It isn't clear yet, but I detect some family values issues coming over the horizon in 2008. If Edwards is the Dem candidate, he will get no traction against Fred, and he may even slide a bit as people marvel at his insistence on campaigning while his wife battles cancer.
Whereas if the Republican candidate were on his third marriage, Edwards would look faithful and overflowing with character by comparison.
And character is an issue. In fact I consider it THE issue, always. If a man falls short in that, how can he be trusted to lead, and to deal with all other issues?
