Why John Edwards Couldn't Win.

The Edwards Campaign: What went wrong?

During a time like Super Tuesday, it seems that everyone is caught up with trying to find out who's in the lead. As for me I've decide to take this time to figure out why John Edwards didn't lead and dominate this presidential campaign. There are times in history that the better candidate didn't win because of miscommunication with the common citizen.

The article above analyzes various points of views on why a candidate with good intentions, bullet proof credentials could still fail. The author suggest that John Edwards had a good intention but promoted the middle class as a "losing side" and special interest groups as "winning side" bringing upon a divide as though it is as clear as day. Which might be true, but the common man or woman doesn't want to believe that they are on a losing side if any side at all.

I believe this article is important to our society because we often glorify the victors so much that we forget those that contributed just as hard or at times more than those that succeeded.
