| | If Jim Edgar were to enter the campaign as a progressive reform candidate, he could not only hold on to the thinking Republicans but earn the support of many Democrats as well. | | | Most likely, the reason Edgar is toying with a comeback bid is that early retirement is getting boring, or he wants to prove to himself that he can still win. | | | He would make a formidable ally for a progressive, reform-minded governor, were Edgar to step up to that plate again. |
