John Edwards is angry, ...His message is resentful, confrontational and paranoid, verging on the openly hateful. And Iowa audiences are loving it.
Edwards is like a stand-up comedian who has honed his act down to the most effective material. In the case of the comedian, all that’s left is laughs; in the case of Edwards, almost all that is left is unbridled hostility.
