Edwards Campaign Continues Media Tweaks

Yesterday, it was a press release complaining that Edwards didn't receive his fair share of coverage. Today, the campaign is trying to wound the media's sense of pride by pointing out that Frank Luntz's focus group preferred Edwards' debate performance.



Edwards has a point of sorts, although the campaign's verging on whiny about it. Edwards has a rationale to stay in the race if he keeps accumulating delegates, and as the only Southerner, has a shot to win some of the Feb. 5 contests.

But, if we were playing Jeopardy! and Edwards, Clinton and Obama were listed as the three choices, the question would be: "Who Is John Edwards?" (and why does he belong in this category?)
