Axelrod and Edwards Didn't Get Their "Groove" on...

In a very Axelrod-heavy interview, David Axelrod tells CBS' Jim Axelrod that he "didn't groove" with former client, John Edwards

In a very Axelrod-heavy interview, political strategist David Axelrod told CBS correspondent Jim Axelrod that he “didn’t groove” with former client John Edwards.

David also told Jim in the interview, which aired earlier today on”CBS Sunday Morning with Chardles Osgood,” that he didn’t think Edwards “was terribly interested in the sort of drilling down of policy and really coming up with solutions.”

He and Edwards had worked together during Edwards’ unsuccessful Presidential run in 2004 — a professional relationship that stands in stark contrast with another former Axelrod client, Barack Obama.

“It was striking to me the difference between the two of them, because Barack always wanted to drill three and four levels deep on these things,” said the political strategist.
