I'm intrigued why Edwards decided to quit his Senate and run for President now. He certainly didn't "wait his turn," and he didn't hedge his bets by running for Senate again too. How likely was it that he would have been re-elected? I think this might have been the key to his decision.
I think it was a bold and possibly brilliant political move, depending on whether he gets the VP slot. Are there any other potential Kerry VPs? I like what I see of him personally, and admire that he was able to become so successful from such a modest background. I just disagree with his politics.
