The Politics of Positive Thinking, by E. J. Dionne Jr.

Washington Post

Dionne says Edwards is positioning himself as the pro-ideas rather than anti-Dean candidate. That seems to have been Edwards' angle for a while, based on the debates I've seen. If you'd asked me which 3 Democratic candidates I liked best about a year ago, I would have said Kerry, Edwards, and maybe Dean. Now, I've lost a lot of respect for Kerry, but I like Edwards more than I did before. In fact, Edwards is the Democratic candidate I could most live with as President, I think.

I might eat those words later.
