money goes.

Dianne Feinstein watches the details of our national defense and our legal system, but her campaign finance staff allegedly stole her money and spent for purposes that had nothing to do with Dianne Feinstein and were not supported by Dianne Feinstein.

If it can happen to Dianne Feinstein (and a number of other Democrats in California), it could happen to Edwards.

I'm just saying that you shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Also, a lot of Obama fans were very anti-Edwards. But many of us here on DU appreciated and still appreciate the fact that Edwards was, whether sincere or not (and that is something we really can't judge), the only candidate other than Kucinich who spoke about our broken economy. Obama seemed surprised to discover that we are broke. Edwards knew that our closed factories were not producing anything we can sell or use, and he pointed this out.

Edwards has not been convicted of anything yet. And as I have pointed out, it isn't Edwards who killed American citizens with drones.

Edwards' healthcare plan included allowing younger people to enroll in Medicare among other things. Edwards warned about negotiating with health insurance companies.

Obama would be way ahead today if he had included Edwards among his advisers rather than some of the folks he did include.
