This guy is going to be so easy to defeat. The public just needs to learn ONE thing about him: TRIAL LAWYER. After which he will be TOAST.

That's exactly what the folks in the Faircloth campaign said back in '98...

Folks, I want to make it clear that I despise Edwards, but I would caution conservatives who rightly want to drop-kick this chicken-fried shyster right out of the body politic that harping on his trial lawyer background isn't going to be the silver bullet we would hope. The NC GOP thought all it had to do to re-elect Faircloth was to continually repeat the mantra that Edwards was an ambulance chasing sleaze. He is certainly that, but they lost, because they didn't properly gauge the extent to which the "feminization" of American politics has taken hold, even in the Tar Heel State. I don't want the national party to make the same mistake. This guy just rates off the charts in soccer mom focus groups, and pointing out that he and his ilk cost us all hundreds of billions a year in added costs doesn't get any traction when the vast majority of voters now believe that "the corporations" are a bottomless source of wealth. Edwards is "cute", and "he cares about kids", and that's all that the soccer moms think is necessary for him to be worthy to be POTUS.
