So you guys honestly don't get how legislation is made and negotiated in DC?

Insulting post; way to buy into the superficial stuff and assist with "rival" campaign spin.

You can't even name the "rival" campaign? Ugh.

This is typical of First Read and NBC. Can you be any more anti- Edwards? No sense asking that.

Hillary Clinton was picked by God to be President of the USA, just like both Bushes and her husband. The republicans have long depended upon a core group of loyal conspirators involved in the JFK slaying (elder Bush) and W's underage cat house gang (the teenage Condi Rice an avid participant). The Clintons innocent (OK, well, Hillary was innocent) meritocracy and hugely successful first two terms have yielded better results for the nation in their eight years than for the twelve years of the two Bushes combined. Mr. Edwards' voting record is moot.

A good report would include whether or not the Reid amendment was legitimately a poison pill meant to sink the bill, as Edwards' statement implies; without exploring that question, we don't even know if there's a story here.

If the Reid amendment was not a poison pill, and the statement by Edwards was misleading, there is indeed a story here. However, if Edwards is right and it was a poison pill, then this is not a story at all - but we don't get a shred of evidence either way. Either this article is lazy and incomplete in nailing Edwards on a lie, or is lazy and irresponsible in implicating a lie where none exists.

OOOOOOH, score one for you on a gotcha and a -10 for the American people. Too bad you didn't go into the injustice of creating second class citizens with the effect (not un-noticed by Republicans) of disenfranchising mostly the poor and minorities from voting.

Regardless of the machinations on this particular bill, Clinton's vote is just one small reason why Hillary is running neck and neck w Obama for the black vote.
All these other presidential candidates including Obama and Edwards can be saying "coudda", woudda", shudda", all they want; but the proof is in the pudding. She has been voting "right" ever since she got into the Senate and ever since the first Presidential election. She has been not only talking the talk but walking the walk.

Not inconsequential is the high esteem in which Bill is held as the anointed "first black president".(Google it if you think this is something I invented) He is hugely popular everywhere he goes among blacks.

Gee - more Paris Hilton trivia from First Read - but nothing about Hillary's haircuts....

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) had her own minor version of the Edwards treatment after her Senate campaign spent nearly $3,000 in fees and travel for two sessions with stylist Isabelle Goetz.

Bet it has to do with the initials H.C., but I could be wrong. Is Edwards also in favor of giving guns back to criminals after they are released from jail? Sounds like he is not strong on crime. Maybe crime to him is just on a bumper sticker.

Who could have predicted that?

FirstRead either has no clue as to how the legislating works or thye are carrying water for Edward's rivals. Instead of covering real substantative issues FirstRead is showing how its solidly part of MSM.
