Democrats: Champions Of Democracy
DETROIT (AP) - Democrats John Edwards and Hillary Rodham Clinton consider themselves among the top presidential candidates.
They were caught by Fox News microphones discussing their desire to limit future joint appearances to exclude some lower rivals after a forum in Detroit Thursday.
Edwards says, "We should try to have a more serious and a smaller group."
Clinton agrees, saying, "We've got to cut the number" and "they're not serious." She also says that she thought their campaigns had already tried to limit the debates and say, "We've gotta get back to it."
Not really surprising coming from the folks who tried to eliminate the secret ballot for unionization voting so unions could strongarm people more easily.

This is a non-story.
Someone overheard a candid chat about campaign strategy, well stop the presses. Every candidate, from both parties, does this kind of thing constantly. I don’t even see why it’s worth mentioning.

In a sense, I sympathize with the desire to cut the field to the serious candidates, but I don’t see how that includes Edwards.
