I'm very puzzled about Edwards' run. Just why does anyone think this man is ready for the White House? He's only been a Senator for less than one term and he is a lightweight if I've ever seen one. Yes, he's got the looks, but that image is shattered as soon as he opens his mouth. And he's a trial lawyer! Who wants one of them in the WH? Is there someone backing him that we don't know about? Why? I just don't get this one.

He is a liberal but plays as a moderate, he is pretty, he has boat loads of money and support of trial lawyers everywhere, he is from the south, he has no baggage.....

You are correct, there is no earthly reason that anyone should take this yahoo seriously, but they will and the dims/media are desparate to get someone who can win and Edwards may be the one.....

The NC GOP is still in shock that he won over Faircloth....do not take him lightly....

Well the Dems did try to bring back Mondale and Lautenberg .. maybe they are trying to bring back the look of Bobby Kennedy.

You're right to be puzzled because it is just this paradox that makes him dangerous. He's a liberal Rat trial lawyer and for those who know, this is a bad thing. But in Clintonian America this is a positive.

Back in '92 an empty-suit, pretty-boy made-by-TV womanizer came out of a backwater southern state and the idiot sheeple bought his schtick to the point of kicking out a man who was at least more honest and had a real record of achievement. Remember, we're living in an age where accomplishment and achievement and personal integrity seems to be looked down on as somehow "unfair", "mean-spirited", or being obtained not by honest work but through taking advantage of someone else, the old you-built-your-success-on-the-backs-of-the-poor class warfare gambit. My guess is that the Rats and the media will spin Edwards' lack of experience and accomplishment, except as a trial lawyer suing the life out of "evil corporations", as admirable attributes, ones we should want in a President.
