News: In “The YouTube candidate,” John Edwards is featured on NPR for running his campaign on candid videos on YouTube.
Analysis: Can someone who witnessed Bobby Kennedy’s campaign for president tell me how similar John Edwards’ campaign looks and sounds?

Edwards has always been a snake oil salesman, winning many millions of dollars convincing gullible juries that he was in communique with dying fetuses, recanting their pleas for medical actions that never came.
After the ruse was exposed, all evidence he presented was disputed and discredited, he promptly gave all the money back. ( just kidding, not a dime)
He chafed at second fiddle to Kerry, longs for the possibilities of power and prestige, since he doesn’t have to work for a living, and will do anything it takes to achieve both.
Heaven knows where the legal system will follow this ambulance chaser and his “progressive” buds. He panders to the usual Democrat interest groups like teacher unions and others, trial lawyers, and anyone he thinks will vote for him if he allocates money and favors to them.
Bobby Kennedy would admire his cleverness and avoid him like the plague.
I think a VP nod is the best he can do again.
But I may be wrong.

John Edwards IS the real deal. He is very much like Bobby Kennedy. They both have Populist messages even though part of different times. I had the priveledge of working on Bobby Kennedy’s campaign. He waould really like John Edwards today. Especially with all his socail messages for the poor. Someone has to help the poor and raise up the middle class again. All of his positions are extremely similar. It is almost spooky.
I pray to God that John Edwards wins- so ou=r country can be saved from the damaged administration. Bush and Cheney need to be held accountable. Bobby Kennedy marched down the streets of Portland Oregon with the black panthers. I was with them and a Junior in High School. Had to start somewhere you know…..
Remember TV was first used as a campaign strategy when John Kennedy ran for President. Now it is U TUBE and the internet. …Long time activist.

Very much like Bobby Kennedy - Uncanny.
A more eloquent orator but so similar in many ways - on issues, platform, analysis…. I too believe Bobby Kennedy would be cheering on his advocacy for universal healthcare, housing and job creation, his determination to share America’s wealth with more of its citizens.
There must be more baby boomers our there that recognize the similarity of message and delivery, despite the studied lack of media time allotted to his campaign.
In a country that admired the Kennedy’s, surely you must be clamouring for more John Edwards!
