I even feel slightly betrayed. Though, we are not his family members, we as supporters did place a good bit of trust in him as we supported him and encouraged others to do so. I The revelations definitely undermines that trust. I was aware of the changes in his positions from '04 to the '08 race, but still felt that he was a decent and genuine candidate. He seemed to learn from the '04 run when he ran like an expedient politician, only to realize the fallacy of expediency and return to his true principles for the '08 run. I still don't doubt this latter run was more genuine. But it's also true as he said that he started feeling a little full of himself. He needs to earn his redemption now. The "cause" is more than just giving speeches on universal healthcare and progressivism and then disappearing into lucrative private life once the run for the presidency is over. He owes it to his supporters, to society and to his wife to redeem himself. Elizabeth Edwards is a greater person. She still urged him to keep running for the sake of the cause, despite learning of his betrayal and her cancer remission. That's a remarkable commitment to the cause. John Edwards should learn from Al Gore. Deeds matter more than words.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
