One thing I can add: from the interview on CBS right after Kerry picked him, Edwards has a bad habit of grabbign somebody's arm and interrupting them to make HIS point.
Yes, he "loves ya, man", but he "must" emphatically make his point. Because he cares for you.
Then, of course, there is that blink thing!
Exactly. But to him that's "innocence", his anti-Cheney, his "See? See? Ah would nevah harm you. Ah care about you."
But there's really not a whole heckuvalot under that shell, so someone, please, crown him Miss NC and get him the heck outta politics.
