Judging from the reaction on the right, left, and in the MSM, Edwards' ad has done what no other ad has done -- build some momentum behind the "stop the corornation" sentiment. Ads are judged by the impact, the effectiveness and the buzz they create and by that standard no ad has come close this poltical season with the possible exception of the Apple Big Brother video. Is it a documentary? Will it convince conservatives that Edwards is a great guy? Certainly not. But it is working and it's far better than anything the hapless Obama has said or done to disrupt the Hillary march to victory.
