A butterfly flaps his wings in New Orleans, and a hurricane of healing is unleashed upon the poor and downtrodden.
By receiving pledges that Obama and Hillary will make ending poverty central to their presidency, John Edwards is able to realize his personal vision of ending poverty, with just the use of a few well-chosen words.
It is widely known among visionaries that it is "manipulation" to include specific persons within your vision. The vision has apparently passed from Edwards into the hands of Hillary and Obama, and will soon pass into the hands and lives who most need the help.
If the next administration did only this, it would be a great success, particularly when compared with the current paralysis.
I hereby nominate John Edwards for the Nobel Prize in Grooviness for being the chief architect of the Democratic Renaissance.
