I hesitate to see why Edwards is at fault here. He didn't fire either staffer; they each resigned on their own after he had declined to fire them. In a political campaign, it would have even been understandable for him to want to sever ties with them if they were seen as dragging down the momentum of his campaign, but he didn't. I still haven't seen any proof that he doesn't deserve our vote.
Sure...in an ideal world our next President would be named Dennis Kucinich, but we could do a whole lot worse than John Edwards. He's sure preferable to Hillary (which has nothing to do with her gender!)
