I see that was not clear the way I phrased it.

I liked Edwards for his speeches about "the two Americas" but another DUer pointed out that he did almost nothing in the Senate and is a friend of corporate interests. So he may talk the talk but not walk the walk. I don't assume the poster is correct, but in 2003 and 2004 there were reports from North Carolina that he couldn't have been re-elected because of voter anger that he'd spent his Senate term campaigning for president inside of taking care of business in D.C. I would have to look into his Senate record myself before considering voting for him.

I haven't researched him myself because I supported Dennis Kucinich in the primaries and voted for the Kerry/Edwards ticket because it was either that or not vote.

I think Edwards has handled this very badly, defending the women and allowing them to resign instead of making a strong statement against the views they expressed and asking for their resignations (or firing them.)

They've both resigned now and his campaign has "no comment," which is certainly troubling. Do they think this will just fade away?
