44. Good post.
I agree. Though Edwards was never the Republican-lite that his detractors characterize him as (he had a relatively good record re: liberal issues), I do believe that since retiring from the Senate, he's changed for the better. It is my opinion that Elizabeth's illness had something to do with that. The prospect of a grievous loss can be extraordinarily life affirming and can force a person to think outside themselves. Of course, some people will do the opposite; that is, become more insular. But it appears that the Edwards', both of them, decided to throw caution to the wind and live their lives on an ideological edge.
