30. I agree
I am sorry to say but I have difficulty trusting the sincerity and conviction of many of Edwards' populist (and not only) stances. Hate even more to make this comparison, but why do we laugh at Romney switching his positions all over the board while Edwards is the JOhn of Arc of the downtrodden? Edwards' changes of position, etc. are far less dramatic than ROmney's, I agree, but still... I may be completely wrong on this, sometime people do change dramatically in how they think and what they believe in, it does happen, but not too often. That's why I cannot really support Edwards though I agree with many of his positions. ANd yes, Biden sounded kind of mean when he took on Edwards the other night, but IMHO Edwards sounded kind of silly saying how he stood on 200 (was that the number?) picket lines in the last two years. Nice, he did not have much to do these last two years in any case, but Biden was perfectly right in questioning what he did the 20 previous years. For the sake of fairness, I do not really know much about Biden's position on labor, so maybe he was off the mark in contrasting his record with Edwards', but I doubt it.
