John Edwards runs again
John Edwards, former candidate for U.S. President, has come back for round two promising “a grass roots, ground-up campaign where we ask people to take action.”
Election season is upon us. Let the PR machine begin.
UPDATE:
Apparently, Edwards is already aiming fire at who he thinks will be his opponent. YouTube. Scan to about 1:22, and you’ll hear him attack John McCain on Iraq.

In the political sense I sometimes feel that PR would better signify “Propaganda Regurgitation”. Public Relations would entail relating to the public, something that few politicians have been able to accomplish. Somehow I doubt Edwards will do much better…

There are a lot of people in politics who are nothing more than spinsters for progaganda. It\’s shameful to the profession.

Russ:
I would like to get your reaction on the timing of the release. Is anyone paying attention to this junk on Christmas week? Saddam has just been sentenced to die and a former President has died. Doesn’t seem like good timing to me. The only large news site that I saw give him main story coverage was CNN for a couple of hours this morning.’
Thoughts?

I\’ll chime in on this in a post because I noticed that he didn\’t get quite the coverage I thought he would.
