On "Hardball" today, Elizabeth Edwards took aim at the media.
Host Chris Matthews began to talk about John Edwards' second-place in Iowa, comparing it to the results in 2004, when John Kerry took first place.
Edwards interrupted. Why was he beginning the discussion with that, she asked? "We lead with the winners," Matthews replied.
EDWARDS: But I—you know, but—and that happened to us, too, in terms of John Kerry getting a lot of press. The other thing, of course, we had the "Dean scream" in '04, which sort of made second place, which John had—not mean as much because you all covered that, as opposed to the second-place finish. Now, of course, you're covering Hillary's third-place finish instead of John's second-place finish. So we're still fighting against you guys.
