Eh. I liked her, as I posted right after she died, and I'm not surprised at all at the response to her death. It was unexpected if unsurprising, and her life story was a continuing trainwreck, so of course people are going to pay attention to it. My post from yesterday has had more hits on it than any other post in the last month or so. It's also brought a ton of never before visitors to my journal (64 percent of my hits yesterday were never before, and the average is usually in the low 20s).
And personally, though I know the campaigns are starting, I'm still recovering from the last presidential election to start worrying about the missteps of candidates in the next one. My interest in the Edwards blogger thing would be because a) I've been reading Amanda for years and I like and generally agree with what she's said in that time, and b) generally anything that Donahue et. al. has to say, I kneejerkedly react to in the opposite way. I don't know how much interest I'd have if this were about a couple of bloggers I don't generally read and comments from an organization that doesn't piss me off on a regular basis.
