This is a great speech by Edwards, who is apparently experiencing a "surge" right now in Iowa.

Let's face it, when corporate protectors like Stu Rothenberg--so happy in his gated city--attack you for being too populist, you're doing something right (yes, populism also failed that "crazy" man named Franklin Roosevelt who spoke of "economic royalists," as it equally doomed Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, LBJ, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. Oh yeah and that guy who won the popular vote, Al Gore).

I'd pay good money if people like old Stu would just once pick up a history book before opening their ignorant traps. In any case, Edwards talks about, in plain language, what we have spoken about in our War On Greed campaign. There are no deals to be made with the Henry Kravises of the world...
