Maybe with the loss of manufacturing jobs in NC and elsewhere and Edwards' speeches about it, his candidacy may really resonate with union voters.  How do unionists view trial lawyers?  Good, I'd guess, but I'm not sure.

During Edwards' career as a trial lawyer he always used to champion populist causes(ie; Us against Them. Us being normal people, Them being big business) and he's always made a lot of his blue collar background (his Dad was a textile worker).
He was also very nice to Gephardt in his speech last night.

Yeah, but did he do work for any unions? Any union cases or whatever?

I'm not sure.

Gephardt is like the Dole of the Dem party.

Oddly enough, the Dems had the good sense to not vote for the guy who's raison d'etre was that he was next in line.  I still think Lamar Alexander would have placed better than Dole in 1996. I'll shower now, having used French.

Lol..French is a nice language, too systematic and life-less, but still nice.
