Rarely has a news release tickled my fancy as did this week's offering from John Edwards. So many nuggets encased in the announcement of his so-called Nevada Leadership Team. First, the team includes Assemblywoman Rosemary Womack, the most invisible lawmaker ever. Second, it includes someone named "Charlie Watterman," who actually is Charlie Waterman, the former county party boss. But the best part is that Waterman is on a team headed by Edwards campaign Chairman Tick Segerblom, an assemblyman who spent most of his early career trying to oust Waterman from power. Hillary Clinton can unite Jim Rogers and Carol Harter. But Edwards got Waterman and Segerblom. That's leadership!
