Didn't we know that Edwards was a slime-ball?

I agree. I always thought there was something very disingenuous and dishonest about Edwards. I never trusted him. He definitely had a "snake oil salesmanship" demeanor. I always thought he seemed like a snake who was trying to p himself off as an honest down-to-earth Southern boy. There was always something charlatan-like about Edwards. I never even liked him when he ran with Kerry.
