Edwards on New Hampshire TV
John Edwards is up with this television ad in New Hampshire.
It ends on Edwards' increasingly familiar line, that the president needs to ask people to be "patriotic about something other than war."
And in other Edwards video news, his campaign has sent out a fund-raising spot starring... Ann Coulter.

Coulter knows that altruism is the work of Satan and the evil weapon of the Liberals. Selfishness is the message of Jesus and the consevative movement in th U.S. Selfishness is a gift from GOD. "You are your brother's keeper", is the evil philosophy of the liberals and will destroy our country if not stopped. Coulter and her love of GOD AND COUNTRY is the only hope in this non-Christian world. I pray for Ann every day and twice on Sunday.
than "C. Penn Reader" from Detroit.
Or better yet, how would Ann Coulter respond if Jesus himself came to her door asking for something to eat and something to drink? First, Ann would not answer her door. Her housekeeper would. Second, the housekeeper would be instructed to shoo the vagrant man in sandals and sackcloth away because he is obviously a bum who has somehow wandered into Ann's Upscale Neighborhood. How dare he. Third, Ann Coulter would not know Jesus if he came up and hit her over the head with one of her own books. This book should be called "How to Talk to An Idiot..If You Must.." Someday the Powers that Be will judge Ann Coulter the same way she has judged the rest of us who don't share her bigoted point of view. I anxiously await that day.-- Josh Benson

Coulter Hangover
You can hardly blame Hillary Clinton and other New York officials for responding to Coulter's noxious take on the 9/11 widows, which seemed to cross a line familiar even to those who remember some of her greatest hits in the past. From a political standpoint, they could hardly have taken a pass.
But from a commercial standpoint, they were props. Their criticism gave Coulter an opportunity to go back at Hillary, elevating her commentary on the 9/11 widows into something resembling a political debate, and allowing her to star in the resulting windfall of publicity.
The predictable consequence, of course, was that sales of Coulter's book - which, like The Omen, came out on 6/6/06 -- spiked. The Post reported that she "appeared to be laughing all the way to the bank, and that the book reached No. 3 on Amazon after yesterday's back-and-forth. At one point, it actually got to No. 1, where it remains this morning.
(Sales on the initial release date, apparently, were relatively modest, but picked up yesterday once the story reached the conservative media outlets.)
But I wonder if that's just a temporary reaction, and whether Coulter went too far this time even for her devoted fans. After all, even they must see the widows that she attacked as Americans who were tragically vicitmized by terrorists on 9/11.
Right?
Here's one of the 528 (528!) customer reviews posted on Amazon as of this morning:
I've enjoyed some of Coulter's books and talks, but reading this book this time just pushed me over the edge. Ms. Coulter goes too far in her venom against democrats. I'm a registered Republican and I find her comments offensive in this book. She comes off as very bitter. Coulter's become a hypocrite not to complain about Lisa Beamer being used as a political billboard by Bush immediately following 9/11. Is it ok for victims to be political billboards, so long as they advertise for Republicans?
