No figure embodies the American Political Process quite like the president ial candidate. At their best, candidates represent an ideal the overcoming of obstacles or hopes for a better future, protecting the people from the powerful. Its intoxicating stuff. Reality, of course, is less glamorous. Supporting that candidate is an army volunteers, donors, political operatives, and they can sometimes get too wrapped up in in the lore, the legend, which brings us to the story of Johnny Reid Edwards an american success story, crusading trial lawyer, family man. The senator from North Carolina was seen by millions of americans as the future of the Democratic Party. Candidate john edwards was inspirational. People seemed as if they would go to the ends of the earth for him. And in some cases, he made them. Because in reality, john edwards the person well, he was no savior.
