1) Yes.

It's not just that the media narrative was set a long time ago. It's interesting to see that he's not from an actual elite. Hillary comes from an extremely well do to family. Whether we like it or not, Obama hails from the blackeratti.

I don't know if only because he is the white guy he can talk about unpopular issues. Gravel, Dodd, Kucinich ... where are they now?

And look how Richardson, by distancing himself from minority issues was anyways wiped out.

Edwards has not had significant endorsements from party insiders or leadership. He certainly is cash strapped given all the money is being pumped into either Clinton or Obama's coffers.

Look at the numbers and you'll see : He is just not liked by the powers that be in Washington. Kerry certainly didn't endorse him. Instead he went with Barack.

So, I think it's an interesting dynamic. The fact his platform is about economics and not just politics, makes him an even greater oddball.

2) No.
If you read my letter, you will get whom I am voting for. That other letter is coming out tomorrow.

I just think it's really important to have a voice of discontent among the majors. I think it's really important for the front-runners to not feel comfortable with their wins. And honestly, I do want to see the mess of a brokered convention. That would be, from a wonk's perspective, AWESOME.

But No. My letter does not diminish my "come to Jesus moment". Tomorrow I'll post about that.

Stay tuned.
