A new book coming out written by Bob Shrum says that John Edwards was actually against the war in Iraq when he voted to support it. According to Shrum, Edwards was pushed into voting for the war because nobody would take him seriously if he voted against it. Edwards says that it isn't true, that he really was for the war before he was against it.
But still, nobody takes him seriously.

In that setting he was able to determine what other people should have done after the events had played themselves out. He always operated out of hindsight - 20/20 hindsight. As a Senator, he did not have that luxury, and not suprisingly he had a misearble record. As a presidential candidate, he can again operate and criticize based on hindsight - if elected, we would have the least prepared president in history.
