7. Edwards should attack O'Reilly
Say something trivial, but enough to get the old man riled up. Billy won't be able to resist firing back, and let an exchange happen, effectively drumming up interest in his campaign. Basically turning Bill into his salesman. If Edwards can push the right button Billy might go into meltdown mode and implode right on the TV.

He can start it off by saying something like this to a crowd... "It is important to educate yourselves. It is important to know what you are consuming, and by consuming I am also talking about what you listen to and watch. We're here to change America and one of the ways you can help is simply by turning off Fox News. Don't tune in because they spend hours thinking up ways to spin their news against the Democratic Party and make favorable spin for Republicans. You also have some of their hosts - some of their hosts like Bill O'Reilly who are just... he's a liar and out of touch with reality."

After Bill implodes Edwards will be invited on other stations (non-Fox) to defend what he said, to see if they can get him to apologize. Edwards would stick to his guns and drop his website address during the interview. Begin a campaign to get American's to tune out of Fox News until they really become fair and balanced.

Edwards could also work out deals with MSNBC and CNN to appear on their network to talk about his fight against Fox. It's win-win for everyone.
