Edwards is a moron. He has no original thoughts. Everything that comes out of his mouth is the DLC party line, except for the outright lies : those are his alone. He brags about "Writing legislation" which was passed...and when you look up the bill he's bragging about (hard to do, since he also gets the names of the bills wrong) he isn't even listed as a sponsor.
He's a smoke and mirror creation of the Democrat Propaganda Machine. No wonder CNN interviews him so much.
And he is smoother than some of the raspy dems who croak and screech their putrescence -- it's harder to detect his scummy agenda, which makes him an easier pill to swallow for TV interviewers and unthinking audiences who like somewhat pretty faces with a big smile. All of which renders him the more dangerous.
