...Amanda Marcotte still supports John Edwards. Puts to lie the media framing of "bloggers vs. Edwards". It was all along "bloggers AND Edwards AND many more ordinary people vs. the Establishment (of both parties) AND the Right Wing smear machine.

I don't know. I lost a lot of respect for Edwards because of how he handled this. Not because I think he forced them to leave, but because he asked them to appologize for their entirely reasonable posts, done before they worked for him.
Must admit that the only potential Democratic candidate that i can get any excited over, is Al Gore, who hasn't ruled out running yet.
Doesn't mean that I wouldn't prefer just about anybody the Democrats can put forth over the Republician field, but that is setting the bar pretty damn low.

The echos will not die out for a while. there are a few perspectives from which to view this affair and the dramatic way it revealed the nature of right wing attack machines, MSM angst about bloggers and the gross asymmetries of attacking religious oppression vs attacking a person. Even though I am dubious about the hiring wisdom of Edwards' campaign in Amanda's case, I think both parties have picked themselves up and dusted themselves off and gotten well back to the businesses they seem made for. Edwards netroots outreach picked up other great netroots talent and picked up where left off.
