Perhaps Edwards was treated for Depression after the death of his son. He might have been (might still be) part of the Prozac nation.
Which reminds me. Where's the media interest in Kerry's PTSD? Teresa outlined all the symptoms but the media didn't bite. What a surprise.
You wash your mouth out with a Democrat right now!
Have either of you ever heard anything about the article posted on Drudge that Edwards website had a derrogatory page about Kerry posted the same morning he announced his choice??
LOL, "Who let the dorks out?"?? That's a good one Lady Jag!
But they have great hair.
Look for the dirty laundry in Edwardss closet
Tab Turner is a product liability attorney who specializes in SUV rollover cases. At the time he spoke to FRONTLINE, he estimated that he was involved in 170 lawsuits against both Ford and Firestone. Turner believes that the design of the Ford Explorer is inherently defective, and that Ford and Firestone have consciously disregarded the safety of consumers. This transcript is drawn from two separate interviews, conducted in April and May 2001.

In March 2003, employees of Turner & Associates, a law firm in Little Rock, Ark., gave Edwards campaign contributions that appear to have been illegal. One Turner clerk who gave Edwards $2,000 told the Washington Post that the firm's principal, Tab Turner, "asked for people to support Edwards" and assured them that "he would reimburse us." Another clerk affirmed that she had given Edwards $2,000 on the understanding that Turner would reimburse her. Such reimbursements are illegal because they circumvent the $2,000 limit. The U.S. Justice Department reportedly opened an investigation, and in May 2003, the American Conservative Union asked the Federal Elections Commission to examine Edwards for "a pattern of clear violation" of campaign-finance laws. The ACU's chairman said of Edwards, "It's clear that he and his campaign organized this thing in order to allow trial lawyers and their firms to contribute illegal money." As of August 2003, neither the FEC nor the Justice Department had released any conclusions.
The Edwards campaign returned the $10,000 it had received from Turner employees but declined to review the legality of donations from employees at other law firms, arguing that "we don't have any reason to presume irregularities elsewhere."
