I'm very impressed by Edwards because of what I have obseved in recent weeks. I gained no impression of him in the 2004 campaign because he was given no more role than to be a VP southern-accented balance to a New England candidate. A me-too shadow to Kerry's stay-on-message campaign.
However, I read here, and hear from some progressives I know that some are not sure Edwards is the genuine article. I would be interested in hearing specifically what is it that accounts for this skepticism.
Where he stands on medical marijuana, as a poster cites, is important information. But all other misgivings I see here and elsewhere seem based on gut sense, nothing substantial. Can anyone find a pattern of votes while in Congress that contradicts his campaign persone? Quotes from interviews? Anything?
