Biden has the perfect strategy... other dems should follow if they want to compete with Hillary
Advertisements [?]
Biden and his feud with the Ghoul has been brilliant, and it achieves a number of things. First, it unites the base (even non-Biden supporters are cheering him on). Second, it shows how one would fare in a GE. People want to know that a candidate can win, and Bidens ability to run circles around Rudy is a great indication of his ability to win. Finally, as Edwards proved during his feud with Coulter, it's a great way to stir up interest in your campaign, and it's a great way to gain some media attention.

If I were to look at this objectively, I would say that Obama and Edwards would have a much greater chance of catching up with Clinton, if they were to focus their energy against one of the Repug candidates. Going negative against Hillary has not worked. Believe it or not, but many (probably *most*) dems outside of DU don't *hate* any candidate, they just *like* one candidate. Going negative on fellow dems probably isn't the most effective strategy, going negative on the Republicans is proven to work. That's just my two cents.
