Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit Discussion

Seen on TruthOut: an article on John Edwards’s antipoverty stance.  Summary: Edwards has chosen to make poverty his main issue, even though it may not be a winning issue, because he cares about it.  It’s not just a puff piece, either; it points out the things Edwards has done that make him look less sincere (he worked for a hedge fund from 2004 to 2006; he has a 28,000-square-foot home), compares him to people who want to do even more, and explains why his plans may not make much difference.
