It seems the one Democratic candidate that none of the other candidates, as well as the msm, want to see win the nomination is John Edwards. O'Reilly
wrote him off early last year after the religion scandal with his call center. Nobody, including myself, has given him a snowballs chance of
success.
But who is the guy, really? And will we be given, or will we take, the chance to find out?
Analysis: Who Is The Real John Edwards?
Campaign Fights To Foster Man Of The People Image Over Those Who Call Him A Hypocrite
One image of Edwards is that he's a champion of the embattled middle class and poor, an up-from-his-bootstraps populist waging war against special
interests who favor the rich and established.
The other take: He's a phony.
His rivals are working behind the scenes to exploit the "three Hs" - haircut, house and hedge fund. Edwards' $1,250 haircuts, his new
28,000-square-foot estate in North Carolina and his consulting work with a hedge fund that caters to the super rich undercut his everyman image.
"I think any time you're a strong, passionate voice for real substantive change there are very powerful forces that would love to silence you,"
Edwards said in an interview between campaign stops.
The theory goes like this: Edwards is viewed as a threat because he embraces bold changes for foreign policy (withdraw from Iraq), health care
(universal coverage), education (college for all), and even for his own party (ban lobbyist donations to Democrats and the party).

So which is it? Champion of the disenfranchised, or just another phony (like the rest of the candidates at the top in the race, imo)?
Most everyone in the political arena and the msm being against him works in his favor with me, just like with Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich.
