Elizabeth Edwards was a DUer.

32. I agree. Baitball

My wife and I couldn't decide who to vote for in the SC primary. Congressman Clyburn (minority whip) has a big fish fry every election year on the eve of the state convention. All 8 candidates were there, so we personally spoke to four of them, including Obama. The final debate was the Saturday before the Tuesday vote, and we both decided that, based on the moving speech Edwards gave about poverty, that he deserved our vote even though he didn't appear to have a chance.
What really pissed us off later was thinking: What if he had locked up the nomination before the scandal came out? That might have damaged the party so badly that the replacement candidate would have been unelectable. That is unforgivable.
BTW, after the SC vote, I switched to Obama while my wife joined the Clinton camp. We both enthusiastically supported and worked for Obama after he secured the nomination.
