The Edwards folks have commissioned two posts from me on the minimum wage. The first one deals with economics, and marshals lots of economic evidence to say that raising the minimum wage won't cost us jobs. [they took down the site, so the link is dead now.]
The second one, due to go up on Wednesday, will go into why the minimum wage is an especially good issue for Democrats.

Well, he wants a national minimum wage of 7.25 per hour, and he's pushing for all manner of state ballot initiatives to raise local minimum wages.
