Edwards

I don't care that he cheated on his wife. That's between John and Elizabeth.

I am pissed that he pursued the Democratic nomination knowing this potential scandal was out there. Can you imagine if he were the presumptive nominee today? Or worse, if this came out after the convention nominated him? It would be total disaster.

Even if he had managed to get into the White House before this story broke (which I can't imagine given the increased scrutiny on the nominee), it would have severely weakened him and his chances of enacting the policies he supposedly believes so strongly in.

The affair was very reckless for him personally. The subsequent candidacy jeopardized his entire party. Besides being a despicable husband, he is a selfish narcissistic jerk.

I write this as someone who strongly supported Edwards in 2004.
