Why did this guy have to affiliate himself with the Democratic party to begin with?

He was a horrible VP pick in 2004 and a dreadful candidate in both of the last two elections.

Now they're trying to argue "Oh, don't worry, we knew about it, and we would have sabotaged the campaign if it looked like he was going to win the nomination."  Right....I'm sure the fact that they didn't either resign or blow the whistle has nothing to do with the fact that they wanted to keep collecting paychecks.  I wonder what they would tell the Edwards volunteers in Iowa, New Hampshire, and other early primary states today?  "Yeah, we knew you were wasting your time.  We knew you were working your butts off for a candidate who was doomed, but we didn't say anything, because we wanted to keep getting paid."

Yeah, that's what I really don't get.  If they knew about this and hoped to sabotage the campaign, they should have quit from the get-go.

I find it hard to say that these folks are any better than Edwards himself.
