34. Edwards had the guts to come right out and say it...that sealed it for me
On CBS news one evening the candidates were all being asked "what was your biggest mistake?" All except Edwards answered with platitudes. Without hesitation Edwards said "voting to authorize the war in Iraq."

No messing around, no the-intel-was-bad excuses, just a straight up full-eye-contact "I fucked up."

My respect for him went up a whole lot at that point.
