Slightly off-topic, but props for using Vimeo. They launched at the same time YouTube did only with a superior concept and product, and if there were any justice in the world, they would have had YouTube's success.

Both these guys are VERY LOOSE. A very good sign for John Edwards. Thanks J R

That's some great stuff, Marc.

Good times.

I wish people would get over that Kucinich support thing from last time. You could have probably fit all of Kucinich's first choice supporters into one high school gymnasium last time.

It was not a significant enough total to significantly alter Edwards' numbers. Edwards surged in the end and almost won because of his work ethic, not because of Dennis Kucinich.

On the FEC/ActBlue, I'm put off by how you asked the question. "The money ActBlue bundled for you..." is simply not how that money was raised. I was one of the tens of thousands of donors who made small contributions online and the campaign simply used ActBlue as a pass-through to process the donations.

No one came to me or anyone else and said "give to Edwards through me so I make sure the the credit goes to our industry/lobby/interest group."

Is the difference so hard to understand? I think the question about financial resources is a fair and good one to ask, but you posed it in a classic MSM-cool-kid "gotcha" style that really is not worthy of what you're trying to do on this site.

Can Marc, or someone else, explain what happened in the middle with Trippi all of a sudden not wanting to be in the same shot as Price? Don't they work for the same campaign? Is there a hierarchy issue or something?

Check out this article, it outlines a strategy on how the Edwards campaign could defeat Hillary Clinton. Check it out at http://thirdrailradio.blogspot.com/
