If the media had not shielded Edwards from exposure in his adulterous affair (which ended this spring), he would not have had a successful showing in a 3-way race with Hillary and Obama. The election may have turned out differently.

It will be fun to remember when Obama cuts military spending, pulls out of Iraq, capitulates with Iran and the PLO, increases taxes, spreads wealth and implements unreversable social programs, strengthens organized labor, exempts broadcasting from 1st Ammendment protection, and appoints justices to watch over, strengthen and protect Roe V Wade for the next three decades, that John Edwards' candidacy's main effect was to take votes away from Hillary Clinton and ensure Obama's nomination.

Hillary would have done all those things, too.
