Mort Kondracke, on Brit Hume’s little roundtable, just said that John Edwards is aspiring to be the George McGovern of the 2008 campaign. He also said that Edwards was an advocate of ‘bugging out of Iraq’.
Flashback: It’s 1972. In one corner is a President that is authorizing burglaries at home and expanding the bombing campaign abroad. In the other corner is a decorated World War Two veteran that knows the war is lost and there will be no profit in spending three more years postponing the inevitable.
Yeah, it’s true most Americans preferred Nixon in November 1972. But then we had the Watergate investigation and the collapse of Saigon. Seems to me that a McGovern candidate is EXACTLY what we need in 2008. But you’d never know that America can learn from its mistakes if you listened to the pundits and editorial boards of this country.
