Bear with me as I take a moment to free associate some ideas here...
Back in the day, people were talking about John Edwards as the next Bill Clinton. he was young, energetic, and had good hair. The media and the leftyshpere loved him.
But Edwards was never able to live up to the hype that surrounded him. He took his one term in the Senate and made a go at the presidency but failed and wound up on John Kerry's sinking ship.
Enter Barack Obama...
One term as senator. He's young, energetic and has good hair. The media is in love with him and the leftyshphere has embraced him too.
Will Obama flame out like Edwards has? And I don't mean have an affair...I mean politically...
