John Edwards and Barack Obama have been swinging away at Hillary, and will have to do so tomorrow evening in the next debate.

I wonder if in tomorrow night’s debate, Edwards or Obama will play to the Democratic base’s paranoia about the “right-wing noise machine,” by asking, “if Hillary Clinton is the best choice for Democrats, why are the Republicans always talking about her? Don’t you think they’re talking about her because they want you to vote for her?”

Related thought — how would Hillary react if Edwards came out with a comment about the Lincoln Bedroom being for rent when her husband was president? Would a “John, I’m disappointed that you’ve reached the point where you’re desperate enough to repeat right-wing talking points” get Hillary out of it?
