Edwards spent the last four years studying poverty and wealth. He traveled the country and informed himself. He talked to the poor. He worked for a hedge fund.

I find it interesting to note that, while Hillary and Obama studied political science before getting their law degrees, Edwards studied how to manage a textile factory. I suspect that Edwards has a more practical background in economics than the abstract historical stuff that Obama and Hillary learned in their Ivy League, top schools.

A lot of people claim that Edwards spent the last four years in Iowa. Those same people question why he is taking the strong, populist stances he is taking. They know the answer, you know the answer to your question. You just don't want to admit the truth.
