are keeping their eye on Sen. Edwards as well: It is likely that Mr. Edwards will be dispatched to critical industrial states like Ohio to talk about jobs, as he did with such force in the primary. We hope that he'll refrain from falling into protectionist rhetoric in the process. He has a habit of giving angry workers the impression that he's in favor of far more drastic action against job outsourcing than he has ever actually advocated. The public debate would be better served by more candor. Edwards hasn't even spoken, and they are already worried about his lack of candor? Ah, well, it's only July - they'll be won over soon enough. Edwards will grow on the trail, a newly-hopeful America will respond to his freshly honed message... the Times may be full of surprises, but their coverage of Edwards will not be one of them.
