and of course there are some conservatives that don't think that he is conservative enough....heh!

I think most conservatives don't think he's conservative enough, but what are their choices?

I think that's what I was trying to get at with my statement of the obvious.

I wonder if we weren't in Iraq if a lot of conservative voters would just stay home.

You mean, you wonder if either Edwards or Clinton could get people to the polls vs. McCain?

I like Edwards much less than Obama, but I'm not particularly likely to vote for either.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding what you meant.

if people would be paying this much attention to the election if edwards was in instead of Obama.

I don't think there'd be as much positive coverage if Obama weren't in the race. I think a lot of people, particularly in the media, are kind of desperate for someone to believe in after so many years of kind of compromised, tainted, or just kind of unlikable candidates. Obama is allowing some of them to set aside some of their cynicism, and they're really enjoying it.

I'm not sure that it would equal a solidly good presidency if he is elected but it's making the campaign better for some.
