1. Are you speaking of the "political" fray?
If so, I think he has proven he is staying above the "fray" unless he is attacked. At that point he would rightfully defend himself.

3. false dichotomy
Both.

It's a matter of priorities and picking and choosing your battles to make best use of your resources for an appropriate and clearly identified objective.

Do you ever watch boxing?

4. Difference between fighting personally and fighting for causes.

He said exactly that at the debate.

5. he certainly believes in fighting for his policies
he was more willing than Kerry to challenge results so I don't think he'd be passive about election issues.

6. Edwards said he was taught to never start a fight, but also to never walk away
from one someone else started.

I believe he will remain above the fray on personal issues, but will defend his causes.

7. Did you see the SC debate? He does both, in a very *adult* way.
He will fight back on issues.

But when stupid potshots are thrown, he may make a "WTF" face, but he won't get in the mud.
