Obama, cancel the Oprah events.  Force Oprah to create a PAC that can donate all the free media as an in-kind contribution to your campaign, as she has already exceeded the limit for an individual contributor.  And no, she cannot bundle the in-kind contributions.

And Obama, please repudiate Planned Parenthood, for they are a special interest group who controlled your votes in the Illinois state Senate.

I'm a Hillary person, but Edwards is right. He cannot stop these ads. More to the point, if he even picks up the phone and calls these people, he is breaking the law.

I have a better solution. Why don't Obama and his minions quit whining like petulant little brats and prove you're grown up to inhabit the White House?

You have no idea what you're talking about. You don't know if its tv time or not. You don't know if its mailings to union members (are you really going to get upset about unions mailing their own members) or what. And for God's sake, what in the world do yo u think UAW is doing on behalf of Obama? Good for them for supporting their candidate.

Its as if anything anyone says or does to support Edwards is dirty campaigning. I've never such craziness.

The fear of a progressive populist is almost palpable.

Gee, with all the fawning by the media Obama has recieved, all the free coverage from Oprah, and the millions of dollars he has raised, all he can do is cry like a baby because an independent group finds much more hope in Edwards? I got a better idea, dry up the tears and come up with some real vision!!!

The Audacity of Hype indeed!!

Don't look now but your candidate just did what Obama asked him to do:

Des Moines Register:

 Presidential candidate John Edwards declared Saturday that the country should ban independent political groups that buy ads flattering or trashing candidates, and he said he wished that groups running ads favoring him would stop doing so.

After a rally here, the former North Carolina senator told reporters that by law, he can have no control or over such groups, known as "527s."

"I can't talk to them at all," he said. When asked if he would say publicly that he wished the groups would stop running ads for him, Edwards changed the subject. But later, in Coralville, he said that he did wish the groups would drop the ads.

"I would encourage all the 527s, not just this one, but all the 527s to stay out of it," he said. "But I have no legal authority over that."

Edwards trails his two top Democratic competitors in fund-raising, and he often says that the campaign-finance system should be drastically changed to increase transparency and limit the role of corporations and lobbyists.

Ever since he's taken over the lead he's had nothing but heat from Clinton doing their best Republican imitation from the gutter and now Edwards supporters from the 527s and everything he pushes back and turns it around on them people cry out how's he going to handle the Republicans.  You're watching it, Jack, and in the meantime showing to the apolitical side of the country there really is no difference between the two parties.

Edwards has called on the group to stop the ads good job Obama for pointing this out and good job Edwards for realizing nothing is more important than honor and telling the truth. I would be thrilled if they formed a ticket.

Where were these repudiations of 527s when Democratic Courage attacked Clinton?  Or is Obama only concerned with his reputation?  Obama is sanctimonious, and Edwards should have ignored his desperate cries.  

They are hypocrites, for neither said a word when PACs attacked Clinton.
