I'd like to delay it until after the 2012 elections. You may start November 7

After reading that "Game Change" book I'm a lot less critical of Edwards. His wife seemed like a pretty awful human-being.

He also sounded like a genuine guy until he got sucked into his megalomania.

IDK he never sounded like a "regular guy" to me, there was always something very off about him. And that's when I was about 16 and doing the whole "anybody but Bush"/"populist"/moderate hero thing and theoretically should have loved him. I remember actually thinking Dean sounded like a likable guy, though.

Just what I was thinking.

John Edwards: an ambulance chaser who tried to paint himself as working people's friend, while getting expensive haircuts. A phony family man who, indeed, cheated on his cancer-stricken wife.

I considered him phony as early as late 2003 and, as later developments showed, I was right.

What was so "genuine" about him at any time?

Also, regardless of any "character" issues, he was badly overrated as a politician. Six years in the Senate without real accomplishments, did not bring anything to the ticket as Kerry's RM.

Read "The Politician" by Andrew Young.
