Do they want to lose? Edwards can't win. I highly doubt that this list is reflective of who Dems acctually want.
Actually, if Edwards had been at the top of the ticket, he certainly would have done better than Kerry did and likely would have won IMO. If nothing else, 2004 shows that a front-loaded primary season doesn't allow enough time for candidates to be properly evaluated.
I agree on Edwards. Wish he had a little more experience but he's got the best message. He gets it.
There is absolutely enough time for candidates to be properly evaluated. Problem is, most Americans aren't going to evaluate until last minute, and the media won't offer much for them to truly be able to evaluate. It is a name game for most people. No primary length or schedule is going to change that.
