We are often judged by the company we keep.  And that is more obvious in politics than in other walks of life.  So who is John Edwards?  Perhaps this quote will help:

Amanda Marcotte on the Duke case (Pandagon, January 21, 2007):

"Naturally, my flight out of Atlanta has been delayed. Let's hope it takes off when they say it will so I don't miss my connecting flight home.

"In the meantime, I've been sort of casually listening to CNN blaring throughout the waiting area and good fucking god is that channel pure evil. For awhile, I had to listen to how the poor dear lacrosse players at Duke are being persecuted just because they held someone down and fucked her against her will -- not rape, of course, because the charges have been thrown out. Can't a few white boys sexually assault a black woman anymore without people getting all wound up about it? So unfair."

So nice to see people who believe in the concept of guilty until proven innocent.

So who is Amanda Marcotte?  Why the New blogmaster for the Edwards campaign!  He and Hugo Chavez should become the best of buddies!  They beleive in the same thing - absolute power.
