From the page: "But for all the historical significance attached to having a woman and an African American in contention for a major party nomination, the Clinton-Obama showdown is a familiar confrontation between an establishment powerhouse and an upstart young Turk, solidity versus excitement. In the frame of the current campaign, it is experience against change. Most Democrats will admit that, in the end, they can live with either one. But as we draw closer to actual votes being cast, the value of punditry and speculation begin to fade and the Democrat who seems most comfortable in his own skin and most secure at his core is John Edwards, who is neither the Establishment candidate nor the Excitement candidate. Still, as Clinton and Obama increasingly find themselves playing call and response, saying things to upset and derail each other, Edwards is emerging as the feisty voice in the back field talking most directly to the voters."
