If Edwards ever became the nominee the GOP will go after "the populist" who lives in a 28,000 square foot home...And after his one term in the Senate Edwards should never have gone to work for an organization that takes advantage of offshore tax havens for the benefit of it’s managing partners and investors and conducts operations outside of traditional regulatory constraints that competing investments are subject to. This employment could not have helped Edwards’ cause or his political career (in contrast with Democratic candidates who might necessarily elect to accept campaign contributions from PACs or benefit from 527s while criticizing our campaign finance system since you can’t fix it if you don’t win). Senator Edwards sets the bar high, and he and his supporters should not be surprised if his association with the the Hedge Fund Fortress Investment Group calls his sincerity into question. I believe he’s sincere, but I also believe that this association could interfere with his message during a general election if he were to be the Democratic nominee.
