EDWARDS: We're Reaching For Our Prozac Right Now

MyDD's David Mizner makes the case John Edwards is doing "amazing" despite "the effort of the elite media to take him down." Mizner blogs: "Recent polls of the first three states have Edwards ahead in Iowa and tied with Obama for second in New Hampshire and Nevada. ... One of the big un-discussed stories of the race is that Edwards is not slipping, a la McCain. On the contrary."

More Mizner on 'elite media' dislike of Edwards: "It's his earnestness that most offends elite journalists. ... Jaded and often depressed, scornful of people fortunate enough to have strong beliefs, journalists think Edwards is a moralizer and hope to lay him low with charges of hypocrisy. They want us to think Edwards is as cynical as they are. But he's not."
