John Edwards is the Only One (Sort of)
John Edwards, apparently believing himself to still be a viable candidate, today released four new ten-second ads in South Carolina.
Typical campaign ads run 30-60 seconds, so presumably the length and (ahem) production quality were picked to cut costs. The problem is that it takes three seconds to say "I'm John Edwards and I approved this message" (try it at home), leaving only seven seconds to say anything even vaguely intelligible. And we're using the word "vaguely" very vaguely.
All four have one word titles, also presumably to cut costs. This one is entitled "Beats, which is an excellent title because it's only five letters long. (Very economical!).
The ad asks, "Who's the only Democrat who beats all the Republicans in the recent CNN poll?" and then informs us that "John Edwards is the only one."
That question, however, was probably mis-phrased. It should have been, "Of the three top-tier Democrats, who's the only one who did not lose to any of the Republicans in the recent CNN poll," because, the thing is, John Edwards wasn't even included in the poll.
Or, they might have been using the word "recent" or "CNN" or "poll" vaguely.

Tire of back-biting politics? Mud-sligning and name-calling? That's too bad!
If you think the national leading candidates were hitting rock bottom, Arizona has just set the bar lower, much lower. Unbeknown to cable news pundits spinning themselves silly around polls, Arizona's Primary is destined to make history. A grouping on dark-horse candidacies has doubled the choices for our nation's highest elected office. Project White House 08, a microcosm of the national race, offers as much passion and absurdity as any of the front-running campaigns.
Flip those national campaigns the proverbial finger and join the brave candidates of the Arizona Primary in their bold experiment in politics.
