This was my initial reaction to the Edwards speech over at the Reason site. Upon reflection, I’m amazed at how few commentators outside of the in-house GOP axis have noted that fiscally Edwards laid out an essentially Mondale-era plan.

I doubt we’ll get much different from John Kerry tonight. Sooo which talking head, if any, will ID Kerry as a mega-state, social democrat in the grand European tradition of Bismarck?

And, oh, you watch, Pat McCrory’s Boston duty as a rapier-like Edwards counter will land him a sweet speaking gig in New York City next month.

All together now: NEW YORK CITY!
