I think hiding his mistress was a legitimate campaign expense. I mean, look what happened to his campaign when it all came out, eh?

Does anyone know if Edwards from speeches/positions was more progressive than Obama?
Someday I hope we get someone approaching George Mcgovern/RFK/MLK/Lennon/etc

I wonder what Kucinich saw in Edwards on the campaign trail.
What every politician needs in their closet is a good degausser. Hard to believe they don't know that.

If one pile of shit could point at another pile of shit and call it a pile of shit it's name would be Andrew Young.

I'd guess that's pretty close to the mark. I haven't looked into it much, as I was no fan of Edwards, but he had a big following of well-off supporters, the type who can get a Dem elected if he plays them right, so why WOULDN'T the spooks send a fetching videographer his way to get some paydirt in case he pulled it off? She wouldn't need to be agent. That's how they work. If they can't blackmail a pol through his pants they get him publicly loaded and splash it all over CNN for a week, or kill off members of his family, or go the suicide /ski / car/ plane accident route. It happens just about every other week.
