Yet Edwards' mild tone -- in contrast to his fiery attacks on a corporate-dominated Washington -- suggested that he prefers to have Clinton take the lead in the controversy.
The Edwards theory is just that, a theory. The momentum is now with Obama even in a progressive blogosphere that has been favorably disposed toward Edwards. For example, Daily Kos's regular canvas of its readers found a substantial bump upward for Obama between October and November.
The big choice Edwards faces will be whether to move his campaign more to the sunny style that became the trademark of his 2004 effort. Edwards insists that he's as optimistic as he ever was.
Given the flow of the news, he has to be. Edwards needs a January surprise. If he achieves it and pushes one of his leading foes into third place, he will revolutionize the Democratic campaign.
