Edwards: No Name Calling Then Calls Coulter 'She-Devil'
What is going on with the Edwards Campaign? Is the only way for him to raise money consist of bashing Ann Coulter? Or bashing Fox? Maybe he should worry about Obama and Hillary. Is his Campaign getting desperate?
ABC News' Rick Klein Reports: Former Sen. John Edwards on Friday fired the latest round in his ongoing verbal feud with Ann Coulter, calling her a "she-devil" at a public event before quickly adding that he shouldn't engage in name-calling.Edwards, D-N.C., was railing against the right-wing media -- including Fox News and Rush Limbaugh -- when he reminded a crowd in Burlington, Iowa, that his wife stood up to Coulter in a public spat earlier this summer.
"We know these people. We know their game plan. They're going to attack us personally," Edwards said. "They attacked Elizabeth personally, because she stood up to that she-devil Ann Coulter. … I should not have name-called. But the truth is -- forget the names -- people like Ann Coulter, they engage in hateful language."
In June, Coulter went on ABC's "Good Morning America" and said she had learned her lesson after being blasted for suggesting in a joke before the Conservative Political Action Conference that Edwards was a "faggot." "If I'm gonna say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot," Coulter said.

gmony714, if you look at teh polls Edwards is so far behind obama and Clinton he has no real chance f a nomination. Which is hard on his ego as teh VP candidate 4 years ago. I think these are signs of desperation and to remain relevant at all. Good stuff.
