LINK: I read David Frum's diary like normal, and came across this:
"Finally, isn’t there a very real possibility that the centrist-seeming Edwards might actually be the Democrat most vulnerable to an opportunistic campaign by Ralph Nader?"
David Frum offering electoral advice to Democrats? Clearly something is up--and I think that something is the very real fear of facing John Edwards in November. Sucks when there's a guy who can pull of the President's shtick better than he can, huh?
And anyway, as Ralph Nader pointed out after Florida in 2000, Democrats lose a lot more moderate votes to Republicans than they do fringe votes to the Green Party, so they ought to be following the votes...

that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
