You can generally count on reporter/columnist Gloria Borger to parrot the Washington center-left consensus talking points.

As for John Edwards, both he and his wife have been busy attacking Clinton’s Washington connections and money, touting his “not for sale” candidacy?only to see his campaign lose altitude as his persona diminishes. (In one debate, Edwards took a dim view of the color of Hillary Clinton’s blazer. Imagine what he would have said if she had been the one to get a $400 haircut.)
