Of all people to bring up in the midst of the DNC, none other than John Edwards. Appearing in yesterday’s N&R, Los Angeles Times columnist James Rainey wonders why that Edwards –and his pet issue —weren’t invited to Charlotte:
The loss of another narcissistic, self-destructive politician might not amount to much in some ways. But along with Edwards went a moment in Democratic Party politics when national figures talked about an issue that has all but disappeared from the agenda — poverty.
Probably because the Democrats were so focused on talking about how better off we are now than four years ago…..

The DNC has been over for four days. Remember? You boasted of not watching it.

While watching the Republican Convention I wondered when former President George Bush was going to make his appearance.
