Did you know his daddy worked in a meel?
Yes. That was when he was playing his populist role as a common “man of the people.” The fact is that his father made a decent living and had other jobs that placed him in the solid middle class. Like everything else, Edwards engaged in political opportunism to turn the truth into a self-serving lie. When he ran for Vice President under Kerry he didn’t even carry his home state of North Carolina. That’s also why he didn’t run for reelection to the Senate there in ‘06. They knew him!
