Towards an Edwardsian theory of change
Apparently, Clinton and Obama are "sparring" over Clinton's comments that Lyndon B. Johnson produced "change" by passing the Civil Rights Acts of 1964. According to Clinton, this "began to realize" Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "dream." According to Obama, "some folks" feel that this diminishes the efforts of MLK, Jr.; Obama, though, swears that he isn't (necessarily) part of these "some folks."
Edwards is piggybacking on The Legits' scuffle and, of course, is on Obama's side, saying,
“I must say I was troubled recently to see a suggestion that real change that came not through the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King but through a Washington politician. I fundamentally disagree with that,” Mr. Edwards said before more than 200 people at a predominantly black Baptist church in Sumter, S.C."
Given Edwards' stated interest in producing real change, can anyone explain to me why he is not campaigning for admission into a theological seminary and is campaigning to become, again, a Washington politician? I am fundamentally baffled about this.
