64. When was the last

time either really covered the issue of poverty in the US? I haven't seen it, unless I've missed something. Both seem to be very good at covering issues that matter to liberals - Constitutional abuses, the war, Bush gaffes, etc. But not poverty - which seems to support the OP's point that maybe liberals don't care as much about that issue. John Edwards & Bill Clinton have done much more to bring attention to the problem, IMO. So I could see the argument that supporting John Edwards = supporting an end to poverty. When it comes to Olbermann, etc. the connection seems tenuous at best.
