With the discontent of the electorate becoming ever more apparent, I never heard a convincing argument from Edwards that his change of heart was anything more than a shifting of strategy to better reflect public sentiment. I know he cares about poor people, I'm relieved he cares about poor people. What I want to know is why didn't his votes in the senate reflect his concern for their well-being? Just saying you made a mistake doesn't make you humble and wonderful, explain why you made the mistake and why you've changed your mind. I feel exactly the same.
