"I have a dream"

No, actually. I have a theory.
Or two or a million of them, but compared to a thousand points of light...
well. Point one. Sometimes the media takes things out of context and sometimes the candidates say things just to get coverage. Duh. Point two. Republicans are a nightmare. They talk about the American Dream, but they are only good at keeping it a dream. Recent exchanges between two of the top three candidates for the Democrats have been fueled by the media, and even progressive hosts seemed to blow on the flames of what is really a battle between flip-flop and nuance. Not that either are not explainable, but neither the media nor candidates sometimes meet the test. Now Edwards is not really part of this, and it should not be a strategy to be, but if were not for this waste of air time and campaign time, maybe they'd be focusing on the issues that he is actually fighting for.
