Reply #34: Edwards' ace in the hole [View All]

[ripple]

is that he doesn't have to be accountable through the legislative process for anything he advocates. He can truly be an armchair quarterback.

I like Edwards and he's actually my second choice of those in the running, but I think it's important to remember that he does not have a constituency that he's accountable to and that when he was a United States Senator himself, he made a very, very bad choice.

With that said, I think it shows savvy on his part that he's playing up this political advantage.
