  •  This doesn't bode well (2+ / 0-)

    From the NYTimes:

    Mr. Edwards’s spokeswoman, Jennifer Palmieri, said Tuesday night that the campaign was weighing the fate of the two bloggers.

    Bad answer.  If the Edwards campaign folds like a cheap tent, that's just wrong.

    •  But I can understand their dilemma. (0+ / 0-)

      The swift-boating, Republican-American, pres candidate would surely use those words-

      ''The Catholic church is not about to let something like compassion for girls get in the way of using the state as an instrument to force women to bear more tithing Catholics,''

      to tar Edwards.

      I would suspect that his campaign wants to decide if they need distractions like that.

      I personally don't think it should be an issue, but I'm not a Catholic voter that Dems will be working hard to get back.

      If Liberals hated America, we'd vote Republican.

        I think the swiftboaters will find more than that to try to tar Edwards.  Donohue's fussing is nothing; if Edwards can't deflect this bullshit, what's he going to do once the serious campaigning gets underway?

        No, the question here is will the Edwards campaign be courageous and defend the women they hired?  Or will they fire them in an effort to avoid defending hiring them in the first place?

        The point is, Donohue's complaint is bogus and if the campaign cuts these two loose, they're giving Donohue more credibility than he deserves.
