"Edwards: "I'm absolutely in it for the long haul. I'm a different choice from Kerry, I come from them [the average American], I've been fighting for them all my life."

There is a diconnect in this phrase between the two uses of the word "them." Somewhere between the first "them" and the second "them" he became better than "them", and joined a higher class of people.He should have said "I've been fighting for "us" all of my life.

I guess collecting huge multimillion dollar settlements changed his "them-ness."
