"In short, both senators were corporate lawyers, and both have enjoyed happy connections in the corporate world (as did that budding populist, Mr. Edwards)."

Sigh. . . How you've changed, Joe. You've become like those Heathers in the media you used to criticize back in the day. You concentrate on the cute/silly tit for tat between Obama and Clinton and pretty much ignore Edwards . . . or, if you do mention him, it is in a smug, dismissive way. How high-school cliquey is that? How Maureen Dowdish!! And to top it off, almast as an afterthought, you throw in a little backhand swipe at Edwards that is non-specific and unsubstantiated. How White Water!!!

FYI: I believe that John Edwards was a successful litigator against corporations before he ran for Senate in North Carolina. Edwards is also the candidate that corporate lobbyists and CEOs have named as the one they would least like to be elected president. They really like Romney, McCain, and Clinton and they think Obama would most likely be okay, too.
