The presidential candidates spent the last Sunday before the Iowa caucuses attending church services and staging big rallies to make last-minutes appeals as new polls suggested tightening races in both the Democratic and Republican fields.

With three Democrats scrambling for the lead in Iowa, which holds its caucuses on Thursday, the candidates tried to paint their opponents as flawed for the challenges facing the nation.

Edwards talks about fighting special interest groups except when it comes to Washington based 527s. Edwards talking about stopping the influence of lobbyists but Obama has actually DONE something to stop the influence of lobbyists.

Personally, I'm praying that it's either Obama or Edwards that gets the nomination. Otherwise it's Hillary.

because of rise of regional powers around the world (because of oil prices etc) and with it the need for multilateralism and diplomacy, as well as the need for leadership in global warming, the future of the United States depends on restoring its image as a friendly nation.

It's not that Obama is "too nice"; it's either that he's naive, or deliberately moving to the center. Negotiating a compromise with the health insurance industry means pandering to it.

For the same article,

NYT headline: Candidates Step Up Attacks in Iowa

HuffPost headline:Edwards: Obama Too "Nice" For The Presidency

Seems to me that someone at Huffy is getting real nervous that Edwards might win Iowa.

It's hilarious how they are reacting.

I don't think Obama is nice at all, especially the way he has dogged John Edwards, during the entire campaign, Hillary got off nicely. Most of the comments made to Hillary, were about Hillary, not being clear on how she stood on the issues, immigration, healthcare, the war in Iraq, first saying one thing at a rally and another during an interview, and I believe John brought up her vote on Iran Kyl-Lieberman vote doing Bush's will, and labeling Iran's military a terrorist group, so he and Cheney could justify an attack on Iran. It's seems Obama jumped in after that and still hasn't stopped, I wouldn't call him nice at all.

White people are afraid to address the real Obama, for fear of being called a racist I'm afraid. Hey if walks like a duck and talks like a duck it's a duck.

Huffy is being nuaghty again. Another hit job on Edwards.

Here's what Edwards really said:

"You can’t nice these people to death,” he said, referring to insurance companies and drug companies. “You’d better send somebody into that arena who’s ready."

Nice has it's advantages. It's always a wise to wear a friendly smile when you walk up to cold cock someone.

Edwards is a loser. He had to apologize for all his horrible voting record in the Senate and now he thinks he can lead this country. He has no judgment and thinks fighting and yelling is the only way to get things done in Washington. Hes nothing but a phony politician.
