its the sympathy vote vis-a-vis his wife.
but in general, Edwards would be a far tougher candidate then Hillary or Obama would be.
I believe this to be true. People on FR think that just because he is a lightweight, an idiot and a girly-man, he is not dangerous. Pathetic as it may be, this guy could be president.
I have been saying for a while that if Gore doesn’t get in then Edwards will be the Rat nominee. He’d be a stronger candidate that either Shrillary or Osama Obama.
I don’t see how he could be any stronger than he was running for VP in 2004, when he was so inconsequential we forgot he existed, especially after Cheney cleaned the floor with him.
His wife attacking the poor neighbor who lives next door isn’t really going to help him, either.
