ROVEBOT ON A MISSION:

Edwards's strategy could benefit Obama (Peter S. Canellos, November 6, 2007, Boston Globe)

All last week, the former North Carolina senator raised the level of his attacks on a woman he has portrayed as too willing to continue the war in Iraq, too quick to set in motion the forces that could lead to war in Iran, and too much a part of a "broken system that's corrupt in Washington."

His real target seems to be her integrity - suggesting she is compromising on her principles to get elected, both by softening her stances on issues and submitting to the ways of Washington.

It's a powerful critique, rooted enough in what voters have seen of Clinton that it just might succeed in handing the Democratic nomination to Senator Barack Obama of Illinois.

Come to Papa.
