On the possible comeback of John Edwards...

Opinions, public or private, of politicians are pretty low; and rightfully so. Scores of public scandals, with Bill Clinton topping it off, are embarrassing enough. But there's something about John Edwards' case that irks me.

Edwards admitted to bedding a former staffer while he's campaigning in the primaries. This was the staffer who was chartered to make a video of Edwards on the campaign trail, to be put on YouTube and the web, to promote him as the "net candidate." Subsequent videos even show how he had flirted with this staffer. This was also the same time when he championed family values, with his wife fighting for her life in cancer treatment while still tucked in tow with the kids to campaign for Edwards. While Bill Clinton had lied, at least he hadn't used Hillary Clinton this way.

There is something hypocritical about Edwards, who cares deeply about his appearance and who allegedly paid $400 for haircuts. This is the guy, who supposedly cares about the causes that he campaigned for, and yet puts himself above the system. I'm sure he knew he would wreck his party, damage his causes, should he won the nomination and even presidency, and the scandal leaks after that. No matter, he cares more about himself than anything/anyone else.

The only words that come to mind about him is: vain.

And now, less than a few months after the scandal broke and he went into hiding, he re-emerges after Obama won. No doubt he wants everyone to forget and move on. But for those who had supported him in the past, particularly through two election seasons, only to be let down drastically by Edwards, it won't be an easy feat. While I'm not an Edwards' supporter, I don't forgive and forget that easily.
