The Final Ed Word

Well now. If John Edwards had offered the performance on the campaign trail that he put in on "The Colbert Report" Thursday night, he might still be in the race, and up a jet ski. He did pretty well and "The EdWord" was pretty funny. Indeed, the final episode in Philadelphia as a whole was a tour de force (or tour de farce if you will). Hillary Clinton got the first word and Barach Obama the last (on a video screen Clinton fixed in the opening). But the highlight really was "The EdWord." He made a lot of interesting points in his few minutes on what would be required of a candidate to win his backing. The most important of which is that he should be made a spy. Maybe Edwards still has a place in this race after all. On the back of a jet ski.
