Don't even get me started on Edwards. I believed in this guy and was all ready to vote for him in the CT primary and then this scandal got published in the Enquirer. Even THEN I didn't believe it and I defended him.

Imagine my dismay when I found out the truth!

Geezus god, I was pissed as hell! And I am still pissed. I felt betrayed by someone I had believed in. But it was a case of transferring my feelings to him, I now realize. I thought he felt the way I did. I thought he and Elizabeth had a strong, caring marriage.

As a result of what happened with him, I will NEVER trust so completely in a candidate for office. NEVER. Sad but true.

This guy can rot in hell for all I care...
