the fact that they both were pols for 6 years before running is a plus
because you can hold up that huge contrast between the genuine and the phoney
before politics:
Edwards - Moved from town to town in SC, GA, and NC, worked and paid his way through High-school, state-college(where he finished at the top of his class) and married his girlfriend after public Law school. Became most successful lawyer in NC history.
Bush - Rich Oilmans son. Partyer,slacker in Andover prepschool, Partyer,slacker at Yale. Partyer,slacker in Champaign devision of TANG. Drunk/failed bussinessman until 40's.
got into politics:
Edwards - after his pride and joy Wade was killed in accident, deciding he needed to do something that didn't remind him of it as personal injury law did, and commited himself to run for US senate, to help people like those he grew up with.
Bush - Group of fathers friends used his name to take the governors seat.
political career highlights
Edwards - Patient's bill of rights, Pickering and Ashcroft interragation, Impeachment defense, 9-11 reaction, recovery legislation, important privacy, environmental, and coporate-regulation legislation, worker's shareholders bill of rights etc etc.
Bush - Deregulating Enron, fake Texas Miracle, envoronmental deregulation, execution record
-----------
Edwards is the anti-bush, because he's shown that he is the candidate who is the most regulatory, and Bush is the most corpratist president since hoover
