Reply #4: Perhaps because EE was the attack dog in this scenario.

I do recall Bill got alot of shit for performing that role early in the campaign dealing with Obama and Hillary's war votes in the Senate.

What I question is the campaign tactical wisom of having a candidate who is lampooned as girly having his wife as his attack dog while at the same time claiming he is the better President for women.

Was it the worry of backlash if it was Edwards himself who attacked her on women's issues?

I just don't understand the mindset there.
