i didn't have any trouble with this. it's a very entertaining outline of a john edwards speech. a snippet:

<clip> 8) Bush is as bad as a socialist. Key paragraph: "This [taxing people who work and not people who don't work] is the most radical and dangerous economic theory to hit our shores since socialism a century ago. Like socialism, it corrupts the very nature of our democracy and our free enterprise tradition. It is not a plan to grow the American economy. It is a plan to corrupt the American economy."

[ . . . ]

In a nutshell, Edwards is trying to turn the traditional politics of left and right upside down. It may be too crazy to pull off, but it's easily the most interesting thing anybody in this race has said so far. </clip>

might even be worth reading the whole speech on edwards's site, but saletan's take has its pluses. http://www.johnedwards.com/page.asp?id=125
