Trying for the Right Credentials
July 31st 2008 02:41
John Edwards is really having a tough time of it lately. First, he couldn't even win his home state in his run for the Vice Presidency in 2004 (might have had a little something to do with his running mate, of course...) Then his wife got sick. Her cancer returned and it didn't look promising for her recovery. But he bravely decided to go ahead with his presidential bid for 2008. Sick wife and small children being less important to him than the election didn't help much, though. He dropped out fairly early and crept off to lick his political wounds. Then he was on Barack Obama's "short list" for another run as VP! Now there's that pesky rumor about him cheating on his wife (who is still alive and still very sick). Ooopppss, it seems he's been dropped from the "short list."
In his relentless search for credentials that will lend him some "gravitas", Mr. Edwards has tried every standard ploy, even inventing a few of his own, and made just about every political mistake he could find. Could it be that he thought cheating on his wife would lend him a certain Clinton-like charm?
Really Long Link
