      I walk away feeling pretty good about myself after all the crap I see here everyday.

      if I read you right you are saying that Edward's message of changing our system and drastically reducing corporate control of our government is less important than breaking the glass ceiling?

      Could not disagree more, respectfully so.

      I would rather have a "rich white man" attempt to change our broken, corrupt system than have a female or an African American man put a coat of gloss over it. It is the system that needs to be changed; the personal sex or skin color of the one who changes it (whether female, black or white) is, or should be, a secondary concern at this time.

        and society as a whole is to blame for that not me.
        dkos is a drop in the bucket. Apparently there is a new mind-set affot and I see that as progressive in the BIGGER picture.

      •  the character changes the play (0+ / 0-)

        Not that this is how it must play out, but to have a POTUS that is obviously not cut from the same cloth as every single POTUS in our history carries an expectation of change. This would be true in the foreign policy arena, where a clean break from our arrogant recent past is critical to any resuscitation of our clout in the world, but also on the home front.
        Though Edwards is saying more "radical" things than either of the others, he would likely run into more resistance than they would in attempting to enact real changes on our nation and our political system. Also, the ever-nauseating pundit class will prattle endlessly about how the election of Obama or Clinton is a "mandate for change"(thus giving it the OK), whereas an Edwards win would be a "victory of the base over the sensible people".
