Edwards slams Dean again for Confederate remark.

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. John Edwards is hoping to revive his stagnant campaign, and has seen an opening provided by Howard Dean sticking his foot in his mouth this past week. Edwards, along with retired Gen. Wesley Clark, is one of two southern candidates in the race.

Dean raised a valid point last week during the debate in that Democrats need to convince more voters in the south that their party is more in tune with their needs than the GOP. Unfortunately for Dean, the fact that he didn't articulate that concern very well has left the frontrunner open to a feeding frenzy from his competition.

The fallout from this may lead to more Dems concluding that while Dean could win the nomination, he could also be a longshot to win the general election.
