Edwards Reaganesque Speech Scares The GOP

Edwards focused instead on what he felt America once was and can be again.

"Together, we will ensure that the image of America -- the image all of us love – America, this great shining light, this beacon of freedom, democracy and human rights that the world looks up to -- that that beacon is always lit."

It sounds Reaganesque, and it is. And that's exactly why Karl Rove and his colleagues in the Bush-Cheney campaign have such a hard time dealing with John Edwards. Out of the box, the Republicans -- aided by media allies like Tucker Carlson -- laid into Edwards as a personal injury trial lawyer who's made millions off the suffering of others. The attack seems to have little traction with voters. While trial lawyers may be the great Satan for Bush's big business supporters, 69 percent of registered voters questioned in an NBC News poll said that Edwards' trial-lawyer past wouldn't influence their vote -- 14 percent said it would make them more likely to vote for him.
