This guy was Gore’s VP candidate - “a heartbeat away from the Presidency”, had the two of them been elected.
I always thought he was the ideal candidate for Democrats, as he epitomized (and capitalized on) Democrat voters’ obsession with getting their hands on the “free stuff” confiscated for them from taxpayers and handed over in exchange for their votes.
Character, honesty, shame, integrity... none of this has any relevance whatsoever to the typical Democrat.
It’s all about the “free stuff” and John Edwards was their man.
He was perfect, and the Democrats are not lamenting his failings, they are only lamenting that he got caught.
Lieberman was Gore's VP.
Kerry rode the Silky Pony.
