John Edwards, today:

“If Mayor Giuliani believes that what the president has done is good … and runs a campaign for the presidency saying ‘I will give you four more years of what this president has done,’ he’s allowed to do that. He will never be elected president, but he is allowed to do that,” Edwards said.

Giuliani Communications Director Katie Levinson, a short time later:

“We are glad to see Rudy’s criticism of the Democrats not understanding the terrorists’ war on us is starting to register with them.
“John Edwards’ track record of predicting election outcomes speaks for itself.”

I had said that Rudy’s attacks on the Democrats were jumping the gun; usually you have to prove oneself as the best nominee for your own party before making the case against the other one. But if the other side starts taking the bait, I think the proper response is, “game on, man.”
