paranoid randroid posted:imagine having your campaign be so badly mismanaged that Karl Rove turns serving on a swift boat in such a capacity that throwing away your medals during winter solider was national news into "lmao this pussy shot himself in the foot" That was the first campaign I was old enough to really fallow and I just remember thinking, why the gently caress isn't this guy suing them? Like it's not going to go away just because you ignore it.

He was running on an excellent platform, had by far the best healthcare position the three serious candidates, secured the Steelworkers endorsement, had pro-union education policy, and put antipoverty front and center in a way that not even sanders did (recall his campaign launch in New Orleans). And he was a strong communicator who commanded media attention. If he had a hint of personal integrity he could have certainly won.

While both Edwards campaigns talked about poverty, I distinctly remembered his 04 campaign being really centrist, while his 08 bid was as left wing as possible at the time for a "serious" Democratic candidate.

Matt Zerella posted:Hell, we know this from recent history. 2004 election came down to one thing - gay marriage. Bush was against it, Kerry wasn't. Was gay marriage the right thing to do? Irrelevant in this instance, because the electorate was heavily against gay marriage. The dems moved faster than the population, however, and they got their asses handed to them. Gormless.

Karl Rove was the Bannon of his time. just an offensive little gently caress that nobody respected. even the man who he propelled to office called him "turdblossom" all these GOP hatchetmen are the unloved tag-alongs of some frat-boy sleaze that will forever want to dunk their heads in the toilet

all this edwards talk reminds me of something from the 2008 election https://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/07/13/open-mike-moment-sparks-debate-about-debates/ quote:Representative Dennis J. Kucinich accused two of the major contenders for the Democratic nomination, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards, of participating in a “conspiracy to rig the presidential election,” after they apparently suggested that future presidential debates should be pared down to include fewer candidates. quote:At the end of a forum with the eight Democratic presidential contenders in Detroit on Thursday, Mr. Edwards walked up to Mrs. Clinton, leaned toward her and said: “We should try to have a more serious … smaller group.”
