Today, Eli wrote on Firedoglake,

Finally, a comment on populism’s upside that I couldn’t integrate gracefully into the rest of the post: When done right, like in John Edwards’ great New Hampshire speech, it reminds people who are struggling of why they’re struggling. They’re not struggling because of the blacks or the gays or the immigrants or the women’s lib, they’re struggling because the rich and powerful have rigged the system for their own benefit. This would be a very powerful message for the Democratic party, if they cared to use it.

The website itself linked in this quote provides the transcript of Edwards’ speech. Take a look, and see what you think. If you know of a better speech, let me know!
