A few updates from my selfless efforts keeping an eye on John Edwards so you don’t have to. The former senator has been in Connecticut raising money for Lamont, says Lieberman should get out of the race, and all his senior aides from the ‘04 campaign have signed on for ‘08. He has campaign organizations set up in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. The Democratic party has scheduled the South Carolina primary just a week after New Hampshire in 2008. Unlike in 2004, Edwards’s native state won’t be sharing the spotlight with a handful of others. His political PAC’s website (confusingly called “One America”) offers podcasts of his conversation with Jimmy Carter and has a special appeal to “citizen journalists.” His children remain adorable. John “Two Americas” Edwards, who wants to be president of both of them, is working it hard — he bears watching even if we can’t bear watching.
