Reply #81: Edwards handled a difficult situation in his usual poised manner.

I assure you, Edwards has met much worse crowds in his jury trials. IMO, Hillary would have cackled. IMO, Obama would have hemmed and hawed and acted very embarrassed. Edwards politely accepts the inevitable (by making his statement short), acknowledges the feelings of those who are booing (by saying "you didn't come to listen to me") and quietly leaves. That's what a true professional and a humble person does in such a situation.

Bravo, Edwards.

No one succeeds all the time. No one is greeted with cheers at every turn. It isn't what happens to you, it is how you deal with what happens to you that counts.

Bravo, Edwards.
