Presumably Edwards would then sue him for emotional distress. :-)
It should at least convince Boy Edwards he is not ready to play at this level. I am horrified by what little experience he has - it's as if he wanted to continue his political career, knew he would not win re-election, didn't want to go down as a Representative, had no chance of becoming Governor - he threw the ultimate of "Hail Marys" as you lot would say, and ran for the Presidency. That's an absolutely dreadful way to find someone to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
The idea of "President Edwards" frightens the hell out of me - Tony Blair has met him and came away extremely unimpressed.
