The best thing about Edwards speech this morning was the framing of the Iraq War Escalation as the "McCain Doctrine". Brilliant framing and if we all use this phrase in the next year as the miserable idea falls flat on it’s face then it will hang around McCain like an albatross in 08. Let’s work to make the "McCain Doctrine" a MSM phrase.
More after the jump...
From the Washington Post:
"In his campaign video, recorded Wednesday, Edwards directly criticized Arizona Sen. John McCain, who is seen as a leading candidate for the Republican nomination and has recommend sending more troops to Iraq to help quell the violence there.
"We need to reject this McCain doctrine of surging troops and escalating the war in Iraq," he said. "We need to make clear we're going to leave and we need to start leaving Iraq."

P.S. - I have no horse yet in this race so no, I am not pimping for Edwards.
