Thanks for posting this. I heard about this article and couldn't find it.
Is this suppose to make me feel better about him not represnting North Carolina?
I don't recall him saying "I'll be there for North Carolina unless I have a campaign obligation" when he was running for the Senate.
I don't recall him saying "I'll be there for North Carolina unless I have a campaign obligation" when he was running for the Senate. Every person I've met in recent months who has discussed Edwards mentions the fact that he hasn't been there for his constitutents.
This is coming from people I would guess are not nearly as well versed on political news as we are.
If the average voters are that aware he's been playing hooky, he can forget using a second Senate term as a "safety" when his Presidential bid fails.
