John Edwards made it official today with his speech in New Orleans announcing his candidacy.
Edwards will probably be able to count on strong union support, and he's polling well in Iowa, where he had a surprisingly strong second place finish in 2004.
But with unemployment at only 4.5 percent, it's hard to see his "two Americas" speech gaining much traction.
Also, the campaign is already a comedy of errors. Not only was there the embarrasing incident of him trying to score a Wii from Wal-Mart the same day he criticized the company, but the timing of his announcment came from yet another "staff mistake":
Edwards' announcement was made in the wake of President Gerald Ford's death and after his campaign accidentally launched his campaign Web site a day early, then shut it back down.
