Former Sen. John Edwards, who ran for president in 2004 with an unfailingly upbeat campaign and then joined the ticket of his party's nominee, has come back this year with a fighting edge - an edge which Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York has likened to "mudslinging... right out of the Republican playbook.''

"I don't think so,'' Edwards said of the complaint which Clinton lodged about his criticism for her in the debate of the Democrat candidates in Las Vegas last week. "The idea that that this is mudslinging... We're talking about substantive issues of war,'' Edwards said on CBS News' Face the Nation today. "If anybody, including Sen. Clinton, thinks this is mudslinging - this is milquetoast, compared to what we're going to see next fall.''

We DO NOT need another antagonistic president! It is critical that we repair our global relations or we are doomed.

Obama '08

I can't stand the Clintons anymore. And I voted for large dog twice.

I happen to think all this early primary season dissent is a good thing for the Democratic Party.

To be sure, we CAN go a bit overboard in our criticism of each other, but if that gives our enemies a bit of temporary comfort, then so be it.

When November 2008 rolls around, it will be OUR ideas and dynamism which appeal to the majority of Americans yearning for change.

As a liberal Democrat, it will hardly matter to me, which of our current candidates win the nomination, just as long as we start moving our country in the right direction.

If you think this early dissent is bad, imagine how it is SOOOOO gonna suck being a Republican on the night of November 4, 2008.

Hillary Clinton, while you were a Goldwater Girl, I was helping to cancel your vote. You'll never get this Demo's vote.

Rather than vote for Hillary, this Demo will stay home on election day. Not vote? first time ever.

If Hillary thinks that Edwards was mudslinging like a Republican - man is she in for a rude awakening if she is the nominee.

She ain't gonna believe it once the Republicans start digging into her.

Juno, Bush is definitely a man after your heart. He loves to give everyone a name to bully them. It's a frat boy playground stunt to belittle and feel superior. You've repeated your little name over and over, a name Rove and the rest came up with.

Keep repeating the little taunts over and over hoping they sink in. They ain't gonna work on me or anyone else here. I took my kids to see Edwards in person in 2004. I can still hear the taunts from the frat boys outside the building where we stood waiting for Edwards. The crowd answered their taunts of "Four More Years!" with "Four more wars" which is about how it's worked out. We listened to Edward, my son shook his hand and I don't think I've ever seen a politician more sincere or believing in what his message is.

BTW he paid $400 dollars for his haircut because the person that cut it had to drive all the way across LA to give it to him. What's the big deal? If you'd been that barber it would have made your day, or would you have called him lawyer scum & said I'm glad your wife has cancer. Your post fits right in with the title: mudslingin­g...you're all ready for it...

If she keeps controlling the media the way she has been she will get not only the nomination but the presidency.

She is the best politician of the pack; her controlling of the opinion is unreal.

I do not think that any republican can win with this media savvy machine.

She looks good in all the pictures, her answers are always the best, when she stumbles her comebacks are exaggerated. The media is under her thumb. I just love it.

How much longer does it take to get it,your Bone-heads across this land of make-beliefers:
Hillary is the only one suited for President!
All that bull-crap you hear,read or write about her,well,does`nt that make perfect sense to see her as the best candidate there is ?
Hell yes .... what this " country requires " is a " woman President ". Period.
If only to have "a woman" clean out that pig-stay,once called the White House,that those Repubs have turned it into ever since.
More Power to Hillary...­.eat your hearts out!
