John Edwards Can't Be Black or a Woman

Elizabeth Edwards is bemoaning the fact that it's hard to get attention for her husband's candidacy:

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, is gaining attention for recent comments on why her husband may receive less attention from the media – and campaign cash — than the two leading Democratic candidates.

“We can’t make John black, we can’t make him a woman,” said Edwards, referring to Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton during an interview with Ziff Davis Media about the Internet’s role in the 2008 presidential election. “Those things get you a certain amount of fundraising dollars.”

The interview was published Monday.

They may not be able to make him black, but they've gone a long way toward the woman thing.
