Maybe They Need a New Tailor

Yesterday, Bubba admitted that liberals will "tailor" their message to get the appropriate response.

Yesterday, Nightline showed a clip of Edwards saying this:

I'd say if you live in the United States of America and you vote for George Bush, you've lost your mind.

See, this is the problem with trying to tailor a message. You no longer have complete control over how far that message spreads. I'm sure Edwards was talking to party faithful, trying to rally them since the campaign appears to be sinking rapidly, and this is the kind of over the top comment that would be sure to get a cheer from the crowd. But it won't play in Peoria.

All this will do is alienate moderates and undecideds, as well as fire up the Bush base.
