Curiously, even the firms' support staff and trainees are apparently desperate to help Mr. Edwards. At least 20 people on his fund-raising report are listed as "paralegals" and another nine as "legal assistants"--and all gave the maximum $2,000 to his campaign. One receptionist at the Alabama plaintiffs' firm of Morris, Haynes & Hornsby also gave the full legal amount.

We were trying to figure out what a secretary in Alabama earns these days when the Senator's campaign announced it would return $10,000 to employees of a Little Rock, Arkansas, law firm after one law clerk acknowledged that she expected her boss to pay her back for her $2,000 donation. Michelle D. Abu-Halmeh said that her boss, Tab Turner of Turner & Associates (SUV rollovers), "asked for people to support Edwards," and said "he would reimburse us." Mr. Turner then told reporters that he wasn't reimbursing her, because "apparently" it was illegal to do so. Apparently?
