the secret is to catch fire and burn brightly for the whole campaign season..
some catch fire early, and then just burn out.. I think that's what Edwards did.. It takes more than good looks and a southern drawl to win.. He probably thought he was "Kennedyesque" enough to carry the day.. Sadly, the people who still remember Kennedy from first hand experience, saw Edwards as a lightweight..
He should have waited til he had 2 terms under his belt... now he will end up back home or maybe in an administrative position , if a dem gets elected..
He had his timing off...just like Gore did in 88 and 92..
Timing is everything :)
