…most people don’t dislike trial lawyers the way conservatives do. E-mail:

“Rich, simply because of the circles I inhabit socially here in Orlando (a spot of blue deep in Red Florida) I sometimes feel like watching liberals in the mist from behind my conservative duck blind; Because of my observations, I think you grossly underestimate Edwards’ chances.

While trial lawyers are scum to most of us in the “personal responsability” camp, they are true blue heros to a not insignificant portion of the country who feels that everything that happens to them is a personal slight. Edwards is just the attractive, hip, peasant made good , legally empowered champion of the people that most libs are looking for. He actually talks without relying on soundbites, even if we see through it, many will just realize that he is more “articulate” than the Powerpoint stump style of Kerry or the fevered frenzy of Dean.

I think we conservatives should be careful, if he wins the primaries, he will give Bush a run for his money, and may have more than the slick charm to compare with Clinton.”
