Should Elizabeth try to draw Hillary into the boxing ring?

Sure. Why not? Edwards political career is finished. He might as well go out with a bang.

Unless, of course, he gives a s--t about seeing a Democrat elected in 2008.

Please bring it on Elizabeth.  Make our day!!

Another nonsense diary.  So, Edwards should forfeit any chance (be it slim) at the nomination so Obama benefits?  Leaving aside for a moment that people would just consider the talk desperate and way beyond the pale, why don't you ask Michelle Obama to go all dirty and nuclear?  

It is either this diary is some sort of underhand way to knock Edwards out of contention to benefit Obama or its just the most bizarre advice to ever give , no way are you going to be hired as a strategist.

This is a rabid Obama supporter who wants to play some game here. It's a cheap trick to help Obama get some miles. Edwards is not that stupid especially if he is really gaining some momentum against Obama these days.

Loudmouth Elizabeth Edwards might have been respected once but that has dried up considerably since she started her tacky rants on everyone- plus she is married to the world's biggest hypocrite and seems to think that's okay- who can respect that?  But yes, please, have her keep opening her big mouth- it drives people from her hypocrite husband's campaign every time.

Don't quit your day job.

Not very subtle there, champ.  The Clinton people are much better at this Machiavellian BS.

You don't like Hillary Clinton and want to see her attacked.  Thats fine but it wouldn't be wise for the Edwards campaign to go down that road.

I say this for a couple of reasons.

One, they have gone down that road before, with comments made by Elizabeth and it didn't help them.  In fact some may argue it hurt them.

Secondly, the Edwards campaign got off track and started to slide backwards earlier this summer when Elizabeth was out there making her remarks about Hillary, Coulter, etc.  She became more of the focus of the campaign than John at one point.

Now the campaign seems to be back on track.  Edwards has refocused his message and starting to get the union endorsements that everyone assumed would come.  His campaign is probably functioning better now than it has all year.  Why get off message and take the focus off John again?

That is not to say that he shouldn't be taking Clinton on.  He is doing that with his stance on the war, corporate America, and poverty.  But I think having his wife go on the attack and in a personal way would be dumb.

Without a doubt the stupidest advice anyone could give to the Edwards campaign. Since you are looking for a catfight at least have the courage to request that your candidate's wife start the fight.

Dumb, dumber and dumbest advice all wrapped up into one.

You can't have a movement by simply saying that you have a movement.  It has to actually exist and be real.   Furthermore you can't start a movement like kick starting a motor bike.  Movements grow on their own.

I think the Obama campaign was misguided in trying to conjur up the whole movement nonsense.  It made him look lame after a while.  I mean after a while people caught on --- it was just empty campaign talk.  That cheapened his brand.

Uh, I don't think Elizabeth Edwards could hurt her husband's campaign any more than she already has.  But hey Elizabeth, whatever floats your boat.

I've also noticed that the only time John gets some media attention is whenever Elizabeth attacks Hillary , and because john gets little media attention , this is good for him..It lets people know that John is still running.

The above is both sad and hilarious.
