I'm not much of an Edwards fan. Edwards was a Tort lawyer before he got into politics, mostly malpractice. For those of you who don't know, medical Tort law involves getting together dozens of alleged cases of wrongdoing, and then suing the doctors at fault in one big case, for millions of dollars. John Edwards claims that he wants to help the little man, but he takes 50 to 60% off the top of the awards that he wins for his clients, hence his immense personal wealth. If John Edwards really wanted to help the little man, he would be doing pro bono work for wrongly evicted families or something.

Instead he is suing in huge medical malpractice cases, and only hurting the 'little man.' By suing allegedly negligent doctors, he forces the doctors to need more insurance. As a result, doctors must pay more in insurance premiums (and some doctors even refuse to practice, or perform deliveries, which is where Edwards made his money), so the doctors must be paid more. In turn, hospitals charge more. John Edwards doesn't help the little man, he screws him by contributing to the already expensive medical bills that Americans have to pay.

In short, the moral hypocrisy in John Edwards' past have lost the democratic party my vote. (Aside from the fact that Kerry doesn't have a platform or any kind of plans, just pipedream promises to cut the national defecit, as well as the intention of raising the already outrageous gas prices by a 10 cent tax per gallon of gas. )
