John Edwards

By Ron Chusid Besides dropping in popularity, the two have little in common. Sure both are former vice presidential candidates and both are partially known for their hair, but otherwise their careers at this point have little in common. John Edwards’ popularity has dropped because he was caught cheat...

By The Huffington Post News Team According to the survey, the former vice presidential candidate maintains a 40% favorability rating, the lowest it has been since she emerged as a national political figure at last year's Republican convention. Over the course of Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) presidential campaign Pali...

By Carloz While Edwards' national political career is most certainly finished, another former vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, may be just beginning hers. Palin became a bit of a sensation after John McCain tapped her as his running mate last August.

By Lincoln Mitchell The vetting process for vice presidential candidates is clearly quite different than that for the people on the top of the ticket. Vice presidential candidates must face a series of, presumably, difficult interviews from the nominee's team and provide information on their background...

By Moe PBS anchor Gwen Ifill has been a pundit for decades, but she shrewdly avoided controversy until the 2004 presidential campaign, when she moderated the vice presidential debate between Dick Cheney and John Edwards. Remember that? At first you maybe thought, "How nice, that America has f...

By debaron@uiuc.edu When Barack Obama said of rival John McCain's economic plan, "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig," Republicans loudly complained that he was attacking vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who had connected lipstick, hockey moms, and pit bulls in her speech at the Repub...

By Clay Waters I also think that it raises questions about John McCain's qualities as a chief executive, his decision-making. The vice-presidential pick is a very important decision for any candidate. It's the first real decision that the candidate makes, and it gives insight into how that candidate w...

By Mona Gable But it turns out that John Edwards, former senator, onetime vice presidential candidate, who rose from being the son of a mill worker to become a populist champion and Democratic candidate for president, is just a man. And a pretty flawed one at that. A politician who thought he could cheat o...

By Steve Kornacki In the three national campaigns he has run - two for the Democratic presidential nomination and one as the party's vice presidential nominee - John Edwards won a grand total of one contest -- the South Carolina primary in 2004.

By KimC The demeaning tactics being used by McCain this week remind me of the 2004 Vice Presidential debate between the older and much more experienced Dick Cheney and the younger and much less experienced first time Senator, John Edwards.  To bring John Edwards down to size Cheney barked at Edwa...

I got emails thanking me for not covering it, with links of some sites who went over the top when doing so. But the nub of the issue reveals all. This would be a bombshell story if one of McCain’s potential vice presidential picks was found in this position. The only reason most of us aren’t coveri...

By Michael Huppman Wait a moment. Didn't former Sen. John Edwards run for leadership four years ago? When he sought the Democratic nomination for president and ended up the vice presidential nominee with John Kerry? And again this year, when Edwards tried again for his own nomination?

By Mary NEW YORK (Associated Press) --  Angling for a vice presidential nod, Hillary Rodham Clinton refused to bow out of the Democratic race Tuesday, hoping to maintain leverage as Barack Obama clinched the delegates needed to secure the party's nomination.
