John Edwards Post-Speech Speech

The Edwards campaign made a savvy move by having the former Senator provide a rebuttal to Pres. Bush's latest spin on the Iraq War. Edwards, who bought airtime on MSNBC, argued that Congress cannot keep funding an open-ended conflict -- echoing what Sen. Jack Reed did in an official Democratic response -- and that the president must come to Congress with a definite plan for withdrawal, and Congress should suspend funding of the war if he refuses.

I thought that Edwards did look presidential on some level and seemed determined, as he has been of late, to have his message heard by the American public.
