Reply #18: No, I'm trying to understand how someone's opinion of John Edwards could change so drastically [View All]

in a couple months. He hasn't changed. And, sorry, but I don't quite buy your "she just started paying attention" claim, because that seems dismissive of your mother and, frankly, contradictory. Along the lines of, "Oh, my mom likes John Edwards, but she's just not paying enough attention."

As I said in another response, regardless of the nominee, the top of the ticket is simply not reason enough to abandon the party. After the last six years, the stakes are simply too high to stay home or vote for Rudy or Mitt.
