Edwards Announces "Plants for Hillary"

plants_for_hillary.jpg Earlier, David asked how nasty tonight's Democratic debate is going to get. Judging from the Edwards campaign's actions this afternoon, reeeeeally nasty.

Via an email to reporters, Edwards just announced the group "Plants for Hillary," parodying groups like Veterans for Hillary and African-American Women for Hillary and taking the frontrunner to task for the planted question scandal that isn't really a scandal.

There's even a website, plantsforhillary.com, which the campaign calls the "one-stop shop for all Americans interested in growing the Hillary plant movement." It's pretty crude, kind of mean, and a just a little bit funny.

The campaign calls it a "grassroots" website. I think it puts a new spin on slinging mud.

Well if Obama isn't going to try to win, Edwards is going to have to. Otherwise, it isn't really a race anymore, is it? If everyone keeps hailing Hillary as the inevitable nominee we might as well just look at the rest of the primary season as a ceremony, not a race.

Oh, it's not mud -- it's perfectly fair. Planting questions? Totally undemocratic, Bush-like and bizarre -- deserves to be made fun of, called out, and investigated.

What a colossal waste of energy. I had expected better than that from John Edwards.

If you think that's all he's doing, you aren't paying attention.
