Anyway, I found that these comments about the political life and death of John Edwards written by one "Thirsty McWormwood" for The American Spectator summed it all up quite nicely:
Working class people took one look at this ambulance-chasing pretty-boy, saw him for the shallow hack he was and paid him no mind. Edwards's real constituency was his fellow wealthy upper-class whites, the types who populate the New York Times editorial pages and opinion journals like Slate.com and the New Republic. His "Two Americas" line appealed to their liberal guilt and sense of noblesse oblige. There just aren't nearly enough of them to win an election.
Thank God.
