I thought this captured the difference in communication skills that separates Edwards from Kerry:
Edwards fired off the night’s best line in response to Kerry’s tortuous answer to a question about whether he feels “any degree of responsibility for the war and its costs and casualties”: “That’s the longest answer I ever heard to a yes or no question. The answer to your question is: of course; we all accept responsibility for what we did.” (The Dean campaign followed up with a press release stating only, “Memo to John Edwards: You are so right.”)
