John and Elizabeth Edwards may not be on the 2008 presidential campaign anymore, but they are on a different campaign: making connections between the costs of the Iraq war and our weak economy.
Elizabeth Edwards, who is good about making constructive criticism of the media, observed that reporters

General Clark went well beyond the mainstream Democratic Party in preemptively positioning himself, and those who stand with him, to confront a growing threat to peace, and also to our Party. For those who picked up on Clark's stance early the lag between him sounding an alarm and more people hearing it has been hard to accept, but as hard as it's been for the netroots to take that danger in, compared to the institutional Democratic Party they have been relatively quick to respond.
