What are your words of wisdom about Edwards, Jeff?

vince

though i'm rarely short on words, i've no wisdom on anything political
[as well as innumerable other things].

edwards is tainted by the last run, imo. great guy, capable,
intelligent, works very hard at everything he undertakes. really was a
good and compassionate lawyer. not as good a senator, primarily because
he abandoned the job early to try to get a better one. i'm ****ed at
him. i gave money & worked locally to help elect him to the senate as a
democrat. we needed him as a senator, for the good of our state. despite
his iraq stance, he had real potential to make a difference. he gave up
the senate too early in his political career to pursue a personal and
larger ambition that allowed his seat in the senate to go to Dole.
perhaps he thought he might not get reelected to the senate, but i doubt
it. nc needed him in the senate, not as a vice president.
