Elizabeth Edwards reminds us just how cynically Democrats approach issues of race and gender:
The Web can be liberating. “It’s about bypassing the sieve of the mainstream media,” says Elizabeth Edwards, wife and confidant of Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards. “The idea that you have people standing between you and the voter is diminished, and the capacity to speak directly empowers candidates to trust their own voices.” With Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama hogging media coverage, campaigns can push their messages without paying for ads.
“In some ways, it’s the way we have to go,” Edwards says. “We can’t make John black, we can’t make him a woman. Those things get you a lot of press, worth a certain amount of fundraising dollars. Now it’s nice to get on the news, but not the be all and end all.”
I guess this uncomfortable reality (for them anyway) forces them to deal in ideas and that’s where they always come up short.
