No it wasnt directed at Hillary Clinton it was directed at the democratic party as a whole. Some times we forget that Democrats can (and in many cases are) as bad as republicans, because they work for the lobbyist too. Which means its one group of money verses another group of money. John Edwards wants to say he doesnt represent big business or big money, he's for the people. The media just tries to make Mr. Edwards appear desperate because he's starting to get the attention he deserves from American people. Dont forget a corporation owns this news station, just like murdouch owns fox, and guess what they all have negative attention for John Edwards. Why? Because he's not going to sucuum to their demands in the political arena. So when you go and vote remember what your voting for.
