[Read the article: I saw John Edwards in the shampoo aisle]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This essay was a weak defense of what I thought a deserved fatal moment for the Edwards campaign. His vigorous concern for poverty in America was rendered instantly moot. I have always had a lingering doubt about his depth and understanding of the very complex issues facing our country. In the last campaign, his repetitive drone about two Americas showed a serious lack of imagination.Three years later he gets a $400 haircut! Oh, he didn`t know! His staff didn`t think to ask! We don`t need another stupid president. He voted for the authorization for war for political cover after 9/11, now he apologizes.Too late, there were plenty of credible voices explaining exactly how wrong war would be [the pope, Sen. Byrd,the Canadians, Nelson Mandela....]
Had he sufficient character and judgement, he could have run a fearless campaign. With Elizabeth`s health prospects so unknown, and given her eloquent courage, he could have run the populist campaign any democrat dreams of. But no, his campaign, and the candidate himself are too self important to ask what does this haircut cost? Two Americas for sure. Goodbye Senator Edwards, I hope you and Liz live long happy lives. RDT
