19. The Edwards of 2004
that denounced the two Americas, one for the have and one for the havenots. Who made a bold move in mentioning the poverty issue. Who passionately argued that those who worked hard for a living were recieving a larger share of the tax burden than the wealthy. Who soared into second place in Wisconsin because he began to differ with other candidates on the free trade, by arguing against a deal that was being proposed. Who proposed a college for everyone plan that grants college tuition for kids willing to work at a state school (sound famaliar?). Contrary to belief, while he is more aggressive this time around, and has certainly evolved on the war, Edwards was very much a populist in his previous campaign.

On the lawyer issue, Edwards certainly made a lot of money. But it was at the expense of negligent corporations, such as a swimming pool manufacturer whose faulty drain which they know of, severly injured a young girl. Again nice try Senator Obama. So much for being the one who wanted an uplifting campaign that unites everyone.
