Is anyone watching John Edwards' Town Hall? Surrounded on all sides by old Iowa hausfraus, shut-ins, pea-pickers, chattin' all folksy-like about the Sudan an' Global Warming, John Edwards has finally become Andy Griffith in A Face in the Crowd.

Elsewhere, Al Sharpton is shouting about James Brown. Is it too late to vote for him? Sharpton or Brown, we're not picky.
