If there's one person who knows the perils of running too hot, it's Joe Trippi. Four years ago, he managed Howard Dean's angry-outsider campaign, which came to a screeching stop in Iowa. This time, it's Edwards playing the anti-establishment Dean role—and one of his top advisers is Trippi, who is once again urging his candidate not to hold back. "After all he's been through," Trippi says, "he understands it's not worth selling your soul to win an election." Trippi's experience with Dean also should have taught him that there is a line a candidate has to be careful not to cross. On the campaign trail, no one wants to hear you scream.

With Eleanor Clift, Richard Wolffe and Arian Campo-Flores

    CKF0921 and jamster800, thanks for your pro-Edwards campaign advertisements. Next time don't omit the "Paid for by Edwards for 2008 campaign" line when you post political advertisements for the Socialist and Populist John Edwards who represents the leftist moveon.org wing of the Democrat Party..

    We don't need a president who's proposing billion of dollars of Socialist and Populist programs to pay the poor to vote for him. The taxes needed to pay for those programs will bankrupt the middle class and the government.

    CFL0921, Edwards got his fortune through questionable tactics as a trial lawyer. He once claimed that he was channeling a dead person in court to try and get the jury to support his client.
